Rosewill Blackhawk Mid-Tower

[JGoosey52]

Looking at a lot of reviews and such I can't find much about this case, or at least nothing with a video to actually see it. I was just wondering if this is not a really popular case or if anyone that has it, do you like it? Does it fit/cool everything?

There's this popular video service called Youtube :thumbsup:

At $90 I don't think it's worth it, I'd rather have a Corsair 300R, Antec 302, Fractal Design Core 3000 or even NZXT Tempest 410 Elite, all of which cost less

 

[JGoosey52]

I guess I wasn't looking hard enough

And thank you good sir

This case has sparked my interest a lot, thank you!

I think a lot of Rosewill cases are manufactured by Aerocool.

Sorry if this is n00b, but what significance is that?

My step father has the midtower version and after seeing how awesome it was I went out and bought the super-full tower version . The thing has so many spots for fans its almost crazy. The stock fans are all very quiet and internally it has room for everything, plus behind the mobo tray has enough room to route all the cables including the 24pin. And if you wanted a HUGE case, the Blackhawk Ultra has all of that and more. Though somthing to note, the side panels are very flimsy, coming from a HAF 912 thats somthing I noticed immediatley. Not flimsy enough to not touch them, just a noticable amount of "flims?" and the 3.5 bays arent tooless, you have to screw the drives into the bracket then it slides in. A very stupid design, my HAF 912 was a 60$ budget case and it even had tooless 3.5's, not sure why my 220$ monster case couldnt. Any more questions and ill be happy to answer them, my case is right next to me and my step fathers is just upstairs

Is it too big though?

Also, I like Antec cases I just don't like having a black case with a white inside. And that's my only drawback with a lot of them.

The midtower version is the absolute perfect size, the huge version is massive, wouldnt fit under my desk. I needed that much room though for my hard drives which is why I got it, but the regular version fits just like a normal mid tower would.

Check out the antec 302, i used to own the 300 and a 6$ can of black spraypaint fixed the cold rolled steel interior.

True, for my first own build though I would be scared to screw up though haha

haha, fair enough. Im not sure you are going to get much in the way of a good case at a good price with a painted interior. The only other one that comes to mind is this:

You could try the CM 690/2. though they cost as much as the Blackhawk and arent as nice (ive worked with both). Youre best bet might be to just bite the bullet and grab a good case without a painted interior and just paint it, its just metal its not like you can damage it.
