Challenger S - Great Features, Awesome Value

Form factor is spot on. Fits my micro-ATX MSI B85 LG1150 mobo great, as well as my PNY GTX 770 GPU. Lots of clearance to the back of the case. I love the HDD/SDD mounting system. I'm somewhat familiar with Corsair cases, most of those that I've seen use sliding disk trays that hold the 3.5" disks and move in/out of the case. However, this Rosewill system just takes the drive on built-in rails, nice and secure. Love that when I'm wiring everything up. If I remember right, the optical bay has the same mounting. In addition to the solid 3.5" mounts, there are two screw-and-latch mounts atop the HDD and hanging below the optical bay for 2.5" drives. I use an SSD in the bottom one, haven't tried laptop HDD yet. LEDs inside the front-mounted fans are nifty but not my cup of tea. Space for two fans on the top (can't tell you measurements, same size as included on the back), mounting holes for a larger fan on the side panel would be great. But with the right size fan, the air holes would do well enough. In general, included fans aren't noisy at all. Optical drive covers are stylish and not too hard to remove, just look in the instruction manual. Cable management was decent, I'm not religious about that. Sure wish it had a second USB 3.0 on the front, though. There's a bit of a shelf to separate full ATX mobos from the power supply. Came with a plethora of screws, mobo spacers, and some zip ties, and a short/sweet instruction manual. Even has a motherboard speaker, mostly helpful when building a new system. As far as cons go, the front fan cables were longer than I needed and it got crowded. In their defense, they have 4-pin Molex as well as mobo power connectivity. Nice plus. Again, really wish I could have an additional USB 3.0 front port, but the low cost of the tower outweighed that. There's no processor indicator, which doesn't matter too much to me, I use Rainmeter on both monitors anyway. 9/10, have recommended already.

Nice case for the money.

This is a cool case for the price. It has good slots for cable management, it just doesn't have the rubber grommets inside the holes for the cables. No big deal for me. I see a lot of cases these days that don't have slots for regular hard drives. Sure, I use a SSD or two in my builds, but my large storage is still 2 or 3 HDD's. This case has room for 3 or 4 of them. It has two slots in the back for a SSD holder, which is a small metal frame that you screw your SSD into, then the holder is held in place with one thumb screw. There is one SSD frame included, but two slots to use one. So, you could order a second one I am guessing? The case feels well-made, it looks nice. It is nice and wide for massive air coolers like a 212 EVO. It has two different spots to mount water cooling radiators. I like the magnetic air filter on top. That'll make it easy to take off to clean, then just slap it back in place. There's one on the bottom, but it is not magnetic, it is held in place by some slots that it slides into. The front panel pops off with a strong tug from the bottom.

Mid-Level Case Accessible for Entry Level Builds

I recently made a build with bang for the buck parts either I had to buy or I already had lying around. This case generally received very good marks for being a simple case for simple builds. This was exactly what I needed. My first big nod to Rosewill was to include a tool that screwed the standoffs to the case. That did much better than any screwdriver I had. Problem was is that I was only given 8 standoffs and you need 9 for a standard ATX motherboard. I had to strategically screw the board down so the one standoff that was missing was in a non-bearing area. So far so good. My not-so-great cable management abilities aside, the build came out really well inside of this tower of power. Nice blue LED fans in the front accentuate the accents of the case subtly. I also truly like the front plate leveling of the IO as opposed to an elevated front platform on the top of the case. I would recommend this case wholeheartedly!

Not a bad case at all

Not a bad case at all,especially for the price I purchased it. I only paid $5.99 as it was on sale for $25.99 and I had just received an Amazon gift card for $20.00. I was in need of a case for my AM4 build and was using an old stock HP case which was not working out well, so this was a nice change and right on budget. The metal is a little thin but there is an up side to that, if you accidentally bend it you can easily bend it back. The only down side was the DVD installation. I could not find instructions on how to install and never thought I would need any as I have build a hundred or more systems but this case was a little different. The DVD will not fit in as it usually does. I figured it out the next day when I went to do a little cable management. You have to removed front cover and obviously the DVD knock out. Then insert the DVD drive - do not screw it in or try to force it through the knock out - it will not work. Place the front cover back on. Make sure you have both side panels removed. Push the DVD drive so that it touches the dvd knock out opening - again it will not come all the way through it will be recessed. Screw the drive in from the back side unless you can get the front side to lock. The design of the case does not allow for the dvd drive to extend out as normal - if it did, the sides of the dvd drive would be exposed. It works looks decent. It is just enough for the drive to open and close properly.

THE BEST CASE WITHIN THE $50 PRICE RANGE, HANDS DOWN!

I went with the Bradley M from Rosewill because it was well within my price range @ around $40. I was doing a lot of research prior to buying this case, and looked at several other options from manufacturers like DIYPC, Corsair, Cougar and Raidmax. Between all of them, the Rosewill Bradley M stood out to me the most. Although the side window is acrylic, it's a very nice touch to look and showoff your build on the inside but it does scratch easily! I've used a few other Rosewill components before and the quality is top notch. The Bradley M is no different. For being a budget case, it's actually quite solid! The side panels are thin but have literally no flex at all! And the chassis without the side panels is actually quite rigid! Arrived undamaged, it also came with a useful manual and of course some hardware like zip ties for cable management and standoffs to install your motherboard. I swapped out the 2 front blue LED fans for some green LED fans easily. The front panel is very easy to take off and put back on. There's are also top and bottom dust filters but, THERE IS NO FRONT DUST FILTER! The dust does accumulate easy, but it shouldn't be an issue as long as you're dusting out your computer once in a while. If you're that worried about dust you can buy 120mm fan dust filters to install in front of the fans. But your airflow might be affected. Another plus for the Bradley M is that the pci slot covers are replaceable, they are not irreplaceable punch out pci slot covers! On the other side, the cable management is easy in this case even with a non-modular PSU, plenty of feed holes and no sharp edges. I'm glad I went with this case for my first build! I've had it for about 6 months now and it's been great! My side panel has scratched a bit but it's not too noticeable!

Decent case for the price

I needed to replace an 8+ year old development system, so was looking for a case that would support the newer motherboards as well as a 5-1/4" bay for a DVD drive. I didn't really need a gaming case, but this was a good price and fit my needs. While there isn't much in the way of cable management features built in I was able to dress all the cables neatly and found it pretty easy to work with. It's a lighter gauge sheet metal but seems to be sturdy enough at least for my needs. If I needed another similar case at some point in the future I would certainly buy this one again. Maybe over time something will surface as far as cooling or other functionality is concerned, but that doesn't appear to be an issue at this point, everything is running quite cool, but then again I'm not taxing the system like heavy duty gaming might.

Solidly built and quiet

I'd say there are very few reason NOT to like this case. It is solidly built with a black finish paint on all the external surfaces. The back opening covers are held in place with screws, as opposed to the pop outs that my last case had. Both sides come off to allow for relatively easy cable management and such. The fans on the front and back are super quiet! The only thing I had to get used to was the location for the power button. It's a on the side of the raised portion where the USB plugs on the front are. I usually keep the tower under my desk and have to feel for it. If I were to change it I would light the power button with an LED or something, but that's a relatively minor thing. If you are looking for a cylon look or like the color blue for the lighting, this case is absolutely for you!

Great Case for different configurations

Let me tell you this is one of the best cases that I ever got it since it allows several configurations and you can fit pretty much everything in it. I went ahead and got an RGB set of Fans in order to make this case look cooler so my pictures do not show the included blue fans. Why I like this case. 1. It has a DVD port, 2. 2 Front, 1 back, and 2 top fans port all 120mm (read disclousure later for the top panels) 3. No tool hard Drive mounting system. But you do need tools if you are going to mount 2.5 SSD drives. 4. Plenty of space for Graphic cards and After market CPU coolers. 5. Cable management system is good, but might be a little tight if you don't get a modular PSU. I made mine work by using the bottom 3.5 hard drive tray to store all the unused PSU cables, that you can't see via the side window. 6. SIDE WINDOW IS AWESOME! Warnings. 1. If you are going to use a DVD drive you will block one of the top Fan Panels so you will only be able to use one (not really an issue for me since I didn't want to install a any radiators). But if you do, you have to choose either DVD drive or Top Radiator. Note: You can still mount the radiator on the front but you have to make sure your water cooling system will reach. 2. The finish is Piano black, aka a finger print magnet. If you are like me a use your computer to play old CD/DVD games you might end up putting some finger prints there (as you can see on one of my pictures). 3. If you plan to install a DVD drive you need to remove the front panel first, then top panel, mount the drive, and reroute the Power, Reset, USB 2 and 3 cables. I noticed several comments about not being able to use the dvd drive. The way these cables are routed I believe is to allow a top radiator mount. 4. If you are removing the top panel you need to remove the Front Panel first (and put them back in Top first and then front). Cons. 1. I don't really have any cons, but if you ask me I would probably make the front panel design a little different to allow the top fan to work without any blockage. It has about 1 inch clearance between the panel and where the fan is mounted so I believe the airflow interference is minimum, but for RGB LED fans it does block some of the light.

EXCELLENT VALUE FOR THE PRICE

Pros: -Bare chassis is very light. -Reasonable layout for an ATX MOBO -Front panel USB 2 & 3 with reach enough to get to the bottom of MoBo (where most have the usb ports) -Filtered air inlets for 5.25 bays blanks -Bottom mount Power Supply gives stability to the light chassis -Clean looking chassis -side panel slides into place easily ('ve seen some chassis that aren't so easy to close up e.g. HP) -Mounting holes are well placed and everything lines up well Cons: -Not a lot of cable management options, If your a neat freak it'll tax your wits to keep it clean -No surplus hardware, Don't lose any thing. (A 5mm socket or nut driver will be very useful for standoffs) -That's about all I can think of. Been integrating system since the 8086 days and have seen a wide array or chassis. This one gave me no problems stuffing a basic system (MoBo/Processor, 1 hd, 1 dvd and a decent video ) in and took about 1/2 hour till spinup and another 15 to tie up cables and close it up.

good for newbies

I bought this to replace an eight year old rig my cousin made. I've never built my own rig before and a buddy recommended this case. Its affordable and easy to navigate as a newbie. the built in fans are really nice, but you have to make sure the motherboard you put in it has enough plugs for the front fans. The metal, broad side of the computer is pretty spacious and I was able to hide all of my wires behind it and leave lots of open breathing room inside the rig. There is a second bay for a disk drive but the front of the case only has one open bay, but you can put an adaptor in it for another hard drive, (it already has 5 that I counted). Over all, I was extremely pleased with the simplicity and appearance of the case.
