Rosewill Gaming ATX Full Tower Computer Case Cases Thor V2-W

Pros:Price - This case is on the lower end of the Full Tower case prices, but the plastic and steel are definitely not cheap and don't feel like I can easily bend/break it. As such, I'm sure it will last me for years and that I won't have to worry about damaging it.Size - This case has a lot of extra room especially if you have an ATX motherboard so that you can easily fit custom water cooling equipment and pipes in the empty space, which I plan on doing. They also say it fits up to a 330 mm GPU but since mine is nowhere near that yet (I couldn't get the GPU I wanted since my previous case wasn't large enough) I don't know if that holds true or not. I'll update if and when I get a GPU closer to that size.Fans - They give you all the fans you need, but their design allows you to put multiple 12 0mm and 140 mm instead of the provided 230 mm fans. As my computer stays cool under load (CPU has dedicated pre-built water cooling) I see no reason to switch out the huge fans at this time. Also, the 2 fan speed controllers work well, but aren't really necessary with the large fans since they're very quiet at full speed anyways. If I replaced with higher airflow fans the fans speed controllers (2 which can each support 3 fans) would probably be more useful/noticeable. Only gripe in this regard is only 1 provided fan has red LEDs (very very tiny gripe)HDD Mounting - Their metal sliders already include 2.5 SSD mounting slots and hardware so no extra adapter needed which was nice for me.Cable Management - They put ample space behind the motherboard and provide you with cable ties and anchor points for them so if you're really anal you can have everything tied down very cleanly and nicely.Cons:Dust Screens - Only the front and bottom has dust screens of any kind. As I live with animals and in dusty environments at college, this could mean cleaning it out much more often.Fins - They look really cool, but honestly being able to control them is pointless. They should have just made them solid and open but it's pretty minor that they're not.Disk Drive - The tool-less mounting is nice, but their opening is just big enough to fit a disk drive from the front and the screws that they mount their tool-less push button locks scratch the side of the disk drive. Not a big deal but it made getting the drive in harder than it should have been.Final Thoughts:None of the cons were enough for me to knock a star off, but mostly just things you should consider somewhat when comparing it to other cases. As this is not my first Rosewill case or product, I'm extremely happy with the quality and price. Nothing was missing and all the cables were correctly marked so even an inexperienced builder shouldn't have trouble putting components into the case. Also the simple front panel lighting for HDD activity and the lit THOR logo are really cool looking, but not obnoxious or too bright and because of it's name, my computer is now named Thor (seriously she names everything) courtesy of my Fiance. Finally, everything is working great and I absolutely love it.

Bought case to replace an aging one that was literally falling apart. First case was lost in transit, second arrived with bottom of box untaped, so shippers clearly have something against this product. Case was intact except for small piece of plastic under the front grill, this was quickly fixed with some superglue.Compared to my previous case, also a full tower, the inside is much roomier allowing better air flow. The large fans keep the noise level down and my Coolmaster hyper 212 heat sink and GTX 970 fit without any issue. The plastic on the front and top is pretty cheap feeling and the side panel are thin, but the case itself feels sturdy.The rubber grommets for the cables stayed put while running cables and make for a clean wiring job. There was plenty of room behind the motherboard panel to hide the mess. The hard drive mounting brackets are not tool-less, but do their job well and securely support both 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch hdd's and ssd's. I do not have a disk drive to try out the mounting system used for them.During installation some of the standoffs were hard to put in, due to what appears to be paint in the threads of the motherboard plate. They did seat fine with some effort though. The side fan also had to be persuaded to fit due to slight misalignment of the mounting holes.Over all the case is a significant improvement over my previous case and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a case with great air cooling potential. It is fairly large, but if size is an issue, there are plenty of good mid tower cases out there.

I bought this to replace the mid tower my pre-built came in. I wasn't too knowledgeable then on what should go where and my GPU was running very hot in a mid with very little cooling in it. My partner now got me up to speed and so I settled on the Thor V2 because I liked the size, cooling options, aesthetics, etc.It's plenty roomy even with the stock 4 fans (two of which are giant) and the Noctua we have in there. I wanted to keep the liquid cool system I had from the pre-built but it's a 360mm and would not fit, for anyone wondering. However, the Noctua D15 (I think) keeps my Ryzen 9 3950x at a stable 50ishC (it was about 45C with Corsair H150i) and my GPU is no longer running at 85C (avg currently 70-75). I'm still tweaking fan settings to make sure I don't fry the GPU under load, but a 15 degree difference is very nice. The large side fan blows directly at the GPU and helps an absolute ton. I believe the H100i would have fit but I wanted something powerful while not horribly expensive so I settled on the Noctua instead after lots of review searching and thinking.Drive bays and SSDs install super easy. Everything was simple to switch over and was done mostly without fuss. The case is super quiet even with fans at max but still very efficient. Very, very pleased with my purchase!
