Rosewill cases

Do any of the Rosewill cases make a good foundation for a quiet PC? Rosewill makes some attractive cases and NewEgg carries many of the models.

They're dirt cheap and there's nothing wrong with them for a vanilla PC, which is why they're so popular at Newegg. I don't recall that any of them support a 120mm exhaust fan, which is the basic starting point for a case that can be quiet.

They aren't all "dirt cheap" and more of them than not have a 120mm exhaust fan.

You're absolutely correct and I apologize. When I was doing a complete search for all cases with 220mm side fans, I noticed one case with 713 reviews (wow!), and misremembered it as being one of the very cheap Rosewills. [It wuz a Powmax.]

One of Rosewill's cases, this (also available in white!) one in particular is of interest. It seems to be extremely similar to Antec's popular SLK3000B, minus the re-inforcing brace that runs underneath the PSU bay. Two 120mm fans with a closed front panel that should prevent noise from getting out easily. It's dirt cheap, and comes with no power supply.
