Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

Rosewill Conqueror is a mid-tower case targeted to the average user that wants an inexpensive case with features usually only found on high-end models. Here is a summary of what we found about this product.

Strong Points

  • Light.
  • Amazing number of hard disk drive bays that will please even very high-end users.
  • Excellent flexibility for the disk drive bays configuration.
  • Meshed bay covers with dust filters.
  • Big open hole for the rear fan.
  • FireWire port and two USB ports that are far away from each other, allowing you to install two “fat” USB devices at the same time.

Weak Points

  • No speed control for the fans.
  • No screwless mechanism for fastening daughter boards or disk drives.
  • No anti-vibration mechanism for the hard disk drives.

The maximum suggested retail price for this case (USD 110) is completely out of reality. This case is a good pick if you can buy it for around USD 60. In fact it is sold at Newegg.com for USD 65, which is not a bad price at all. At this price point it competes with Tagan A+ Curbic, a mid-tower case that we reviewed and liked a lot. Compared to this model from Tagan, Conqueror has the advantage of coming with an amazing flexible disk drive configuration, while A+ Curbic has on its side the presence of speed control for its fans. Rosewill Conqueror is certainly a very good option for the regular user looking for a good priced entry-level mid-tower case with features usually found only on more expensive models, and that is why we are giving it our "Golden Award" seal. But, of course, if you prefer a case with a better construction quality you will have to buy a more expensive product.
