Rosewill Rise Glow Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Final Thoughts

Price

Rosewill has a great chassis here, and it’s only made better by its competitive price. The Rosewill Rise Glow can be picked up from CCL Computers for a pretty reasonable £89.98, and while I admit that’s not exactly loose change, it’s very competitive for a chassis with this level of features about build quality.

Overview

Moving into a new market is a big deal for a company and I’m grateful that Rosewill as the latest to push their products here in the UK, as it doesn’t take long to see why they’re gaining popularity. The Rosewill Rise Glow is packed full of features that are sure to provide benefits to any system build, and while it does cost around £90, the sheer value on offer can not be understated.It certainly looks like a

It certainly looks like a premium grade chassis, easily good-looking enough to contend with offerings from Fractal Design, Corsair, NZXT, to name but a few, and it’s got the build quality to match that too. On the interior, you’ll find it’s incredibly capable, with clearance for the biggest graphics cards on the market, E-ATX motherboards, robust water cooling support, dual ATX PSUs, and a good amount of storage bays, which is more than most people need for their builds. Cooling support is robust right out of the box too, with four good quality fans pre-installed, meaning you can get your air cooling game on right away although it certainly isn’t lacking in water cooling capabilities either thanks to the removable hard drive bays and plentiful 120/140mm mounts.

It’s very easy to achieve a clean-looking build with the Rise, as there’s a wide selection of routing grommets and cut-outs and they’re all very well placed, with a second set added to help with E-ATX motherboards, as a board that size will easily overlay some of the grommets, so it’s nice that they thought that through. Behind the motherboard, there is plenty of space for excess cables, and there is even a powered fan hub and speed controller, meaning you’ll have less cables running to your motherboard, meaning a much cleaner build yet again.

“If you’re looking for a capable, easy to work with and nicely designed mid-tower for a high-end gaming build or workstation, you’ll find a lot to love about the Rise, or the LED fan equipped Rise Glow.”
