Rosewill Cullinan EATX Mid-Tower Gaming Case Review

[Crashman]

Rosewill proves it’s possible to fit big cooling and big motherboards into a mid-sized case, and even classes it up a little with tempered glass panels. We check out its details before comparing its performance to two strategically matched competitors.

They straight up store this design from Phanteks' line. If your going to copy, do it right. Good job Phanteks.

Wait, I thought this was something Thermaltake stole from Fractal Design?

It's so hard to keep up.

I have to agree with THDEUSD, this looks just like the Define S from Fractal Design.

So im supposed to believe that only eATX cases can support triple 140mm fans in the front?

 

[turkey3_scratch]

All the cases look so similar.

 

[sillynilly]

Yawn - cool another black rectangle! So exciting!!

 

[JakeWearingKhakis]

At least it doesn't look like another transformer. I like the cases like this that are classy and minimalistic on the outside.

Wow, way to rip off the Rolls Royce brand. Cullinan is the name of their new SUV.

Rosewill, Rolls Royce. I see what you did there.

By the way, this looks identical to my Fractal Design R5.

Did anyone every say that?
First of all, this is a mid-tower, and the height of a tower dictates how many fans a case designer can stack on the front.
Second of all, EATX is a depth, not a height. Since the added motherboard mounting depth was achieved by not placing any drive bays in front of the motherboard, this EATX mid-tower is no larger than most ATX mid-towers.

My question was not directed to anyone in particular, it was sarcastic question with no target.

Im aware this is a midtower, im aware what EATX is and that it means a deeper not a taller

The real purpose to my sarcastic post was a simple question of how are there other cases on the market with similar dimensions that are standard ATX but they only offer dual 140 or triple 120 fans in the front when they have more than enough room to accommodate triple 140. But here we are with an eATX case where they offer triple 140.

Here you go, an ATX mid tower with the fan mounts you seek:

Notice that the only reason it's not EATX is because the step in the motherboard tray is too close to the motherboard to fit a 13"-deep board. If we treat EATX labeling as a marketing ploy, Rosewill's marketing wins

Well, looks like more Rosewill rebadging. The Cullinan is just a rebadged Anidees AI-Crystal. Science Studio and Linus Tech Tips both recently reviewed it (the anidees version that is). Neat case though.

 

[envy14tpe]

Clearly case manufacturers have run out of ideas...
Design Team: Any ideas? Nope. So, lets just copy Fractal's Design...good idea.

 

[Nintendork]

The thermaltake suppressor f51 is the better choice, you get that nice door, noise insulation and 5.25" bays.

 

[PureBlackFire]

this is identical to the Anidees Al Crystal is it not?

 

[Anathemata]

My first impression was, "Lian-Li asked Fractal design to design an Antec case for In-Win."

 

[sykozis]

this is identical to the Anidees Al Crystal is it not?

The main structure appears to be identical, yes. Reviews on Newegg for the Anidees Al Crystal seem to list very similar cons to those of the article author.

All you guys that talk about copying fractal designs. Are you not aware they ALL got their same designs off of jonsbo? All of these designs are based off the QT03 then the specific manufacture made slight changes and rebranded it. Not rocket science, even fractal designs essentially copied their design so don't be hypocrites. #learnsomethingeveryday
