I have purchased just a couple weeks ago a Rosewill R604-P SL, I am using this case in a budget build that will soon become my moms computer. A very good case for the money from what I've seen so far.
One thing that I will say as many others have said in newegg reviews; These cases come with screwless plastic parts for drive installation which are absolutely junk. You will definetely want to remove these before installing any drives and use standard screws. Another thing you will want to be aware of is that this case comes with a piece on this inside of the left side panel that you are supposed to be able to pull down directly your HSF on CPU and pull in cold clean air ( it has a filter ). This is also junk and should be removed, or just not used. May work out better for someone else but it did not even line up right with mine.
I do like the two top front 5.25 bay drive bezels that are included though, as these are the type that your cd/dvd rom just mounts behind and flip down to let your drive open when you press the button. This is the main reason I am going to remove the screwless mounting hardware, as there is no adjustment and the fit is too tight with the screwless mount so the button is depressed by the force.
I have already mounting my motherboard, which was easy and straight forward enough, but I will be taking some pictures of all of this in the next couple days. I am waiting for my graphics card for this build to come in the mail. Specs on final build will be as follows.
AMD Athlon x2 3600+ Brisbane
Biostar TForce 550 SE
2x1GB Crucial Ballistix 800
x800 gto2 modded to x850xt pe
200GB Maxter Diamondmax 10 hdd w/ 16MB Cache
Pioneer DVD-RW 8x
Modded Antec NeoPower 480 Watt PSU
