We tested the Hive 550W a short while ago, and now Rosewill is following up with their Capstone series, which should be more efficient (80 Plus Gold certification). In this article we will see if the quality of this power supply can match the flawlessness of brands like Seasonic. The Capstone 450W and 650W are little different internally compared to the Hive models. All of the Capstone power supplies are targeted at the high-end market, so our expectations are quite high for this product.

The Capstone series has the goal of delivering performance, quality, and high efficiency; simply put, it's the best solution Rosewill can provide at the moment. The previous tested PSU was made by Sirtec (High Power), but the new models come from a different manufacturer. On the following pages we will show who built these PSUs. Read on to find out how it compares to other offerings.

Rosewill sent us their newest model Hive with 550W. The rated power makes these models good for most common GPUs as well as powerful CPUs. Features such as 80 Plus Bronze certification and modular cables are quite common these days, but such characteristics say little about how good a PSU really is. What about the internal design and components for example? Who built this PSU? On the following pages we will meet an old acquaintance with a new look and see if it's capable of keeping pace with the times.

As enthusiasts and professionals we spend a lot of time checking out what's under the hood of the computers and devices we use, but thankfully more and more we're paying attention to how we actually interact with hardware, what the user experience is like. User experience has been a major selling point of Apple's products, but there's one place where even Apple has been a bit neglectful: the keyboard. On notebooks your options are limited, but on the desktop you have access to mechanical keyboards. Today we'll take a quick look at Rosewill's RK-9000 mechanical keyboard and see if it's worth the price premium.

When you start dipping well below an MSRP of $99 for an enclosure, you'll see manufacturers having to make compromises in the design and build quality in order to keep the price down. That's not unusual, and it gives the opportunity for smart engineering to come to the forefront in a bid to maximize value at minimal expense. We've seen a lot of exciting cases at $99 and in that neighborhood, but Rosewill's Ranger can be had for just $69.99, putting it in direct competition with crowd favorites like Bitfenix's Shinobi. Rosewill offered superior value with their full-sized Thor v2; can they repeat that success at half the cost?

Most enthusiasts are familiar with Rosewill as a brand of inexpensive parts of decent quality. They've had enclosures on the market for ages, but those cases are almost always for budget builds. But today we have something that you may not be prepared for: an enthusiast-class full tower enclosure, competitively priced but clearly not for just any build. Rosewill's beast is able to support the largest of ATX motherboards and can handle quad-SLI and quad-Crossfire rigs with room to spare. In a market of SilverStones, Antecs, Corsairs, and Lian Lis, should you be giving Rosewill another look?
