Rosewill decided to offer something to those few customers that really want to go all the way to, and then over, the top when building their personal computers.

The product it created is rather aptly named Blackhawk-Ultra and features the Super Tower form factor.

There was a time when tower cases were the biggest and baddest in the field, but not anymore.

Super Towers actually have enough room on the inside that they can house not just mini ITX, micro ATX and ATX motherboards, but also E-ATX and XL-ATX, plus the truly huge HPTX platforms.

To make an accurate image, the Rosewill Blackhawk-Ultra measures 240 x 635 x 660 mm, or 9.44 x 25 x 26 (25.98) inches.

It is a testament to the sheer volume that all the hardware users could think to place inside can, or at least should, coexist with no less than eight fans.

Two spinners with a diameter of 140 inches are at the front, sporting red LEDs, while the space behind the HDD trays has just as many 140mm models (LED-less).

Additionally, the back of the chassis holds a fifth 140 mm model, while the side panel and the top of the chassis hold one and two 230 mm fans, respectively (the top ones have red LEDs too).

That said, Rosewill did not forget to take into account the fact that enthusiasts can, at any moment, decide they want even better cooling.

As such, there are pre-drilled watercooling holes at the back, not one or two, but a full set of seven.

As for everything else, four exposed 5.25-inch drive bays exist, along with ten internal 3.5-inch bays (for HDDs and SSDs).

Last but not least, the top-mounted I/O panel has two USB 2.0 connectors and just as many USB 3.0 ports, along with audio and mic jacks.

Go here to check out everything there is to know on this beast or start browsing through online stores, like Newegg, where the price is of $219.99 (160.26 Euro).
