Test System

Assembly

Installing the motherboard is done with the usual means, by utilizing spacers and screws. Rosewill has attached a little door to the outside of the expansion slots to cover the gap there as the mounting screws for the GPUs are on the outside, which shows their attention to detail.


Adding a 3.5" drive is completely tool-less because of plastic drive trays that spread apart. Simply pull one apart, place the drive onto the tray, and squeeze it together. I have seen this tray in a few other cases in the past, and it is by far one of the best you can get.


Once filled, simply slide the unit back into one of the two spots until it snaps into place.


There are a total of three spots for SSDs. The first is the most obvious, consisting of the metal trays behind the motherboard tray. Simply detach one from the chassis, use the provided screws to secure the drive of your choice, and put it back into place.


The second option is the multi-purpose metal plate on top of the shroud. Here, simply screw the drive onto the plate and put that whole contraption back in its place. Just be sure to fill this spot first as GPUs and CPU coolers could get in the way of larger screwdrivers.


Lastly, you may add drives to the front of the shroud in the same manner. Simply attach them to one of the plastic covers and put that back into place. It should be noted that only two drives will fit at a time, which is still plenty as this brings the total number of possible 2.5" drives to six and the overall storage drive count to nine - more than enough for every scenario.


With everything in place, the Rosewill Cullinan MX makes an extremely clean impression on the interior. As you can see, I have moved the RGB controller to the top left of the chassis, which gives me more room to play with for cable routing.

Finished Looks

Once you turn the Rosewill Cullinan MX on for the first time, you are greeted by the rainbow color elements within the fans. A blue LED lights up the power button to let you know that the system is up and running, even if you choose to have the fan lighting off.


You can clearly see all the fans through the front glass cover, as it basically has no tint. Thanks to the numerous LEDs, the magnetic metal mesh dust filter won't be able to hide all those cool colors. In the rear and the sides, you can see more of the lighting elements. The four fans light the interior up as well, which will show all your hardware off nicely. On top of that, due to the heavier tint of the opposing side panel, all the routed cables are not as visible.


You may also take a peek inside the chassis through the top of the chassis, where you can clearly see the CPU cooler as well as the RGB elements of the ADATA memory.

Color Hues

You may control the RGB colors with the included remote. You may cycle through a standard set of colors on one hand, but have the total freedom to choose various hues, brightness levels, and modes on the other. Thanks to the detached RGB elements, reducing the fan speed with the built-in fan controller does not affect the brightness of the LEDs.
