Thermaltake V3 Black Edition VL80001W2Z Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window

Comment:
Great gaming case, great for cooling and fan capability. Odd thing is the dual fan slots on the top of case, based on its make, it will only allow you to use both for certain motherboards, but never the less, lots of room for other fans. Price is great.

I love the bottom power supply placement of this case as well as the quick locks. I however am disappointed that they only include one hard drive lock and one cd drive lock. Airflow is great and filtered. For the price, under 60 bucks, this system is a great buy.

I love this case. So easy to work with and so quiet!

Good case for the price and the included blue LED fan looks nice as well.

I have serveral things to comment on about this case. I will try to keep this simple. Value: Great price for the case Features: Good Features, however the Case came with 1 Quick Release for each type of slot, instead of coming with a Quick Release for each slot offered. (rest were just screws) Also My Asus MBWas 1 - 2 MM to big for this cases chasy so it took some stretching and prying. The case was also a bit to small to properly fit my HEAT SINK IN (Ruby Red by thermal take) Quality: Fantastic, Durable, however seems to be 1 - 2 mm to small to fit the standard utilized by so many others! Performance: Amazingly Silent running, The LED's are not Blinding Bright! The USB slots on the front and the panel are very nice.

This is a surprisingly spacious mid tower. I currently have it filled with 6 120mm fans and a Corsair H50 water cooling system for the CPU. It is designed quite well. My only complaint is that the sheet metal is thinner than I'm used to. It's well constructed, but the metal flexes and even bends at only moderate pressure. It's overall quality and attractive looks more than make up for it's shortcomings.

I like the openness of the case and the LED fan lights up my room at night :). I dislike the power PSU on the bottum. other then that nice case.

I built my most recent computer with this case. The case is great, plenty of room for gear inside, easy access to components. Power supply goes on the bottom of the case. I had planned to install 2 Thermaltake ISGC 120 MM Hydro Dynamic Bearing Fans in the top of the case, though they would look and function great in drawing the heat out, but there is not enough clearance between the fan and my MOBO. I have a GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H motherboard installed. A thinner profile fan might work. The case is very well ventilated even without the fans on top. Overall a great case, good price and looks sharp.

A great value for the money.

I had never tried any Thermaltake products before but I am very impressed with the interior layout for cooling and routing of cables. Best layout I have seen. It is very light metal stampiing but seems very adequate for strength. Would definately buy again.

Comment:
components in this case should not overheat. with the fan and all intakes you should not worry. caveat: not reccomended for arreas that could be dusty

Comment:
As stated in previous post, very easy to add fans. The ftont inserts that have to be removed to install DVD drives, etc. are not the easiest to remove and have sharp edges. Overall a very nice case.

Comment:
Not my first choice, but now that I have it I made the right choice. Inexpensive. I have 2 more 120mm fans installed. I am using it for media center pc. It has the looks and the room inside.

Comment:
Case worked out well. Once I added extra fans the air flow is great. Only thing is it gets a bit cramped. I had to return my original heatsink because it would not fit, and it was even a Thermaltake heatsink!!! I added the fan in front and one on top. I wanted 2 on top but could not fit the second. But in all reality, you can't beat what you get for this price.

Great ATX case, the only problem we had was installing the top case fans, with the Asus M4A785-M Motherboard. We could not install the top fans, and need to buy slim case fans seeing the cpu fan blocked access as well as the clip ins for the memory. So if you buy this case with this board be careful to get at least two slim case fans. The case will come with one fan installed, and supports 4. I would recommend it to anyone building there own system.

keeps my I5 750 (overclocked to 4.1ghz) cool. and only being air cooled.

Comment:
I hate when I read reviews about these bottom PSU cases and a lot of people say PSU is on the bottom so the heat is exited downward, not into the tower itself. PSU's have never EVER exhausted into the case!!! They usually intake from the case and ALLWAYS exhaust out the back. The Bottom PSU placement can be a problem for some who place their tower on the floor and have carpet or don't sweep everyday. This Case seems great for the price. I hope it is awesome when it arrives at my door.

This is a very nice case. Was weird once i saw all the vents at first, but it was designed very well for heat control. PSU is on the bottom, which is really nice. Don't hear the fan from the PSU and the heat is exited downward, not into the tower itself. The system fan for this is amazing. 17dbz, so quiet and the blue LED with the vents make the computer look amazing inside. Vents on the top, so you want to make sure this tower goes under a table of some kind. Don't want to accidently spill water on it. only problem is that it only comes with one system fan. you have to buy other ones if you want to utilize its full potential. But if you live in a cool place, just one fan on the bottom is really needed. Amazing design. Looked up other fans on this site, and thermatake is the quiestest one, and the Blue LED makes it very sexy. Shizzle!!

Comment:
At this price, you'd be hard pressed to find a better case. I wish it would've came eqqiped with more than one 120mm fan. However, this is just a small complaint.

Comment:
Lots of space, like the single fastener system for drives (except they need to provide MORE of them), and pleasant aesthetics. The front panel is a bit wonky for installing optical drives, though.

Comment:
Lots of cooling options, not too gaudy and HOLY FAST SHIPPING BATMAN!. From mouse click to doorstep in 21.5 hours.

Comment:
good case for small mobo. btm mount psu works great with a small mobo i could see problems with a full featured board . pros price ease of use easy install of hard drives ect. great air flow cons only one fastener of each type cd, hd, and floppy. and dosent hold them solid. no room for many pci dev or gpu

Comment:
Great Case! First build, no issues that others have stated. Everything fits perfectly, nothing dificult to install and plenty of room and reach for cables (no issue with cables being tight across mobo). Nice clean look. I gave quality a 4 just cause metal is thinner than more expensive cases, but that was expected. Great buy (only $35! but still worth the $50).

Comment:
The placement of the PS at the bottom of the case presents a slight problem for my MB. The 4 pin, 12V CPU power leads just barely stretch to the MB connector. The leads pass tightly over the 3 perifheral expansion slots. You will have to splice in an extension to these power leads if you want to use any of these expansion slots.

This case gets perfect airflow and there is plenty of room. Plus it fits both ATX and Micro ATX form factors. F panel config is easy to set up.
