Thermaltake VH8000BWS Armor+ MX ATX Mid-Tower Case - 230mm Fan

Comment:
Looks sexy with my PS3 subsequent to it, I appreciate the clear side panel so I can inspect dust on my mobo on a weekly basis. The case stays cool so I would picture you wouldn't want extra fans/cooling technique unless you're running numerous graphics cards. I also like the eSata, usb and sound ports situated on the top front of the case. the cage for the hd's is nice, but the cables tend to crammed in there, occasionally causing my mobo not to read my hd's. I've had this for over a year and I still love it.

Really good looking case, the pictures don't do it justice.Spacious; It fit my Radeon 4890 just fine. There are several parts of the case which are made of a flimsy plastic material. Specifically the front and best. The whole front of it can be torn off somewhat effortlessly, and since this is a heavy case, makes carrying it somewhat complicated. Other than the low-cost plastic on the front and top, this is a good case.

This is a good seeking case that is nicely ventilated. I have the full tower Armor case as well and it is considerably additional sturdy. This case is fragile! I purchased my case from ibuypower and the front panel of the case was damaged when it arrived. I known as ibuypower and they replaced it. However, 1 of the front hinges broke soon afterward. I also noticed the leading of the case exactly where it says "Not a Handle" is broken. This case is poorly created in the sense that when you have it completely loaded and it's heavy, there is nothing on the case that makes it effortless to manage. They ought to have produced that piece that says "Not a deal with" a handle! Then at least you would have a thing to grab a hold of. If you have a heavy rig then I don't advise this case. It will get damaged just from handling it. I wish Thermaltake would have a spare parts section on their website to order spare parts for their cases.

So quite a few things, layout ,storage compartment,leading ports,made of top quality materials,and all around excellent case. I received my case right now in mail, the bottom bezel latch was broke allowing the face plate to fall of.. Which worked out in my favor. *read other thoughts Because the one clip was broke and thermaltake could not send me a replacement the good folks at new egg gave me a ฤ credit. Therefore following rebates and free shipping this case was ๟. Excellent consumer service,and with a little JB weld My case is fixed!!

This was my initially house built rig and I'm really glad i got this case. For starter not becoming as familiar exactly how huge video cards or how massive a mid or full tower case really is. you can only get so significantly of a fell by seeking at the images. but when this came I was blown away by how major it was. it was at least 2 times larger then our dell dimension downstairs. I couldn't even envision the scale of the full tower version of this case. This case fit every little thing i got. My gtx 275 just barely made it in and there was a lot of clearance for my zalman 9900 cooler. Stock fans were really and moved rather a bit of air. I love the leds and the clear side was a good touch. even though the cable management isn't amazing it undoubtedly helped me vastly reduced the clutter of my non-modular psu I only have a few niches with case. The first that kinda bothered me was the truth that there was no extra drilled holes for extra fans. the leading of case has holes for ventilation but no holes to possibly add a fan. I can see how 1 of the enormous 1000watt or 1200watt psu would cover this location. but I have a corsair 850tx and i would have had run to screw it in. Yet another place would have been front panel in some of the unused drive bays. i'm confident it wouldn't have expense the manufactures far more then a couple of cents to drive holes in the lower drive bay covers to mount an additional fan. I very doubt most folks use any far more then two of these bays unless they have a bay mounted radiator. this is so considerably a con as a note. if you're planning on acquiring one of the dual chip gpu's don't get this case. it was close with 275 but a 9800gtx2 or a gtx 295 or a radeon 4870X2 would just be too major I appreciate this case. and got ever pennies worth of my cash. Good ventilation and looks great

Really good love the appear. The case is huge and quite heavy witch I like. Nicely worth the funds overall a good case. Fan runs a bit loud no challenge although. The 3pin power LED wouldn't connect to my MB so I cut it and half and connected it as a 2pin. I would suggest getting good and sturdy and solid.

Awesome airflow, looks definitely good with side LED, front 1 is also a good touch. overall for the cost it is a very good deal. It IS a huge case, and heavy solid really feel. Side fan is Large and did I mention good LED's? Certainly will impress any individual with or with out pc savvy expertise. I extremely suggest this, ohh yeah, also has uncomplicated bay slots, so just slide in DVD burner/HDD and no need to have for screws due to the fact the plastic clips make it really straightforward, it is a Major case. Extremely recommend. Some may possibly uncover its heaviness a con, but I don't, to me it's a plus. Also has alot of expansion slots, effortless to get rid of, and easy to fully grasp case, loving the side fan ;)

The 3 fans that come stock with the case is good. The motherboard compartment offers sufficient room for most most likely anything that you wish to put in it. The "screw-much less" features are neat as soon as you get employed to them (You can still use screws if you wish to, but it's not needed.) The top panel is nice and hassle-free if you need to want fast access to a USB or E-Sata port. The faceplate and all "screw-much less" parts are plastic. The expansion bay covers are as effectively, and as I identified this can be most hard when wanting a thing to hold in location. The "screw-less" parts held just fine as soon as they had been in location nevertheless the bay covers would quickly fall out.A different problem was the entire faceplate was not totally connected when I received the case. I had to finish assembling it. It took longer than what I would have liked to put into it, but in carrying out so a barrier clip for the front "wings" was broken. The slips that hold these "wings" in location were challenging to deal with. Lastly, the HDD compartment seemed a bit tedious and in the way, specifically when it came to connecting the sata cables and the energy cables to my two video cards. The cables of the whole machine also had to be packed into the space that wasn't becoming employed in the expansion bay slots. Overall, it's a decent case. If I had to build one more machine, I would most likely stick with this 1 as I know all of it's quirks and nuances. It received a 4Ǜ mainly because of it's cons.

Looks nice I had to RMA the front USB/Audio jack/ESATA Would not work. The rapid release clips for the PCI cards is good but how they are developed they all break genuinely effortless. I had to take them all out. SpecsMobo= ASROCK A780GXE렘M BIOS 1.3CPU= AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black edition three. GHz OC three.6 GHzMem= G.

-Looks sweet-Keeps everything cool-Removable trays-Screwless and clip-on designs The tray that the difficult drives go into face away towards the side opposite of the clear panel. The removable challenging drive tray is cool, I'll admit, but it doesn't do considerably to support with the wiring situation. Since the cable ports are on the opposite side, it is a tight squeeze to connect the hdd to the mobo and the energy provide cable. Then again, I was working with a thick eide cable. It might be a lot less complicated if you're making use of a sata tough drive.

Really heavy, durable case. Plenty of room for drives.Cool tooless design (not great)Excellent airflowLooks sick Best piece is pretty much entirely plastic, which looks inexpensive subsequent to the rest of the frame.Tooless drive design doesn't appear to be the most secure, I suggest employing at least a couple screws in conjunction with the tooless bays. (You don't have to use the tooless design if you don't want to!)A couple of the plastic pieces are fairly flimsy, and you have to be careful not to break/distort them.The inside of the case *barely* fits my 5850. All those cons are things i've read in other critiques, and discovered to be accurate after recieving the case. I am getting a bit nitpicky, it is a wonderful case, but this is also a bit much more expensive then other towers out there so I believe that is only appropriate.I also read some reviews saying that the side fan is actually loud. I didn't discover this to be the case, in reality it is quieter then my now-retired antec 900 case.If you card is even a couple mm longer then my 5850, it won't fit without having taking out/moving the hdd bay. I am crushing cables proper now in order to get it to fit...If this tower were just a bit more affordable, it would have gotten a full 5 eggs. (Not basing my rating on price, just saying a tower had been you pay that small additional really should not be... inexpensive in locations.)

Good cooling. Heavy and solid case. Drive bays prone to breaking if you open them too far. Front 'flaps' totally useless and the plastic stoppers on them will break.Have had trouble with heavy static in front headphone jack. USB jacks in front also have given trouble.Rear fan has been sticky on low RPM. Okay case, but most likely not worth the cost.

Extremely great looks. Brushed aluminum is good. A lot of room to function. Good rails. I like the difficult drive support bay. The fans are quiet. Quality built piece of hardware. I would buy again. Fans are quiet and don't appear to push significantly air. So the technique I built tends to be a bit warm. Put in an MSI 790FX Board with a three.0Ghz Athlon X2. Ran around 50*C on load.

good case not pleased 1 the plastic clips that holds the front frame on was broken off i found it in the case. (not new egg or ups fault) this was completed by manufacturer. it can not be glued the complete front plastic would want to be replaced. if you touch or have to move case you truly have to be carefull or the complete left side of the front piece will come off. i seen this has occurred to a couple of other people today as properly. Manufacturer Response:Dear Consumer,We at Thermaltake apologize for the inconvenience this could have triggered you. Please contact ttsupport@thermaltakeusa.com for warranty details.

LOTS OF ROOM! Operating 2x BFG 260's in SLI and they FIT! No craming cables! There is a "HOT SWAP LIKE" HD cage. This holds 4 HD in their own supplied trays. LOTS AND LOTS OF ROOM! NONE! I have built quite a few gaming rigs and have had situations come and go, but this case will be my PERMINANT Resolution!

Comment:
Quite Solidly built, has a decent style and seems to be well ventilated for what I've been utilizing it for. Excellent solid airflow and comparatively quiet.The front panels for the drives eliminate simply and the drives themselves snap into a screw much less lock, making it basic and effective to remove and replace them. Slightly bigger than it would seem, which makes the reality that the challenging drive bays are difficult to wire appropriately rather strange. It's also slightly on the heavy side, but what do you expect for one thing with steel in it? All told, the case is fairly solid and for the price a great buy.

Where to start offɷ.Particularly Stunning...two.Fits practically all power supplies(for you 1600watt lovers, it can probaly fit in this case, I'm operating a 650 watt and theres enough space for 2 of them. 3. Too several drive bays , even though not a challenge.. you can add additional fans to the front drive bays, and installation of drives into them is effortlessŎ. Harddrives.... enough space for four to be swappable and at the same time cooled by the 120mm fan in front ..5. Insane amounts of space... I have a 4850 that fits snuggly(cmon its enormous) and I nonetheless have the harddrive bays (which are removable) in.6. Excellent airflow. My motherboard and video card both have idle temps at 30C and max load ive by no means noticed greater then 42C7. This case is extremely easy to work with. I took off the other side housing to couple all of my SATA and other wires neatly and out of sight. NONE!!!! only that the drive bays are a bit flimsy although they are ingenious so it wouldnt take away...AND use gloves or be cautious...There had been sharp parts inside but thats seriously deep inside the case.. and pretty much all circumstances have the same so just a common guideline..

It looks amazing it's big and have alot of space and the fans are good. Really like the tool much less design it just works great. It's a bit loud with the enormous side fan on. I was able to take it off and still maintain appropriate temp. a definite obtain.

Every thing works. Easy to install in with a lot of room. looks Great none Watch out! it is a massive one

There is nothing that I can complain about on this case. The set up for wiring is amazing!!! Will not see all that much if you in fact attempt to hide the wires. It even comes with zip ties. The tooless install is also Incredibly impressive. If your searching for a 1st construct case do not look any further...THIS IS IT!!! The fans are very quiet. Suprised by the 230mm fan on how quiet it was. Create top quality is extremely Quite very good. I have by no means noticed quality like this from Apevia or Raidmax. Not to mention Massive amounts of airflow through the case. I had an Apevia Telstar and this is a hell of a lot superior in all catagories. doesn't have a handle...kinda hard to lug around...but nonetheless undoubtedly worth it. I've built fairly a couple of computers and employed more affordable cases like Apevia and Raidmax. This is my initial mid ATX case that's more than a hundred bucks and I will in no way go back.

This case is a genuinely terrific case for a really terrific price! It has every thing that you would want. three fans, hot swappable hardrive bays, and lots of other terrific stuff. It even has holes for a water cooler. Really should have more cool lights.

Looks fantastic! Heads up a couple of points I located to be truly vital. This case can and does home a ATi 4870 X2 perfectly (have to move difficult drive cage first) Also this can and does fit a Accurate 120 perfectly with no getting to get rid of or modify the 230mm fan on the side panel! Cable management is decent unless you mod the case with a dremel. (which I did) Front drive bay covers are flimsy. Heavy, even though some may possibly locate to be a plus. If you can look past these minor flaws then it deserves five eggs!

Looks great, works great, and the HDD trays and the tool-no cost clips are fantastic feature! This is my initially time creating a computer from scratch...but it appears kinda tight with all the wires I recognize the accessory storage on best...just appears kinda large...and for alot of individuals..like me, its going to be pretty a lot useless

Comment:
Solid buld, simple to assembe To small room for interface cable for harddrive - space is incredibly limeted. I put Thermathake Power supply and SATA power connecters would break hardrive plastic connectors if case is forced t o close - has resorted to some junk connector which are much more flexible. The other issue is that my ABIT mb calls for SYSFAN to be connected. The case uses power for back fan from key supply. I had to drop my old fan on the bottom of the case just for the sake of having it in the loop. I would say that front panel may well have additional USB connectors and FireWire plug

Comment:
Fantastic case... has lots of room, and keeps my rig cool with the the 230 mm fan on the side.. I reccomend this case for those who are going to be ocing.. Not alot of room for cable managment, i was still in a position to accomplish the clean appear... but for the value you feel they would incorporate it..
