This review is from: Thermaltake V3 Black Edition VL80001W2Z No PS Mid Tower Gaming Case (Black) (Personal Computers)
On an extensive search for a suitable and not so flashy gaming mid atx case, this won me over. I purchased this case for $39.99 with free shipping so it was a deal off the bat. It’s smaller than my other cases but everything fit perfectly snug with room for CrossFire/SLI.
Pros: Great simple look. Four(4) expansion slots for DVD/CD/Blu-ray drives. Mesh drive bay covers Small window view of the CPU Expansion(3) slots for up to 120mm fans. Fairly quiet 120mm rear output fan. Bottom loaded Power Supply.
Cons: Only (2) front USB 2.0 Front headphone input jack has a hissing noise. Only included (3) tool less mounts, each for DVD/CD/bluray drive, floppy, and Hard Drive. Does not include screws for case fans. *easy fix (Home Depot has “Pan Head Phillips” #10×1/2″ (9) for $0.65). Front intake fan makes a lot of noise(could be just the fan I purchased and installed) May have an issue if an over sized CPU cooler is installed.
Overall I’m not disappointed. It was easy to install the internal parts with the provided screws. I took my time and finished in approximately two hours.

This review is from: Thermaltake V3 Black Edition VL80001W2Z No PS Mid Tower Gaming Case (Black) (Personal Computers)
I love this case. It is strong and efficient. It has really fantastic air flow. I would suggest buying an extra fan or two and populating the fan spaces. The air flow goes in at the back bottom where the power supply pushes air in. Then it goes out the top. But where this case really shines is when you put a Corsair H50 water cooler in. For about 80 bucks, you get a water cooler that is extraordinarily efficient. Set it up to blow air in from the back through the radiator, and in at the power supply, and up out the two top fan grills. Your CPU will never be cooler. And you will never hear the fans, unless you have superman ears.

very good,
very good for breathing internal parts. Face was the most trickiest part to remove to prevent it from breaking as a beginner.
