Thermaltake presents a case capable of giving you the power of a desktop with the transportability of a laptop. The handle on this case is not just for show. It will take the weight of your system without worry. The VF1000BWS comes with a 5.25" and a 3.5" external drive bays. To give you plenty of storage, there is also two 3.5" internal drive bays. But what sets it apart is the 7" external drive bay for the express use of an integrated monitor that could be converted to a second 5.25" drive bay if you prefer. Putting this system together is a breeze. Both the external and internal drive bay cages are removable for easy installation. The Motherboard tray slides out the back for simple installation of both the Micro ATX motherboard and the PCI cards.
Lastly, the top comes up for those little adjustments that are inevitable after the initial build. The entire case is made of lightweight aluminum to keep carrying the case from becoming a burden. So never worry again about how you'll get your system to the LAN party, worry about your friends wanting to take it from you.

Pros: The best best MicroATX case out there, barring the Fragbox and QMicra (of course, they're far more expensive).
Plenty of room for an 8800 GTX if you remove the hard drive cage (one screw and it's out).
Wonderful build quality (heavy), and the modular design makes things so very easy to work on.
Accepts full-sized PSU's, but you're definitely going to want to get a modular one (like the Kingwins)
Cons: The thermal performance could be better. It's not bad, but I'd argue that the Microfly might have slightly better peformance in this area.
Wish the CPU was directly below the PSU (make sure you get one with a fan on the bottom).
Other Thoughts: Make sure you buy an extra 60mm fan, and mount it in the available opening, which is adjacent to the PSU. The manual itself mentions this, and, believe me, it makes all the difference in the world.

Great Case

Pros: Excellent fit & finish, superior construction but it breaks down easily to make installation a snap. All drive cages, mobo tray, and PSU brackets come out quickly to install components. Easily portable with very large handle on top.
Cons: Optical drive cover plate for stealth installation of drives (Good). But covers are black plastic (Less than Good).
Other Thoughts: Build quality compares favorably to Lian Li and Silverstone cube cases which I also own. Expensive, yes. But the attention to detail and the excellent design of this case make it worth the money.

Pros: Nice beautiful design, i came to the conclusion that if you plan to build a very high end MicroATX system as Corei7 and a dual 5850 or a 5870 with X-fi, something worth buying a huge-ish computer case... and being on the move... this is your case
Cons: if youre planning a small or integrated vga , go and check the slim microatx cases which are much much smaller and nicer for a slim minded cpu, like the APEX which i have used for other builds
Other Thoughts: Modular power supply is a must otherwise you are in for a fight... i fitted a 4870 no prob but a hard drive frame kind of wants to get in my way so keep in mind your video cards length

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: SFF. P&P.
Fits my Sapphire 5970, had to slide over the internal 3 1/2 drive bay.
Crossfire compatability - Will fit another 5970, have to do some minor modifacations to the external 3 1/2 drive bay. Will be able to when the time comes, case shall be prep'd & ready 2 go & go))))
Koolance Water Cooling - Will fit a Koolance 5 1/4 or external cooling system with cooling blocks with minor mods if any.
It will allow 2 5970's to crossfire, with a little work however:{.... Now we go to cons
Cons: No cons at all.
Seriously, I knew what I was getting myself into before I made my decision. My only worry was from other comments, it sounded like there was major mods that had to be done.
Depending on which slot you need for beastly video cards...you either have to move the internal 3 1/2 drive bay over, or do some light metal work with the external 3 1/2 drive bay, or you'll probably have to do both as in my case because I'd like to have the option of crossfiring another 5970.... Now we go to other thoughts
Other Thoughts: First high-end build ever & wanting to do more. Know what your getting yourself into when starting a build. I've been planning for a couple of years in my near 34yr life and put my orders in over the past week. I've had a couple of surprises that Newegg has been helpful with, mostly due to their comments from previous customers, I've had a lot of resources to pull from to help me along the way, I'm not kidding, I didn't have to search the internet, only time was to get detailed info concerning chipsets mostly for amd/ati on wikipedia, which is another great source for info as well.

Pros: In a moment of insanity I decided to build a pretty high end gaming system in a portable case, and I couldnt have picked a better case. My system is as powerful as I would want a gaming computer to be at the moment, and it still never runs hot. (see specs at other thoughts). All games run max settings in dx11, and cpu turbo boosts to 3.6ghz per core...still no heat issues. Very sturdy, very good air flow. Fully modular.
Cons: Bottom optical drive door was broken at one end, but luckily the case came with a mount to place an optical drive in the top drive bay.
Other Thoughts: General Specs: Intel i-7 860 2.8ghz quad Sapphire Radeon hd5850 4gb ddr3 1600- G.Skill Ripjaws 500gb WD Blue hdd Gigabyte p55 mobo 730w Raidmax psu

Aluminum Handle This all-aluminum handle is manufactured using the die cast process for added strength and durability. The ergonomic design ensures a most comfortable grip so you can carry your PC to tournaments and just about anywhere else you want to go..
Usable Expandability with 5 Drive Bays The Thermaltake VF1000BWS features one external 7" drive bay (can be converted to a 5.25" drive bay), one external 5.25" drive bay, one external and two internal 3.5" drive bays for a usable level of expandability.
Efficient Ventilation With one front 90mm silent intake fan, two 60mm rear exhaust fans, an extra 60mm rear fan mount, a ventilation hole on the top and PCI brackets as well as aerodynamically-designed ventilation holes for high-end graphic card cooling, the Thermaltake VF1000BWS delivers unparalleled cooling performance for MicroATX systems.
Great for NVIDIA SLI Applications With the chassis' highly-efficient ventilation, build a powerful gaming box using NVIDIA SLI technology and still enjoy all the benefits of a small form factor ststem!.
Easy Installation This fully modular chassis features components that can be removed from the body for easier installation. Everything from the motherboard tray to the 5.25" drive cage is removed with just a few twists of the thumb screws.
Convenient Front I/O Panel The Thermaltake VF1000BWS' front I/O panel enables remarkably convenient access to two USB 2.0 ports, one IEEE 1394 port and two audio ports.
