Thermaltake's V9 is a solid, elegant case that combines style, function and performance. Part of the V9 series of mid-tower cases, it has plenty of room for expansion and tons of potential for modders. It holds up to four external 5.25" drives, two external 3.5" and five internal 3.5" drives – easily installed without tools.
Install up to 7 expansion cards as well – again without tools. Most standard ATX boards will install effortlessly thanks to standoffs built into the motherboard tray. The entire case is cooled by a pair of silent, blue LED 120mm fans which draw air through the metal grille front bezel and out through the rear of the case. Plus, huge dual 230mm fans are installed on the side panel and top to provide increased air flow.
A pair of easily-accessible USB 2.0 ports are located at the top of the front plate, along with HD audio input and output jacks. If additional cooling is needed, the case can also take a liquid cooling system.

Feels right.
- Pros: Sturdy metal case, airflow is intuitive, tool less design is nice. Button in the picture looked a bit iffy but it looks great now that its here.
- Cons: There was a tiny, dead, presumably chinese spider inside the case, that I thought was simply lint until further inspection. To the arachnaphobic: I sincerely doubt this will happen again.
- Other Thoughts: Get a PSU that has fans on the front and back, not top and bottom. If you do get one with fans top and bottom, there is a dust filter in place so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Top and back fans blow OUT, front and side suck IN.
Both sides come off but the right has a large sheet of metal covering most of it as soon as its off, making it somewhat useless.
Not much point to an all black inside without the clear side windows, but I'm not a big fan of clear side windows. Its not like this case needs any more big fans as it is anyway.
Nice case
- Pros: Nice Case, Good wire management, Bottom mount PSU placement, plenty of fans, plenty of dust filters, well designed, is quieter and cooler than the Lian Li case it replaced,
- Cons: No removable motherboard tray, had to make a modification to get my Thermaltake Cupholder to work with this case. (Yes an actual cup holder), no window to appreciate the black powdercoated interior.
- Other Thoughts: The toolless case design works perfectly with drives, but things like my cup holder that have a mounting style similar to a front panel thermometer because there are no proper screw mounts on the back side of the case. Oherwise I have to disagree with the comments saying that the toolless mounting system needs reinforcement from the available screw mounting my drives are firmly planted by the screwless mounting system. The mounting system may feel cheapish before you have a drive in it, but honestly once your drive is mounted it's not going anywhere. Despite the elaboration on the negative couple minor negative points I still don't think it's worth deducting an egg as I'm actually more happy with this case than I was with my older Lian Li case. May post a video review in the near future.

lessons learned
- Pros: It's Black and Has two big fans. Thats All I got.
- Cons: First off screwless maybe if you don't think your drives need to be secured. The Tabs bow out to easy and fall apart or break before installing them. I just used them to make it look nice. It has a filter under Power Supply that don't think you can get out without removing power supply which don't matter cause the large fan on the side (which pulls air in) don't have filter. So why use the one under power supply. The tabs to lock your cards in, break way to easy. Hint Pull up on the spot where the dot slides under. Find that after breaking them off. On the hard drive carriage. The drive go in backwards for cable managment so you must remove other side to wire. No eggs lost there just info But you got about 3/8" to run cables to the Motherboard and the case fans plugs need to have angle plugs if using them in this area.
- Other Thoughts: I gave away better cases then this one. Maybe thats why tt's B-stock has so many.
Good could be perfect.
- Pros: Good looking, light and lots of fans.
- Cons: Top fan not installed properly, had to turn it off until I can mess with it, making a ton of noise. The screwless plastic thingys broke when trying to install my vid card. Had to use screws.
- Other Thoughts: One small thing, the fans in the case light up red yet the power button is blue. Should have kept it all one color.
Still like the case though, a good buy.
Only bought because of the Price
- Pros: Nice looking case, like the USB,mic/headphone ports on the top of the game. Great air flow, if you are SLId, this is probably the case for you to reduce heat inside the case. It comes with 4 fans to draw the heat out.
- Cons: The 4 fans are always on, there is no way to plug the fans in so they are monitored by the mobo, you would have to buy new fans...which is a waste.
- Other Thoughts: Would only buy onsale.
