Thermaltake V6 BlacX Edition Gaming Chassis Mid Tower Steel Computer Case BlacX Top Mounted HDD Docking Station VM100M1W2Z

Pros: For reference, I purchased this case elsewhere. The case has a nice overall design, and is put together well. The external hard drive bay is great, I use it all the time.

Cons: I didn't receive a fan in front of my hard drive bays. Both the back fan and top mounted fan died and had to be replaced. The drive bay is just awful for installing HDs and screwing them in. It's also a pain that it doesn't include native SSD support. The metal is also rather cheep and dents easily. I bumped it up against a wall once and then it got a giant dent in the side. I was able to get it out for the most part, but a slight bang shouldn't dent the whole side of the case.

Other Thoughts: I don't like it. I'll be buying a Cooler Master Storm Stryker or Storm Trooper next time.

Pros: Decent features, SATA dock is kinda nifty, though I haven't had any luck hot-swapping it. Relatively light, and lots of fan attachment points. Good airflow.

Cons: Hard drive cage is not tool-less. You need to screw hard drives into the cage, and the cage will lock into regular 5" bays. They're also oriented lengthwise, i.e. SATA ports facing your motherboard. So by default you lose one bay to a graphics card.

My brother has a cheaper case that's easier to work with.

Front facade isn't flush with the case. It has a slightly annoying pyramidal shape. If you put this near a doorway, people may accidentally kick the front off.

Would not buy again. Would rather go for a better-laid-out case that's geometrically simpler.

Other Thoughts: Power supply cable may not/barely reach CPU power plug on mobo.

Pros: Decent case for the money, has sufficient cooling options for a budget build, SATA dock is a bonus, paint job and fit are above average for this price range and it has nice understated look to it. Runs very quiet with 4 case fans + CPU cooler fan, moves a lot of air.

Cons: Top fan is not 200mm, more like 170mm, and very close to touching the MB, but works fine. Clearance may be an issue with some MBs, but large fan can be swapped for 2 120mm fans if needed. I don't think there's enough headroom for a radiator, though. Also the cable management is nominal (bread-ties included).

Other Thoughts: Asus P8Z68-V LX
i5-2500K
T'take V6 case
Corsair Veangeance 1600MHz 8gb (2x4gb)
OCZ ModXStream Pro 500 watt modular
Seagate Barracuda 500gb 7200rpm SATA2
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
fans - 200(actual size 170) x 1, 120 x 3
stock intel CPU cooler (for now)

Pros: This case has a lot of spce, lot's of air entrance and it's beautiful! It has a lot of bays for expansion and plenty of ventilation. The blue fan on the top is silent and I used the hard drive bay on top which works fine. You must only setup on your motherboard the "hot plug in" feature for the SATA connector you're using.

Cons: I gave four starts because of two things: the hard drive bay. It's really hard to install a hard drive. You need to take out ALL the front cover and then use a screwdriver to release the HD cage... Also, there has space for 3HDs only. Another point was the blue fan that on the beginning looks like it was stopping and I had to help with my finger to run. Now I believe it's fixed as the time passed and the bearings got on the position.

Other Thoughts: Despite the 2 issues, I'm really happy with this case.

Pros: Lots of space, clip in graphic card etc, lots of cooling.

Cons: It's hard to get the HDD tray out, and theres only 3 HDD slots.

Pros: One of the best you can buy, I have 2 and they are the best Computer Case made.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Buy one now.

Pros: good amount of space for my build. super quiet if it didnt have the blue fan i wouldnt even know it was on.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: another quality product from thermaltake

Pros: Nice features.

Cons: Top bay will only work with a 3.5 drive, no way to fit a CD/DVD drive, as the external drive connectors are in the way. Front USB 2.0? Why not 3.0?

Other Thoughts: Not bad for the price. Definite room for improvement, but not bad.

Pros: Plenty of space
Quiet
REALLY NICE power button
Plenty of room inside

Cons: VERY tight between motherboard and top fan, but it wasn't a problem
Covers on the bays were hard to take off
Not much room for cables in the back, beind panel

Other Thoughts: Nothing was bad enough to take off an egg, but something Thermaltake could rethink on their next design.

Pros: The docking station is great! Plugs right into a free sata port on your motherboard. Tooless is very nice to have. This case has plenty of ventilation. Attractive power and HHD lights.

Cons: For the price it should come with a front fan at least! Only has one hard drive cage, two would have been perfect. Don’t expect to put your cd-burner in the top bay, the dock cables make it impossible. Top fan is also too close to the motherboard.

Other Thoughts: The designer must have been drunk when putting the V6 logo on the case, why sideways?? Go BIG with the side window next time not a little peep-hole. There are far better cases out there for the same price.
