Thermaltake VL84301W2Z V3 Black Edition with 430W Power Supply ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Bottom mount 120mm fan spot in front of bottom mount psu great included psu prob worth more than the case nice 120mm rear fan included good cable running spaces. GREAT offsets for mini atx motherboard everything is supported. Front cables are well marked and single peices when possible.

Cons: Pretty much impossible to mount fans in top of case at least not 120mm fans anyhow, not enough room between top of case and motherboard also rear exhaust fan is in the way also. If you are installing add on cards be careful the case back is not rigid enough and moving the case around will tend to pull the cards somewhat out of the motherboard may be corrected with installation of video card currently running with gpu only but needed wireless card. Top snaps for front panel are cheap plastic broke one first time taking off front cover however 4 lower snaps are metal and seem to hold fine even when missing 1 of the top plastic ones.

Other Thoughts: I would not trust the quick secure things I used screws since I have to ship this case.

Pros: Great case anf fan combo

Cons: none

Pros: Inexpensive, no sharp edges

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: very nice case and psu for the money. better than I expected!!

Pros: High value, attractive and reasonable quality for price. This case will be adequate for those looking for a value case that is attractive without looking like an alien scout ship.

It's well ventilated and has room for several fans. My setup doesn't require anything fancy and it more than suits my needs. The included power supply makes it a great value...except mine is dead.

Cons: Power supply is dead. After building my system and putting it into place. I noticed the system wouldn't power on. If I push hard on the power cord while powering on the system then it will come alive. Clearly there's a short somewhere in the PSU. Needless to say, I'll be throwing it out and buying a new power supply today, which makes this case now about $50 more expensive.

Pros: good looks, power supply works great so far, I like the modest blue light, good fan support

Cons: you will need a 4-pin to SATA power adapter to use both SATA dvd and hard drive

Pros: Other manufacturers try to charge this much for a case alone or a power supply alone, but Thermaltake gave me both. The power supply capacity is perfect for mid-range systems, with a generous number of mesh-wrapped cables (in lengths which are slightly less generous but still reasonable). I wasn't able to take advantage of Thermaltake's tool-less drive mounting option, but the fact that they even tried to allow for it in a low-priced case design is admirable.

Cons: Maybe I hang with the wrong crowd, but I don't know anybody who truly likes bright blue LEDs or clear windows (in an otherwise non-clear case). I'm also not fond of the Thermaltake logo being molded into the front. It's not an optional sticker nor a flat area which could be covered by a sticker from Intel/AMD/Asus/etc. so when I used this case to build a system for a customer, they immediately asked, "So this is a Thermaltake computer?"

Other Thoughts: I was lucky enough to receive an undamaged shipment by UPS. I can understand that other reviewers were frustrated by damaged shipments, but I felt that Thermaltake's packaging (polyethylene bag in styrofoam frame in double-corrugated box) was appropriate; there's only so much they can do for a value-priced case.

Personally, I handled the cheap plastic drive bay covers carefully, and I never applied excessive force on thin metal pieces. I think some reviewers might have tried to treat this case like a more expensive case, but that's really not fair. Sure, we all want to believe that we got a bargain, but it's insanely unrealistic to assume that you're getting a top-quality case at this price.

Pros: I love this case. I have purchased 4 of them over the last year and a half. They are sturdy, light weight, and easy to fit anything into. There is a ton of airflow and many spots to add fans if needed.

Cons: Not enough to take an egg off of, but the power supply only has two SATA power plugs on the same line. Not far enough apart to run a DVD drive and a hard drive. Only has one clip for hard drive and one clip for dvd drive.

Other Thoughts: I reccomend buying a couple 4 pin to SATA power adapters and a 120 mm fan to put right in front of the hard drives on the front for good airflow. This case hasn't let me down!

Pros: Cheap, good looking, good psu, all black finish, tool less montage system

Cons: Need 4pin to sata cable if you want to connect CD/DVD drive and HDD/SSD, very slim steel panel, no cable management

Pros: This was the case that I did my first build for my family, and I have to say, it was a nice one to start with. The case has a black interior with motherboard standoffs already installed. Installation of all of my parts was a smooth transition to success, and the case looks pretty neat. It even came with the power supply for a cheap price might I add.

Cons: If you think you're going off the cases's manual, don't. The manual doesn't give good descriptions at all on how to do a specific task. It told you the general idea of what to do, but not which screws to take off. Being a beginner computer builder, maybe I'm being too picky, but that would have been nice to know for my first build.

Pros: Nice looking, well laid out inside and good quality powersupply

Cons: Not enough SATA power connectors and too many molex connectors. Flimsy metal, easily damaged in shipping.

Other Thoughts: UPS is destroying these cases. Have already had 2 out of 6 damaged. But it's not entirely their fault. The metal is extremely flimsy; not enough rigidity around power supply mount. For a case this delicate, the manufacturer should have better packaging for their case.
