Who says cutting edge cool can't coincide with a hulking amount of space? Thermaltake's VA8004BWS begs to differ. This massive case doesn't need any fancy words to show its edge of cool, one picture is more than enough. But don't think this is just another pretty face. With an unbelievable eleven external 5.25" drive bays, and six internal 3.5" drive bays, this case has room for whatever you need of it and then some.

With such room, airflow is a natural concern. Not to worry. In the rear you have one 90mm fan, and on 120mm blue LED fan. On top you have an additional 90mm fan, and a 120mm fan in the front. The side panel comes with dual air ducts for optimum airflow upon your CPUs. With all this, what more could be asked of it? How about the durability of 1.0mm steel to protect your investment, or the ease of quick connect drive bays. This may indeed be the total package you’ve been looking for.

Pros: INTEL BUILDERS- I'm a carpenter and hired my build done ($100). I have 3.0duocore intel 1333fsb cpu. first thing is yes....you can remove the 4 screws holding the air-guides on and replace w/ 90mm fans. Hiding the wires is another story<I used blue electricians tape and they are visible. One thing I learned that didn't come across during my research is these video cards take up TWO slots. I have 2 cards SLI and used four slots right off the bat. The circular door on top w/ the nice 1394 and 2 usb's had to be removed (hub not door) because my MB asus striker extreme had a 5\4pin and the usb's connection coming down from the top is 5pin. Luckily we sqeezed a dual usb card inbetween the video cards. Another post here mention about the doors staying open on unlevel surfaces. This can be annusance. I used a couple pennies for shims and still have trouble but the cooling abilities of this unit far surpases the trouble of holding the door open while opening and closing my 20x Lite-on burner

Cons: Pro's continued- builder moved power button to bottom moved 120 led fan next three up and WD Raptor 10k sata HD is in front fan case-middle slot. Next 6 empty then top is burner. 700w OCZ PSU w\led fan fit nice and my builder loved the mesh harness over the wires. Haveing 6 fans I didn't feel the need for the top fan<don't know if it would've worked anyway with so many wires comming out of psu.

Other Thoughts: With the Zalman led cpu fan my cpu and MB temps are high 30's C. Already have dust building up on Zalman, but you know...can of air. For an air-cooled system this is as open as you're gonna get. OH YEAH if you had your heart set on couple scorpion fan gaurds for 90's on side-no joy- fan covers are 80mm. 4gigs 800mhz ddr2 corsair balistix w\led's. Bottom line I love my new Christmas tree (_._)

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Pros: very well constructed. wires Easily identifiable. if your looking into a case that locks and keeps the valuables safe then look at this unit

Cons: case was a bit on the heavy side when it was empty.

Other Thoughts: after putting the power supply in i found there was a metal box on the inside of the case that was removable. reason for removing was to get better air flow going into the power supply it's self.i really like the tray found at the bottom for small item storage.

Great Case

Reviewed By: NiX on 10/3/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I'm in love with the size and space inside. Great airflow dropped my Cpu temp 5 deg C from my last Mid tower case, and 10 overall Chassis temp. Lots of room to get your hands in there and solid construction. Adjustable depth side vents are nice.

Cons: HEAVY, lol 40lbs empty isnt light but what do i know. Had to unsecure the top I/O panel to get my p/s in but its not hard and any moron can do it.

Decent Case - Can Be Made Better

Reviewed By: Jro on 9/11/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Plenty of room, sturdy construction, toolless HDD cage, looks nice...

Cons: The BTX connectors on the inside panel may short a MOBO--my case didn't come with mylar patches and my manual made no mention of the patches.

Silly looking "wings" on front of case have weak magnets.

Top USB connector had to be replaced.

Other Thoughts: A pretty decent case if it weren't for the idiotic BTX slot problem--can fry your mobo.

I was able to install two, yes TWO, 120mm CPU coolers in my case after I removed the rear exhaust fan (reversed the clip and it mounted perfectly on outside of case...).

I wish Thermaltake offered a replacement door for this case (w/out the dual FX vent setup--I know I can take the tubes out but I'd rather have one large fan) if I decide to go with a different mobo.

AMD abandoned the FX platform so I'll wind up turning this into my game/web server.
