Thermaltake V4 Black Edition Gaming Chassis Mid Tower Steel Computer Case Fully Black Powdered Interior VM30001W2Z

Pros: Black exterior/interior. Cute little window. Roomy considering small size for a mid tower. Provisions for additional cooling, and good air flow.

Cons: Everything stated in previous reviews is correct. One or both top fan mounts are gonna be a no-go for most set-ups. Handle it with kid gloves or you will dent or scratch it. The metal tines that hold the front panel on are stronger than the plastic they are bolted into, yank off the front panel and you will break them off. No room behind motherboard, barely enough to route the front panel connectors.

Overall Review: I got this case for $35 utilizing combo deal and discount + free shipping. At that price, it is well worth it (in a budget build where every dollar counts). At $50, there are better options. I read all the reviews beforehand, and was ready for the drawbacks. How to be happy with this case:
1) Be careful with it, it will break or bend if you get too rough.
2) Replace the included fan, and make sure to get a good intake fan as well.
3) Take the tool-less drive gizmos and throw them away, use screws.
4) If you have any hope of using a bottom intake fan, get a modular power supply.
5) Build slowly and carefully, use alot of zip-ties for a clean end product with good airflow.
6) Unscrew those front panel metal clips, don't just pull.
7) To mount a micro-atx properly, you have the raised motherboard standoffs, one pre-installed spacer piece (thats all it is, it just is a spacer with a post that goes through the center hole), and need to use two included motherboard screw-in standoffs.

Pros: it housed my hardware.

Cons: stamped standoffs, one of which was not crowned off and i was worried about motherboard components shorting out.
i glued red insulated standoff washers on to fix the issue.

the case comes with a single standoff mounted that is a non standard size. it is also non-threaded.

the two fan cutouts in the top of the case are too close to the motherboard to utilize standard 120mm fans.

the optical bays do not allow positioning the drives out from the front bezel at all.
also when attaching the optical drives from the back side of the case you have to crush in a double wall to get it tight.

Overall Review: no way this case is worth $40 (if i get the rebate).
i will not purchase this model again.
spend another $20 and get an antec 300.
barely good enough (with some modding) for my mother in laws email / bill paying build.
