Not terrible

Thermaltake V5 Black Edition Mid-Tower Gaming Chassis With Embedded Handle VL70001W2Z
Thermaltake V5 Black Edition Mid-Tower Gaming Chassis With Embedded Handle VL70001W2Z

Pros: Inexpensive. Roomy. Case build seems very solid.

Cons: Only three internal hard drive bays, and they're somewhat hard to utilize. When you pull the cage out, you need a long slender magnetized screwdriver to mount the drives. Also, my case had a very slight (visually unnoticeable) bend that caused the top half of the motherboard to be off by 1.5mm. That sounds slight, but it didn't line up properly with the I/O panel. The top fan cable is just a 4 pin Molex (instead of an actual fan header), and it's a piece of junk. Very flimsy and the pins were all bent. I'm going to chop it off and put on an actual fan header. Finally, the front USB port cable was unplugged when I got it. It was kind of difficult to get the cable plugged back in.

Overall Review: Aesthetically speaking, this case looks really nice. It's got a solid feel to it.
