Thermaltake M9 VI1000BNS Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Thermaltake's VI1000BWS is an affordable, no-nonsense case that combines style, function and performance. Part of the M9 series of mid-tower cases, it has plenty of room for expansion and tons of potential for modders. It holds up to nine 5.25" drives with the option to convert one of the external bays being convertible to mount a 3.5" drive. The three internal drives mount into a front removable cage – and like the other drives install easily without tools.

Up to 7 expansion cards can be installed as well – again without tools. Most standard ATX boards will install effortlessly thanks to the standoffs built into the motherboard tray. The entire case is cooled by a pair of silent, blue LED 120mm fans which draw air through the metal grille front bezel and out through the rear of the case. Up to two more 120mm fans can be installed behind the front grille in two different configurations to provide increased air intake.

A ducted mount is included for a fan to cool the VGA cards through the side panel and provisions are made for additional 80mm, 90mm and 120mm fans. A pair of easily accessible USB 2.0 ports are located at the top of the front plate along with HD audio input and output jacks.
