The Thermaltake V3 Black Edition is coated in black from the inside to the outside, lending it stylish looks and a degree of individuality. A transparent window at the back end of the left side panel allows for a look inside the case. This way the brilliant blue beams of the pre-installed 120mm rear exhaust-fan can emanate in a black-bluish array. A perforated black mesh front panel offers optimized airflow and a sleek design.

As characteristic for all Thermaltake chassis, the V3 Black Edition is also optimized for most effective airflow with the option for 3 additional case fans: the front panel allows you to add a 120mm intake fan, the top panel offers the possibility for a 120mm exhaust fan and on the bottom is room for yet one more intake fan. The standard ATX PSII PSU can conveniently be placed at the bottom of the case where you find an intake exhaust hole to immediately blow cold outside air into the PSU. An extra dust filter is attached to this fan hole in order to keep dust and dirt out of the case and the PSU, effectively prolonging your power supply’s lifetime.

With dimensions of 430 (H) x 190 (W) x 473 (D) mm the V3 Black Edition is a conveniently sized mid-tower that still offers more than enough room for system upgrades and expandability. There are four 5.25” and one 3.5” bays accessible from the front, and further four 3.5” and one 2.5” bays are accessible from the inside. Peripheral connectivity is given through the implementation of two USB 2.0 and HD audio connectors for MIC and speaker at the front panel.

Supreme Expandability with 9 Drive Bays Featuring four 5.25" external drive bays, and five 3.5" drive bays (one external and four internal), the Thermaltake V3 Black Edition provides supreme expandability.
Efficient Ventilation The Thermaltake V3 Black Edition features a mesh front panel to maximize airflow of the inner system. A rear 120mm blue LED fan improves interior airflow and looks simply amazing too.
Tool-free Installation The tool-free design ensures quick installation and upgrade for expansion cards, 5.25" and 3.5" devices to save your time. Start enjoying computing rapidly!
Convenient Front I/O Panel The convenient front I/O panel enables easy access to two USB 2.0 ports and two audio ports.

Rage190 5/16/2013 2:52:29 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Loved it so much bought a 2nd one Pros: Great overall value Everything fits well Lots of expansion bays Cons: None that I have been able to find thus far. Other Thoughts: I purchased this case for myself a couple of years ago when I build my new machine. Everything fit inside perfect no hangups, no issues. Even with just the standard case fan (no additional purchased) My CPU and hardware temps always stay right in the Safe to Cool Range. I liked the overall performance and value of this case that when it came time for my father to upgrade and build a new machine I bought him the exact same case. Neither one of us has had an issue.

Ivan 5/15/2013 4:42:37 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Good Case Pros: Light, feels sturdy and make installation of components very easy. Cons: One very minor, my board POWER LED was only a 2 pin and the case's was a three pin connector. Had to cut in half. Other Thoughts: Its been a long time since i built a pc, i have been a Mac user for such a long time. The last time i built a pc the power supply was mounted at the top and water cooling was just coming out. I was very impress with the simplicity of the case and the pre-form for the board and minimal use of stand offs. I also like Thermalake and they deliver good on the case.

N/A 5/11/2013 6:26:32 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5horrible Pros: looks good from the outside cheap case lots of reviews good rating Cons: after hours switching my hardware from old case to this case I finally gave up on this case. I don't think im ever going to be any more cases online, this case looks okay from the outside but difficult to setup. First my motherboard wont fit correctly and it is a new msi ATX and then my powersupply didn't fit easily aswell. After hours of forcing my hardware to fit when its suppose to fit easily. my computer is not booting up and I think its because of how my motherboard is on the case. I am not happy with this case and I do not know how it has all these stars with all the reviews and such. I am also forced to keep this case because if I RMA it, it would be point less when paying the shipping to ship this back Other Thoughts: spend more money on a case and you may not have the same problem as me. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

CravinR1 5/9/2013 10:13:24 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5$30 case is good Pros: Nice looking with plenty of room for storage. Great price at $30 Cons: Only enough tool less storage connectors for 1 3.5 and 5.25 drive. Thin material Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 4/29/2013 12:54:15 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 1/5Overrated Pros: Bought it for $20 after rebate. Has separate, modular case speaker - it's cute and can easily be used on other computers, without having to unscrew. cheap Cons: overpriced at $45. No room for cable management - very old fashioned. No room for top fan closer towards the back or screw holes. Case can be loud. Weirdddd and unnecessary two-piece design for card hole in the back. The designer of this case seemed like a nooob mechanical engineer. This is "V3", of the case so why is there still such a convoluted, illogical, and poorly designed piece in the back? It's kind of difficult to handle screws with this area. back card slots are permanent punch outs, and cannot be re-covered. No dust covers for the 4 total top and bottom optional fan mounting positions. only one of each type (total of 3) of the toolless drive attachment pieces. The left button in front of the case is actually not functional. Both power and reset buttons are on the right, and the left is just cosmetic. cutout for aftermarket CPU coolers is too high for some. Xigmatek Gaia barely fit. Flimsy. Pretty POC case that should not be rated this high. Other Thoughts: Only buy if it's $20 or less. Even then, reconsider, because you can find similar deals on better cases. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 4/19/2013 2:45:15 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: Sleek Looking Comes with blue LED 120mm fan easy to install larger drives(CD/DVD) Cons: cheap plastic clips on front case only comes with three tool-less installation keys Other Thoughts: Great case for the money. Used it in my first build not too long ago. Bottom mounted PSU was a nice change for me. Note: THIS CASE WILL FIT THE Cooler Master HYPER 212 PLUS CPU Cooler! Did you find this review helpful?

lucie 4/16/2013 7:43:26 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great case for the $$ Pros: Plenty of room, easy to work in, some tool-less bays. Cons: No front port usb 3.0 (but you knew that!). Fan that is included is a bit loud. PCI slot pop-outs were a little hard to get off, if you know what you're going to use, get those off before installing anything. Other Thoughts: I paid $20 AR (which I did receive), you can't do better for the money, very happy with purchase. I probably wouldn't pay the $50 retail price outright, there are better deals to be had. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
SubZero1993 4/11/2013 12:32:17 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Great case for the price Pros: -A lot of ventilation -Really easy to install components expect for motherboard -Very affordable Cons: -Had difficulty installing my micro atx motherboard -The metal is kinda of cheap Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 4/10/2013 4:53:27 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Decent Case Pros: the case does what it's suppose to do, and it doesn't cost a fortune Cons: doesn't look very nice Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Sox1988 4/9/2013 6:47:33 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5It did what Its supposed to Pros: Plenty of ventilation. Plenty of room to work if you are using a Micro-ATX MB Price Cons: I had a Thermaltake PS that didn't fit without a little modification. Not enough screwless locks. Plastic facade felt cheap and could break rather easily Other Thoughts: If you just need a basic case with plenty of ventilation then this one is worth the price. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
