Case Fans
The V6000A includes a total of five 80mm fans. There are two orange fans that are both rated at 0.10AMP: the intake fan at the front of the chassis and the exhaust fan at the top of the V6000A.

There is also a black and orange exhaust fan on the swinging door, rated at 0.25AMP, which is directly over the CPU. This helps exhaust the heated air that the CPU dissipates without first circulating throughout the case.
In addition to those three standard fans are two LED fans. One is on the swinging door, which is rated at 0.18AMP.

The last fan, the second LED, is at the back of the V6000A and is rated at the highest of all five fans, at 0.48AMP.
As far as placement goes, all of the fans have been mounted in places where they will be most efficient. As we have seen in almost all of the cases that we have reviewed in the past, the intake fan in the front directs air towards the hard drive bays to cool them constantly.

On the swinging door on the left side of the case, the top fan exhausts warm air from the CPU while the bottom LED fan is an intake, which directs air towards the add-on card area, helping to cool the latest warmer running VGA cards.
The fan at the top has also been placed closer to the front of the chassis so that it does not interfere with an over-sized power supply as we have seen in so many other cases. Our OCZ PSU fit perfectly in the given space without having to remove the fan.

I agree with the above comments, it's becoming pretty clear that this isn't the type of case your target audience is looking for.skiboysteve - Thursday, July 22, 2004 - link
"Our results show that the CPU was kept at a stable operating temperature, at 56.2 degrees, which is about 40 degrees Celsius below the Athlon 64 3200's maximum recommended operating temperature.""System On-Time CPU

What??

i have the 3000a and I love it to death, although i have to agree, there are way too many wires. I did a great job hiding them though so the window looks good.Pollock - Thursday, July 22, 2004 - link
No, #1, check some of the previous case reviews here; there ARE uglier things. Several of them.TrogdorJW - Thursday, July 22, 2004 - link
I have to agree. Sure, it's big and roomy. It also scream, "I LOVE THERMALTAKE!" Personally, I would rather make a different kind of statement with my case.You know what someone needs to do? Create a case with pre-installed fans and wires, with a separate power unit (a very small one should suffice) to provide all of the fans and other devices with power. They could build the system with all the fans installed and still keep the majority of wires hidden away. And they should use 120mm fans spinning at lower RPMs. *That* would be something to spend $160 on!
Spend $160 on this monstrosity? Ugh. If you need big, there are better options. If you want silent, there are MUCH better options. If you want bright lights and gawdy flash, however, this case fits the bill. I'm sure there are a bunch of teenagers out there that think this case looks totally l33t. They're welcome to it, I suppose.
