Motherboard Tray
Unlike the VM3000A, the V6000A does not have a removable motherboard tray. This is not a problem, since the case is large enough to work with when replacing hardware, but it would be an excellent feature to have.Thermaltake does continue its tool-less features to its motherboard tray by including the option to use snap-on stand-offs similar to the ones used in the VM3000A. The stand-offs used in the V6000A, however, use plastic pushpins to expand the standoffs, like a wedge, to secure the motherboard.

It is wise to use at least one of the standard screw-based standoffs as the snap-on type may become loose and lose their hold on the motherboard if not secured correctly.

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
30 43.6"
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.
