Two USB 2.0 connectors as well as HD audio microphone and earphone jacks on the top of the front bezel put all major multimedia connectors right in your hand’s reach. The tool-free, all black Thermaltake V6 BlacX Edition offers a total of 8 drive bays for maximum storage expansion and 7 PCI expansion slots.

As characteristic for Thermaltake chassis, special attention had been paid to optimized ventilation and airflow. Therefore one 20 cm blue LED exhaust fan on top and another 12 cm exhaust TurboFan in the back warrant that heat dissipated by the CPU is immediately blown out of the case. Further airflow is created by 2 pre-drilled ventilation hole areas on the right side panel and the top of the case.

The feet elevate the V6 BlacX Edition high enough as to allow for improved ventilation of the bottom based ATX PSII power supply. To avoid outside dust to find its way into your power supply a removable and cleanable dust filter is positioned underneath, providing users with an easy way to keep it clean.

The V6 BlacX Edition mid-tower with integrated docking station on the top of the chassis is available for a suggested retail price of US$ 69.

The new chassis, ARCTIC Silentium T11, contains all the superior qualities that any computer users may look for. This series is affordable, yet offering exceptional durability, expandability and accessibility to users.

* Advanced ventilation with two temperature controlled 120mm fans for superior airflow and maximum cooling performance at a minimum noise level
* Supports up to 14” high-end VGA boards
* Screwless installation for 5.25” device bay for quick assembly and maintenance
* Front USB and audio ports allow you to quickly connect external devices
* Sturdy and durable steel construction provides a solid foundation for your PC

The ARCTIC Silentium T11, available in black and white, is a mid-tower. The design of this chassis features sturdy and durable steel construction that provides solid foundation for computer internal hardware. There are two USB and audio ports on the front of the chassis to allow users to connect external and audio devices easily. For visual appearance, the front panel also includes two covers to conceal CD-ROM and DVD-writer device bays. It contains four 5.25” external drive bays and one 3.5” internal drive bay.

Its design also supports up to 35cm long of high-end VGA boards. The spacious space inside the chassis is ideal for overclockers to install and upgrade up to seven expansion cards. The ARCTIC Silentium T11 also showcases tool-free installation for quick assembly and upgrade. Side panel slides open easily with thumb screws. Similarly, tool-free and screwless installation for mounting 5.25” drive bays is also very convenient for builders.

The ARCTIC Silentium T11 comes with two temperature-controlled ARCTIC 120mm fans. These controlled fans complement with the framework of the chassis to provide adequate airflow and offer maximum cooling performance at a minimum noise level. The temperature controlled fans are ideal to provide sufficient ventilation inside the chassis.

Since these fans are able to self-regulate their speed and work automatically according to the internal chassis temperature, further adjustments in computer settings are not required. The speed of the fan is able to remain at its lowest rpm at most times. This is to offer adequate ventilation at lowest noise level possible. However, the fan speed is adjusted to its maximum to provide instant cooling when the internal temperature reaches its critical range.

The chassis measures 532 (H) x 220 (W) x 537 (D) mm, weighs about 14.13 kilograms and is meant to be used in high-end gaming configurations powered by NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 470 or GTX 480 controllers. As such, it uses the full tower form factor, so that it can house even the largest motherboards, and has a graphics card ‘air duct.’ This duct was designed in collaboration with NVIDIA and is meant to improve the cooling of three-way or Quad-SLI configurations.

In addition, the PC casing features support for 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drive bays, five 5.25-inch bays and a top I/O panel, with audio, eSATA and four USB connectors.

In order to make the Element V NVIDIA Edition truly part of the green team, Thermaltake outfitted it with a number of green LED fans. There is a 230mm Colorshift fan on the side, for intake, a 200mm Colorshift on top and a pair of 120mm spinners on the front. There is also a 120mm fan at the back.

The chassis is set to start selling in April, which means it will become available around the same time as the cards themselves.

“Nvidia shares Thermaltake’s commitment to ensure the enthusiast community receives the best possible products that solidify the PC as the best gaming platform, period,” said Tom Petersen, technical director at Nvidia. “Through collaboration with Thermaltake’s leading engineers, we are excited that the Thermaltake Element V Nvidia Edition is capable of providing an awesome gaming environment for our next generation of enthusiast graphic cards, including GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470, running in 2-way, 3-way, or even Quad SLI. Put simply, it rocks!”

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 preinstalled 120 mm 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 to add a 120 mm intake fan, the top panel offers the possibility to install a 120 mm exhaust fan and on the bottom is room for yet one more intake fan. The standard ATX PSII PSU can conveniently 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 you power supply’s life time.

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. All of this making for a stellar setup.

The V3 Black Edition mid-tower chassis will be available at a suggested retail price of US$ 39.

The case material is steel, including a dash of meshed steel in the front-panel. The front-panel includes four 5.25″ drive bays, audio, USB, and eSATA connectors, and perforated steel to cover the front intake fan.

The interiors are all-black, with seven internal 3.5″ drive bays. Apart from openings that help in cable management, the motherboard tray has an opening that makes working with CPU coolers with back-plates easier. The ventilation system provides a lot of room for expansion: a 120 mm intake fan, two side 120 mm fans, a rear 120 mm, and another two 140 or 120 mm fans on top. Ports for water-tubing are included. It is available in Europe, for a price of 39.90 EUR.

The mid-tower chassis, is gunning for the gaming market and its steel frame incorporates room for up to five fans. Four of the five are included as standard – there’s a 120mm front intake, a 120mm LED side fan, a 140mm top exhaust, and a 120mm rear exhaust. If that doesn’t do it, you can add an additional 140mm/120mm fan to the top.

What’s useful is that NZXT also bundles in a fan controller, allowing users to opt for cooling performance or quieter operation. Elsewhere, there are seven 3.5in drive bays, and they’re lit up by an ambient night light that NZXT claims will “give visibility in dark rooms and at LAN parties”.

The chassis features a smoked side window and an all black interior, there’s room for a bottom-mounted PSU, and the motherboard tray is packed full of holes to help with CPU cooler installation and cable routing. Pre-drilled water cooling holes are present, as are mounting holes for a top-mounted dual radiator, and there’s a selection of ports on a side-mounted I/O panel – including USB, audio and eSATA.

As with most NZXT chassis, the Lexa S promises a lot for what’s relatively little. We’re told to expect the chassis in stores this month priced at an MSRP of $69.99 (roughly £45).

Lian-Li Industrial Co. Ltd Ltd has launched the PC-B25F midi tower chassis. The hair-line brushed all aluminum chassis is based on the original PC-B25 “Blue Ring” classic, however it has a few more refinements to make it that much more attractive.
