Thermaltake Technology Co., Ltd.
started its core business based on our extensive knowledge of PC thermal management during the era where the area of performance CPU cooling was only exclusive for "overclockers" orPC enthusiasts. With the company's initial launch of Orb coolers, it created waves of shocks and appraisals throughout the gaming and overclocking communities. Thermaltake quickly became the name gamers turn to when they need high-end and reliable thermal solutions.
With company's core business of CPU cooling still growing at a vast rate, Thermaltake made another grand entry to the PC chassis industry. To date, Thermaltake has always been considered as the pioneering company that revolutionized the PC chassis industry with Xaser series enclosures. The typical and traditional beige and plastic front panel design was outdone by Xaser series chassis's atypical gaming red and aluminum front panel. It was also the first enclosure available to public with Hardcano unti which provided users full control over computer's thermal management system.
In the year 2002, Thermaltake announced Purepower line of power supply unti for the ever-growing power-hungry PCs. Purepower series PSU quickly gained recognition with its extensive warranty and high-reliability guaranty.
Today, Thermaltake has grown into a world-class company with state-of-the-art testing and R&D facility based in Taiwan along with 60+ engineers and ID team covering each application segment such as Liquid Cooling, Air Cooling, PC Enclosure and Power Supply for main-stream users, high-end solutions, system integrators and industrial applications; thus achieve Thermaltake's company motto, " COOLall YOUR LIFE " !

The case comes packed in a nice black box which matches the case color itself very well as these V9 cases come with a nice matt black color. Just looking at the case after unpacking it doesnt look more special than any other case so what is so special about it. One thing we can see is that there is no plexi window but instead there are two 120mm fan slots on the side panel.

To save some space and make the front ports more accesible they have mounted them so they lean towards you which makes it easier for you to plug devices in and you can also put your computer under a table and still be able to plug USB stick etc into the ports.
Further up in the front you got the leds and power button, when the computer is running the space around the power button is lit with a nice blue led.

The side has two 120 mm slots and the back also has a pre installed 120 mm fan which is supposed to exhaust the hot air out of the case.
