The Thermaltake V3 Black is priced very low, making it an interesting choice for those either just wanting something different than OEM or for those on a tight budget, looking for a cool chassis. With a black interior, very nice looks and a good construction quality it is more than adequate and you should feel like you have spent your 40 US Dollars or 36 € well. Considering the price tag, it is nice to see that you have a single fan present, which is something other case manufacturers do not offer with their lowest budget offerings. Thermaltake has stuck to the basics in most aspects and has designed the chassis as compact as possible to further reduce the overall cost. This is beneficial to you, as it makes for a small and light case, but it also hampers those who want to place large CPU coolers inside the V3 Black, as they simply won't fit. On the other hand, I cannot see someone spending so little on a case like this and possibly up to twice that on a CPU cooler and not expect to ask for trouble of some sort. Overall, the V3 Black should be a surprisingly satisfying, basic case, perfect for those bargain hunters out there.
