“One word describes my feelings about the Thermaltake M9 VI1000BWS – fantastic! It performed very well in my tests, looks awesome, and the included 120mm fans manage to push a good amount of air while remaining very quiet. The tool-less drive bays and expansion slot retainers were very well made – I didn’t even break one! From top to bottom, this is my favorite mid tower so far, and its very reasonable price makes it an even more attractive option.”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

Thermaltake goes bargain basement
Thermaltake’s M9 has a lot to attract users, from it’s low price to well done air cooling and tool-less installation. It would be nice to see a removable motherboard tray as well as the ability to add more fans, but if you need more serious cooling, you can always fit on a pair of more powerful 120mm fans.
