Thermaltake V8000A Gaming Case

     Buying a case today is like trying to pick out your favorite bag of chips. Sometimes you feel like a bag of Doritos, or perhaps some Cheetos, but nonetheless they all give you the same thing in the end. Cases are much like that, and very seldom does ClubOC get a case that's a bit different then most. Not that its a bad thing, but its hard to really distinguish one case from the next unless it has some good features like aluminum construction, fans, side windows, etc. Once you finally choose the case you want, what usually happens is you grab some CC lights, illuminated fans, and trick it out with some blow holes, and fan controllers. Well what if I were to tell you that you just don't have to go there anymore, you can get it all in one fell swoop? Well after spending some time with this new offering from Thermaltake I'll be the first to say I have never seen a case you can buy with this much stuff. Its simply remarkable to see a company like Thermaltake pay so much attention to what we want, and not what we need. The V8000A case is the Ferrari of cases. You get overclocking, functionality, and good looks in one nice and affordable package. Lets take a look...
