I have a Thermaltake V3 black Edition case.
It was cheap but not worth any money.
Bad design.

1. The optional 120mm front fan doesn't fit between the case and the case cover.
It has to be installed inside the case between the drive cage and the front of the case.
There is no room to put bolts through the fan.
I suspect if you use regular fan screws that damage the fan plastic, it would fit.
I used flexible rubber "screws".
They were hard to get in but the excess bends around the drive cage.

2. I put a top 120mm fan expecting it to block the exhaust holes of the case but there is a row of holes left around the fan that are not covered by the fan.
I had to buy a 20mm thick fan because 25mm was blocked by my ram and CPU.
The case does not leave much room to work.
