Thermaltake M9 Case Review

Author: Dennis Garcia

When looking for an inexpensive case many people tend to overlook the important things like construction and focus on which one comes with the most fans or has the shiniest paintjob.  While many of these cases will do a decent job you have to realize that inexpensive also has its drawbacks.  Thinner metal tends to rattle like crazy, poor construction eats into your band-aid budget (due to scrapped knuckles and cut fingers.)  Not to mention they just look cheap.

However for a few dollars more you can get better construction, good cooling and classic “tuner” styling all without cutting a finger.

Now for the ever popular list of Good things and Bad things.

Classic Styling
Tool less design
Moveable HDD cage
Vented front panel
CPU cool air duct

Front plastic panel so glossy its hard to keep clean
“Tuner” vents are non functional
Limited fan locations
Cool air duct has questionable cooling
