What Can Thermaltake Do For You? - Page 9

eidairaman1 · Sep 17, 2011, 04:32 AM

just a quick note, was there any reason on the TT V9 Black X series case couldn't have the hot swap docks paced in the front of the case instead of ontop making the top 5.25 bay useless?

The BlacX dock does not seat a drive deep into it and therefore if mounted off of the front it could have an issue where drive can easily be knocked out or possibly damage the front panel if it is hit with a drive inserted accidentally.

Yes, the VG4000SNA.

I will say it does not rattle all the time, but when it does, it is quite annoying. The appliques are a bit loose, and I am wondering how to remedy that.

The side panel grilles do not appear to be loose, and I cannot figure out why they occasionally rattle also.

No ideas, then?

I could use a nice big thermaltake sticker,banner or logo for my setup

well i would revise the case n make the top portion taller so it doesnt make one slot useless or put a locking mech in the docking area

No. If you upgrade to the Challenger Pro and above they do.

That issue I have been messing with the chassis we have in the office and over the weekend a little. The issue is that the V shaped applique is plastic and does not have an adjustable mount and therefor cannot be tightened to eliminate a rattle or vibration.

Which pump are you using? and have you tried a rubber type mount or gel mount to eliminate vibration?

I am using a D5 Vario mounted in a XSPC bay reservoir.

I wish I could just send product like chassis and the like to everyone that wanted one because everyone would love me for sure but I cant do that.

as for the challenger, the challenger pro and ultimate both have backlighting for the keys. The ultimate allows for changing of the color as well.

yeah thats gonna be a bit tough to eliminate vibration from that. would it be possible to try rubber orings on the mounting holes for the bay res... may need to adhere them to the reservoir before installation.

I suppose I could simply remove the appliques, or even remove the door.

However, I would prefer to maintain the chassis in its intended configuration.

While I really like the chassis overall, it is small things like this that I not expect to happen with a chassis that had a MSRP of $300US.

none of which would be dear but what a case thatd make

I can look into these improvements but im not sure if that model will be making a comeback.

but you never know nothing is impossible

I have a suggestion for you, the quick release pci bracket on the Armor + breaks all the time. Or rather the little "wedges" it's made up of break all the time. Why not come up with a new bracket compatible with the Armor+, that doesn't have all those easy to break "wedges".

Those were the first things I removed from my Armor and my Xaser.

Just get rid of them and use screws, or do like do and not use anything if it is a card you might me removing somewhat frequently.
