Closer look at the VX-9 Pro from the outside

Like I told you earlier, the first thing that struck me was the shiny “mirror-finishing” on the front and top panels, it comes well protected with cling-wrap meaning that when you get it and unwrap it, its shiny and fingerprint free (won’t stay that way long though).  You will also notice that it doesn’t look like any other case on the market that I have seen.  Innovative unique designs are always a plus. 

The Vx-9 Pro does not have a side window, but instead ships with a massive 200mm fan, while this isn’t the largest fan you will find in Aerocool’s lineup, but it is a massive fan. 

It comes with the obligatory top headphone and MIC plug in along with 2 USB ports.  The feature that caught my eye is the built in fan controller.  It will control up to 20 watts worth of fans and includes:  Cruise control where all fans run at 60%, this is the silent mode, Turbo mode where all fans operate at max speed for those intense gaming or overclocking times, and Stop mode where all fans stop, the true silent fan mode.  And of course you will find the power and reset buttons located on top. 

The Vx-9 Pro back panel includes water cooling ports, although they aren’t surrounded with rubber grommets like most you see these days, but if you’re after water cooling you will certainly appreciate having them available, no more hole cutting or routing them out card slots for you.  You will also notice that the power supply is placed low for improved interior cooling. 

If you take a look at the bottom you will notice solidly mounted rubber feet, not something you normally pay attention to, but I have lost many of those “stick-on” feet.
