A closer look at the Vx-9 Pro from the inside

Opening up the side panel you are first confronted with a massive 200mm fan running from 800 to 2000rpm that will push up to 76cfm at max speed, plenty of side cooling for your hot parts.  But what else would you expect from a company that specializes in PC cooling systems. 

You’ll also see a center guide pin for helping install your motherboard.  I know, it’s not that hard to do yourself, but no one is going to argue that this isn’t a helpful feature, added by a company that listens and understands where the DIY customer is coming from.  Another nice fact is the width that will allow you to run your new, ¾ mile long video cards, well maybe not that long, but up to 307mm.  This is a big plus for those of you wanting plenty of space without buying a full size tower.  

You’ll find a 3xHDD cage and a 5.25” bay which includes a 3.5” HDD adapter, both tool-less.  Whatever the size you need, you will find plenty of space for your HDD’s, optical drives or whatever front panel goodies you have purchased. 

On the bottom you will see pre-drilled holes for the power supply’s fan exhaust, along with an optional location for a 120mm fan, or leave the fan out and use your extended length power supply and you’ll find nothing there to get in the way. 

It comes with a rear 120mm fan and on top panel you can use either 2x120mm or 2x140mm fans with preset screw locations. 

Your front panel is set up for another optional 120mm fan right in front of the HDD cage.  Another big plus is that the entire front panel is made of steel mesh and is covered inside with a dust cover, huge bonus there.  The only two issues I had were the power button that wouldn’t line up and the labeling for the fan controller, it was starting to separate, nothing major, but something to deal with.
