Are you in need of a new chassis to stuff all your high-end hardware in? Take a peek at this review of the Thermaltake Spacecraft VF-I case at RWLabs.

The Spacecraft VF-I (VN6000) is part of the latest attempt by Thermaltake to enter the low-cost segment of the market and sits right in the middle between their brand new Commander MS-I and Overseer RX-I PC Cases, price-wise at least. When it comes to features granted the Spacecraft VF-I may not be the most exciting PC Case out there but as you will all see later on it has a nice design and does offer a very good bang for your buck.

I will never buy a case again that doesn't support at least 8 PCI expansion slots. 7 is so 1996. This is a major thing I look for in a case, I am not looking to replace my main rigs case but if I do it will have 8 or 9 slots minimum. I consider the 7 slots in my PC-V1010 one of its few negatives.
 
Am I the only one who read "Spacecraft" and instantly thought "Ooo Aluminum case time!" and then was supremely disappointed when it turned out to be a budget steel case?

Anyhow, zero interest from me for my own personal use. However I have a friend who desperately needs a new case as hers is a crappy plain white box from back in the day that has honestly seen way better days. Her budget is extremely tight and this is a fairly nice looking high airflow case for honestly not much. I will still try and get her to spring for an entry level Lian-li case as they aren't much more, but for what it is marketed as this is honestly nice.
 
I think it's pretty decent for the money. ALuminum would have been much preferable for a LAN case but, you get what you pay for.

Funny...i'm like the opposite...if it has 2 slots for GPU and one for my sound card I'm good. I try to get 4-5 minimum though...however I also look for 5+ hard drive mounts in cases...my A+ Black Pearl has 15 hard drives in it. I had to start buying 4x3 adapters for the 5.25 mounts to fit in all my drives. (only...wow :S...8 hard drives can be mounted in the bottom) XD
 
When I saw Spacecraft VF-1, I figured I was going to see a case influenced by a UN Spacey design from Macross. I am really showing my age with this statement. :D
 
Think I found my cheap case, for the old system.

Honestly it's a budget case (probably the first I have seen from TT under $99) I wouldn't expect anything else from a $55 case, going to have to do some work and get it filtered, but should be ideal for a cheap build...Although the Xigmatek Midgard II looks more appealing even though it's $10 more.
