The VF-I is a mid-tower case with eSports DNA. It has an aggressive styling somewhat similar to Cooler Master's HAF line, an all-black interior, and plenty of cooling potential. It supports up to 7 fans, can accommodate graphics cards up to 12.5 inches in length (including AMD's Radeon HD 6990 and Nvidia's GeForce GTX 590), will support a high performance 24cm water cooling radiator, and boasts a USB 3.0 connector.


So is Thermaltake really dubbing this a "Spacecraft" based on owners surfing through cyberspace? Not exactly. As Thermatlatke explains it, the name is a combination of ample 'space' to work with in combination with a carefully 'craft'ed exterior that has "an aluminum front bezel and explicit aerodynamic design."
