Inside The VS-9
A mid-sized access hole in the VS-9’s rear panel allows CPU cooler support plates to be installed without removing the motherboard, while a row of removable cable clips surround the motherboard area to ease cable management.
AeroCool adds seven flip-down card holders to the inside of its rear panel, but these didn’t work with our video card. Each holder is, fortunately, removable independently of other components, and threaded holes beneath these allow expansion cards to be secured by traditional screws when they're needed.
A row of ventilation holes along the bottom of AeroCool’s VS-9 allows a 120 mm or 140 mm fan to be mounted in front of most power supplies--even relatively-long units.
There’s very little structural metal in the VS-9, though the face is made more rigid by the factory-installed plastic fan adapter. This fan adapter is identical to the 5.25” bay to 3.5” drive adapters, and a second drive adapter can be used from the accessory kit to mount dual intake fans, if desired.
