Yes, exactly. They made two models, the VI1000BWS, the one with the window, and the VI1000BNS, with.

aww no side window makes me unhappy. i have window!

lkegley9

I personally regret not getting it, but at the time, the windowless was cheaper, plus I didn't really want a window. I found out recently though that two 120mm fans can be mounted on the side window, while I can only do one 80mm and I can fit a 92mm on the little vent. I ended up drilling two holes for two new 120mm fans, one on top and one on bottom for extra ventilation. I need to get one more 120mm intake then I should be good to go.

well. I like the window for the pure fact that i can see everything that is going on. and it allows me to better hear my parts. like if my vid card is acting up. i can hear it and know what part it is w/o ripping my case open lol. for alot of people this is a bad thing bcuz they want silence, but i like performance. :P silence are what headphones are for :P

lkegley9

Yes good point. But I hate headphones. Thats why I just crank up the speakers! XD

Yeah I have five total fans (not including the PSU fan because its nearly inaudible at idle). Four 120mms; 1 Intake in the front, 1 Intake on the bottom, One Exhaust in the rear, One Exhaust on the top, and one side intake that is 80mm. Including my PSU fan though would be another 140mm exhaust (since its exhausting air from the case).

So its not exactly very silent. No sound dampening at all. Just the case itself. The front intake is a Panaflo, so it spins fast. Spinning fast = Loud.

And hey if you ever need help with anything computer related, I'm always here.

And COME ON! Anymore M9 owners out there?

I ordered an M9-BWS last week it arrives tommorow. Glad to see someone else already added a 120mm top blowhole (what kind of mesh/ screws did you use?) Nice paint job btw. I also plan to add another iCage. I have no exp overclocking, overclocked one CPU, back in 1995 (Pentium 133MHz to 166).
