Thermaltake announces NVIDIA-branded Element V SLI-ready chassis

Thermaltake announced the new Element V chassis, designed in collaboration with NVIDIA to provide the space necessary for up to a Quad-SLI NV480 (Fermi) setup. The press release mentions the following specifications:

In addition to the oversized cooling fans, one 230mm Colorshift side intake fan, one 200mm Colorshift top exhaust fan, two 120mm front intake fans and one 120mm rear exhaust fan, found on the standard Element V chassis, Element V NVIDIA Edition chassis also incorporates graphic card “air duct” system engineered by Thermaltake and NVIDIA to provide added cooling for high-performance NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 and 470 GPUs running in advanced 3-way or Quad SLI configurations. The proprietary “air duct” system brings cool and fresh air directly from the outside of the chassis and accelerates it to graphic card’s intake to increase heat displacement and achieve optimal cooling efficiency.

No word on pricing yet for the NVIDIA edition of the Element V, but the stock edition currently retails for $169.99, so there’s a very good chance it will be slightly higher priced than that. Thermaltake director of marketing Ramsom Koay told us, “As soon as we get word back from NVIDIA, we’ll have pricing. It should be soon.”
