Thermaltake Cases

[Allanon]

Can someone give or point in the direction of a comparison of all the cases that thermaltake makes? I need to know if the $140 ones are that much better than the others..

I am looking at the

Its the Silver Xaser V with 420 power supply..

Any positives or negatives from folks that have it?

Thanks in advance!

From what I hear the Power Supplies can suck in these systems. I had a friend who bought a thermaltake case and his PSU went out in 1 month. But that could just be a fluke... but I doubt it.

Wow, Thermaltake managed to make a case uglier than the Xaser III (I should know, my main PC is housed in one).

It looks like some pretty simple updates. FWIW, I love my Xaser (with the TT 420W PS), with all fans to the max it is still FAR less noisey than my Shuttle, but my temps are only around 48C with the stock AMD HSF (other specs in my sig).

I clicked the link and cringed at the sight of the latest Thermaltake monstrosity.

Well the new Xaser V's are totally sucky. The 3 and the 2 are the best ones. 3 and 2 have great ariflow and ok looks. The powersupplies are great, Antec level even.
