Conclusion:
The Thermaltake Xaser VI is a huge case with plenty of room for all kinds of hardware. The unique Xaser style is toned down for this latest incarnation, but is still very cutting-edge. The construction and design are excellent, and the list of features on this case is extremely long. The all-aluminum construction keeps the case light-weight, although when filled to the maximum that changes considerably. The removable motherboard tray, sliding top panel, changeable door-opening, and toolless features make the case a pleasure to work with. The added 120mm and 140mm fans are fairly quiet and provide a lot of airflow through the case, especially with the extra vents and abundant use of black mesh. One final place the Xaser VI shines in is cable management, which is made incredibly easy with the rotated HDD cage, slots in the motherboard tray, and the included wire ties and straps.
Conclusion:
The inclusion of Thermaltake's tool-less design and a removable motherboard tray makes for light work when installing your system of choice. The amount of storage capacity and versatility of the Xaser VI chassis also warrants a mention, as it enables the user to customise the chassis according to whether storage or additional cooling is a priority. The chassis ability to house a 120.3 sized radiator internally is further testament to the design.
In conclusion, I have decided to award the Thermaltake Xaser VI Super Tower the Overclock3D.net 'Recommended Award' and the 'Innovation Award' based upon its performance today.
Conclusion:
The Thermaltake Xaser VI is an aggressively featured full tower case available for the micro-ATX, ATX and Extended ATX platforms. It has innovative features, all useful to give added value to the customer. Looking at the product one can see it is geared towards gaming enthusiasts who like to have high-end products.

Conclusion:
Thermaltake has delivered a full-tower case with the features and looks one would expect from a higher priced model. Thermaltake has delivered on its promises of a great case with plenty of expansion room for those 4 dual slot video cards you are hankering to buy. The only negatives I have found on the case are the high price and the I/O cable length which are minor quibbles on a case that delivers for the person wanting high-quality components and a case that will hold anything you could possibly want in a computer system. For those reasons I give the Thermaltake Xaser VI an Editor's Choice award as it definitely is worthy of praise.
