Thermaltake is among the most recognized and respected name in the enthusiast industry for aftermarket, high performance computer hardware and products. Most enthusiasts that have been building computers for any length of time have used fans, coolers, power supplies, or cases with the familiar "Tt" logo. Thermaltake products can be found in both low end and high end rigs alike, as their products range from budget-concious computing solutions to solutions that demand top dollar.

The Xaser VI is the latest offering in Thermaltake's ever popular Xaser series of full-tower enclosures.

The Xaser VI hardware bundle is one of the most extensive we've ever seen. Besides nearly a pound of screws, offsets, and thumbscrews, there are three different kinds of wire ties to satisfy the most anal of wire management freaks. While normally not a big deal, Thermaltake, unlike most of its competition, has seen fit to include enough wire and zip ties to encourage enthusiasts to practice wire management duties. This is a far cry from other chassis manufacturers who include but a single zip tie in their bundles. A cleaning cloth and a very extensive, well illustrated installation manual round out the accessory bundle. The black plastic box in the photo is an accessory drawer to mount in one of the seven 5.25" external bays. Also shown is a 140mm fan for the VGA area, and an adapter to mount a floppy drive in one of the 5.25" external bays as well.
