First: Thermaltake is not new to cooling solutions, with there full line of CPU coolers and water cooling rigs and case fans. The Thermaltake Xaser III case is quite the cooling machine. This case is very large, fitting micro-ATX, ATX and Super ATX form factor motherboards. The inside of the case is quiet large, so that gives you plenty of room to maneuver things around, without worry of hitting the motherboard. This is especially good when you're a modder, and your always taking things in and out of your case. Another good feature about the inside of the case, is that the 3.5 in drive bays are easily removed with one screw. This give room for water cooling pump “small one,” or just room to stuff and hide wires. The case does not have a removable motherboard tray, it's not necessary for a case, but it just makes it a bit easier to get your motherboard in and out.

 

 

Features: Thermaltake did a great job on this case when it comes to features. The standard case comes with the following parts as listed

PARTS:

7 Thermaltake silent case fans

420W pure power, power supply

Hardcano 9 fan bus controller and cpu temp monitor

A Thermaltake Cold Cathode in front of case

A lock for the front access panel

2 keys for the lock

Thermal Sensor for Hardcano 9

5 ¼ in drive bay inserts “see picture”

3 ½ hd mounts for case “see pictures”

Thermal Tape

Manual

So as you can see, this case is very plentiful in what they give you. The feature that is neglected in a lot of cases is a “blow hole” or upper exhaust fan. Since heat rises, all the hot air goes to the top, thus raising case temperature, but if you have an exhaust fan to get rid of that hot air, your case temperature will decrees.

 
This proves that Thermaltakes cooling system really works!
The side fan holder, is really a good design, it is easily removed, and it ensures good airflow “cool air” to the motherboards chipset, and the intake on the CPU heat sink fan. It also helps keep the video card cool. This is mainly because you have a direct air source coming from the outside of the case that blows directly onto the motherboard and major components to help keep them nice and cool. One thing I would like to see change with this design is the power of the fans used for the side fan holder, the fans spin around 2100 rpm's and don't have much airflow. The overall cooling would be increased at the expense of the extremely quiet case. So I would suggest purchasing 40+ CFM fan's for the side panel fan holder.
