Introduction

Xaser is a familiar name when it comes to cases and Thermaltake products. The Xaser has gone over so well that Thermaltake has redesigned it once again. After four generations of the Full Tower Xaser, Thermaltake gave the Mid Tower a shot in addition to the Full Tower case. The Thermaltake Xaser VI MX VH9000BWS case is certainly unique in design and sort of brings me back to trigonometry with all of the external design. Read on further to see what I'm talking about.

- Optimized design for both liquid cooling and air cooling system
- Tool-free design for 5.25" device and PCI slot
- Independent thermal management for CPU, VGA & HDD

Packaging

The Xaser VI MX comes packaged in your typical case box. The front displays the black and red case on a gradient background of the same colors. Of the two smaller sides one tells you that it is, in fact a computer chassis while the other tells you which model is in the box whether it has a window or not; ours does. The back goes a little more into detail on what features this case has.


Inside of the box is something a little out of the ordinary. The case is protected by two pieces of soft, sturdy foam, but this foam is also wrapped with a layer of cardboard for extra protection and support. The case is also protected by a soft cloth bag.
