Bob Buskirk kind of laughed when I told him I had a Xaser VI....he was in the middle of reviewing the Tt SwordM.

I'm sorry...it is an incredible case...but....over $500?

cool case....but it doesn't really suit my fancy...especially at the price point.
plus i think the cm690 looks better...

finally someone thought of including a shrouded back for all those messy cables, but for just a couple of fancy open doors and back shroud its tad expensive...

Its basically a Tai-Chi, with the outside reworked with a newer design. Very solid case, really heavy case......great for tinkering or modding, but a little unrealistic for the casual user.

For a lot less money, I'd recommend a Cooler Master Cosmos, Thermaltake Armor (or Armor Jr), Zalman GT1000, or even a Silverstone TJ10, which I think is hands down the best case you can buy.

i really love TJ10 ever since last year when its just being reviewed and not even out of the market, i wish i could remember that magazine i read it from.

TJ10 is my next case, normally i would go CM for they proven their worth, but i choose TJ10 over Cosmos...

That's a really pretty case, but that price tag is a real turn off.

The TJ-O5 (original version from 2004) is still my favorite case. I'm sure I'd like the TJ-10. I have a KL-01...a nice case, but not a TJ....

That's nothing compared to the $900 Cooler Master cases with the Smooth Creations custom paint jobs (scroll down)

We covered those at CES last year......I'm sticking by my theory that the economy tanking is going to make people's disposable income dry up.....and I'd consider a lot of our stuff to be more luxury than necessity......I think you'll see a lot of this stuff dropped from product lines, and see companies merging, with the weaker being weeded out completely over the next year.

Personally, I'd rather get a Mountain Mods case for that kind of money.
