that's one hell of a big case. those 790fx boards would easily accommodate this case. I mean, 10 PCI slots? Really nice.

Alot bigger than I remember the Xasers being. Im impressed by the girth of this beast. Albeit, the price is also alot higher than I remember these cases being. For the price of this, I can get the Kosmos and be good to go. Oh and a nice water cooling setup

Excellent review, but holy crap - Thermaltake's design team need a slap. The aesthetics are disgusting.

I think the design is much more subtle than previous Xaser cases. However, (as stated in the review) if you like the features but not the design there is also the Armor+ case with a much more traditional design. Under the hood, they are both the same.

that is a massive case

You could build your own personal server tower with that chasis

Although, I found it somewhat similar to the CM Stacker 83x series . . . maybe that's just me
