Thermaltake XASERIII

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt (More info?)

I am building a new computer. Have all the new parts for assembly except for
the case. I do not want to disassemble my old pc. I have been looking at the
thermaltake cases, especially the XASERIII. It looks like it has everything
I am looking for except I can't find any information to tell me if the plate
that holds the motherboard is removable so I can assemble outside the case?
I also have the antec true control 550 for my new case. Is this a good case
or is there something else that is better? I want a full height tower -
25-29 inches, I know the XASERIII is not that tall but it fits the rest of
my plan. I will be overclocking so heat is an issue. Can someone give some
insight
Thanks
Mike

One of the photos on this page shows what looks to be a hinged motherboard.

For the same money you can probably find a Lian Li PC-70 series full tower
case.

Thanks all for the info. The lian-li looks very nice too but I still like
that thermaltake.
Thanks

My questionss it is only about the EMI shield. If the case has a acrylic
window, how could EMI be eficient?

I just bought one and it has a removable mb tray. Just flick a few clips
and out pops the tray. No screws needed in the whole install.
