I have defeated Thermaltake!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHA!!! Thermaltake must feel my wrath. I have found the Enermax case that has the same design as the Xaser III!!! Here it is:

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?description=11-124-034

It's only $75. It's missing fans, window, and temp monitor, but it still has that pimp airflow design. Thermaltake shall rip me off no longer!

dude, you mean the inside design? thats available on a bunch more enermax cases, and the basic case frame is a Chieftec... you can find some good prices at <A HREF="http://www.directron.com" target="_new">http://www.directron.com</A> on 'em.... besides, why the f*ck would annyone want one of those stupid thermaltake xaser cases with all that extra plastic, its useless and expensive for nothing, might as well mod the case n install the fans you want, where you want - yourself

But it's the exact same stuff. The top USB, firewire, and sound is the same with the same blowhole. It has all the air filers and the swing out side fan panel. It is exactly the same case!

yeah true, but meh, i dun like it is what i was gettin at :tongue: i mean the case itself looks nice enough (i like the other colors of it too) but all that garbage inside i think is useless... but that my opinion, i mean, i rather build somethin like that, some fan shrouds n such myself outa plastic and mold it n sh*t, but whatever, its all good - if you do grab that case tho i'd like to hear some impressions you have from it

Here's what I'm planning to do: I'm going to get the silver version of the case from xoxide along with some green UV sensative paint. The stuff is clear unless there's a UV light. I'm going to paint the whole inside of the case with this stuff. Then I'll get a 12 inch UV cold cathode and those glow in the dark ATA cables. I'm going to try to get a window with 80mm fan holes in the same spots as that side thing. If it doesn't work I'll just remove that swing out thing and mount some fans directly on the window. (wait, how do I do that?) Anyways, I'm hoping to end up with a massive contrast of purple and green. I also found out how to do diy window "etching", so I might make a stencil and do that myself.

I probably will scale back this massive operation or do it in pieces, but it will end up cool!

I understand that both cases are made by CaseTech and sold on to Thermaltake and Enermax. Thermaltake just fit theirs out with more [-peep-] so they cost a bit more.

Just be careful with those UV lights my friend (also known as blacklights)! They can cause some serious damage to your eyes if you get the wrong frequencies - but i like the idea. Please PM me if you take some pictures, i like the idea.

The case in the link is made by foxconn. The same company makes cases for Compaq/HP. I know because I work for them as of now. Foxconn is taking over all the manufacturing of compaq computers. I think their o.k. for a non-computer literate person but wouldnt use one myself.
Plus its only a 300w powersupply. WTF. Its the same underpowered cases they use in compaq computers. Enough to run the computer but dont plan on putting anything power hungry in it.
