Pros

• Integrated fan-speed controller
• Edges filed down
• Sturdy case
• Sturdy front door, 180 degree hinge, lockable
• Ships with five 80 mm system fans
• HDD carriage rotated by 90 degrees
• Room for a PCI long card
• All drives have rails with vibration absorption

Cons

• Weight
• Graphics card installation
• Separate device connectors for many system fans

The front door opens by up to 180 degrees.

In sum, the Xaser V5000A is definitely not the case to lug to a LAN party every day; its sturdy construction is designed more for stationary use. Thermaltake will have to remedy the graphics-card blunder fairly quickly; other than that, the case is well-designed.
