Thermaltake Xaser III VM3000A: Skull Series
From Thermaltake we also received the VM3000A, which is part of their new Skull Series. The buzz about this case centers around Thermaltake's introduction of a new honeycomb-style windowed side panel that Thermaltake claims is fully EMI shielded. According to Thermaltake's Web site, this case with the honeycomb-windowed side panel in place is fully EMI shielded, tested by Class B. Unfortunately, no review site on the Internet, including THG's, has an RF/EMI test chamber to do comprehensive RF/EMI testing. Thus, we cannot verify the validity of this claim. Nonetheless, the theory that Thermaltake has presented in this design is sound; thus, it could quite likely live up to Thermaltake's claims.
