Thermaltake Armor review

[Sentential]

All bull**** aside, I dont like the the location of the HDD rack. It is clear it is positioned in a way for BTX but its really in a bad spot for ATX boards unless you mount the system upsidedown

 

[SavageBasher]

I myself cannot stand screwless case features. My new case has the drive rails, which is the worst idea ever, it takes 5 minutes per drive to get it lined up. I also never liked TT products, plus I will not support a company that makes copies of other company's products.

Where did that come from, EWBatOVAclockin?
Who's trying to fight for the armor here? I just point out what I think people would like to know, like I do, as I am looking for the best case to put my rig. If you pay attention to the this forum threads, you'll notice that I'm not fighting for a particular case.

haha, i thought it was kinda weird to. at first i thought he was going to defend you, since you're just saying its not a bad case, but instead he criticized you. its not like you're poking your head into every case thread and saying "the TT armour rulez!!!11"

everyone IS entitled to their opinion, EWBatOVAclockin, so let Ponche have his. hes just keeping this thread updated with reviews of the case. just because it is similar to (and could be based off of) the stacker, doesnt mean its a bad case.

 

[bigspice]

has anyone used both the armor and the stacker? I am interested in hearing their findings. my armor should arrive in the next few days; I will let you know what i find

you can get it with a window sidepanel instead of that thing

Where?
I have seen the windowed side panel sold seperately but have never been able to find a stacker that came with it instead of the goofy looking grill.

I just found my reason I don't need one I can't put a dual 120mm rad in it very easily and its made by Thermalcarp.

 

[Hey_Its_Cole]

Most people judt don't like this case because it is thermaltake, a like the armor and a few more of thier cases. I do not get the extreme hatered of thermaltake everyone seems to have. If i was buying a case right now this would probably be it, that or the new antec case that is comeing out. I have a silverstone tj06 and I wish I had waited on this or the antec.

 

[Nnyan]

It looks like the interior of the Armor and Kandalf are pretty close can anyone verify this?

Speed Bump, why do you say that you can not install a dual 120mm rad in this case? It looks to me to be pretty friendly to a dual 120mm (the reason I'm looking at this case) so any info would be helpful.

A1 did a review of the Kandalf case and they indicate that putting in a dual 120mm fan in the Kandalf case (which seems very similar to the Armor inside) was very simple (page 4 of the review they will be posting a guide up on the dual 120mm install).

[po0ns]

i got one

i got one and i love it, it especially looks good when you spray paint the whole inside black w clearcoat. the case is heavy duty. ive owned two lian li's and i liked them but this case is tough. its got great airflow in the front if you want to put a water cooled kit in. allt he quicksnaps are sweet and will look sweeter under UV reactive when i get my water cooled installed.... love this case.

 

[Ven0m]

It looks great, too bad it's expensive :/

 

[Frumpco_]

I pick up the armor in black and it looks great to me.. plus gotta love the large space and quiet fans
