Thermaltake Armor + Case Review
Thermaltake´s Armor case was a huge success a few years ago and now they have released a new version of their case named Armor +. This case is HUGE and I really mean huge! It also holds very nice features like screwless, fans, removable motherboard tray just to mention a few. We are going to turn this thing inside out to see what type of case they have come up with this time.

Thermaltake Technology Co., Ltd.
started its core business based on our extensive knowledge of PC thermal management during the era where the area of performance CPU cooling was only exclusive for "overclockers" orPC enthusiasts. With the company's initial launch of Orb coolers, it created waves of shocks and appraisals throughout the gaming and overclocking communities. Thermaltake quickly became the name gamers turn to when they need high-end and reliable thermal solutions.
With company's core business of CPU cooling still growing at a vast rate, Thermaltake made another grand entry to the PC chassis industry. To date, Thermaltake has always been considered as the pioneering company that revolutionized the PC chassis industry with Xaser series enclosures. The typical and traditional beige and plastic front panel design was outdone by Xaser series chassis's atypical gaming red and aluminum front panel. It was also the first enclosure available to public with Hardcano unti which provided users full control over computer's thermal management system.
In the year 2002, Thermaltake announced Purepower line of power supply unti for the ever-growing power-hungry PCs. Purepower series PSU quickly gained recognition with its extensive warranty and high-reliability guaranty.
Today, Thermaltake has grown into a world-class company with state-of-the-art testing and R&D facility based in Taiwan along with 60+ engineers and ID team covering each application segment such as Liquid Cooling, Air Cooling, PC Enclosure and Power Supply for main-stream users, high-end solutions, system integrators and industrial applications; thus achieve Thermaltake's company motto, " COOLall YOUR LIFE " !

Now this case is big so the box is even bigger, and on it you can look at a picture of the case itself. We got the silver version of the case but there is also a black version available.

On the top you will find a fan grill made out of plastic, big black plastic cover, usb, firewire, sound and even a SATA connector. You also got the power leds, and power button mounted on the front.
Behind the black cover on the top you will find an accessory storage unit where you can store cables, screws, tools or whatever you need it for.

If you want to add various drives this is the case since it can hold alot of extra 5.25 units. A 230 x 230 x 20mm fan is mounted on the side that runs at 800 rpm at 15dB which is very quiet if the specifications are right. A big fan means though that it will move more air at lower RPM which then means less noise in the end. They have also mounted a plexi windows on the side of the case and it is not a standard square one but this is actually shaped which gives the case a very nice look.
