By far, the best case I have ever had... in fact I don't see myself ever needed anything different. I have several drives, dual video cards etc.... and still have tons of room. |

Cons: Useless but cool flaps, heavy
Pros: Strong, huge, cool, amazing air flow, stylish Comment:
Let me clarify that I do not own this case, but I was very close to (had I not had a better deal on another case). I have, however, seen this case in action quite enough to judge it. This case is first of all Tt quality - the case is so strong and sturdy. On the down side, it's also heavy. Seriously, like zOMG-this-thing-is-freakin'-heavy heavy. So if you LAN, forget it. The cooling on this beast is simply brilliant. The 25 cm does wonders. The case is as noisy as you'd expect it to be, but I never care about noise that much, since I leave no computers in my room. Highly recommended if you have enough hardware; if you don't, it's probably overkill. |

Cons: Poor packaging
Pros: Solid, well built. Comment:
Woah.... a great case... plentiful of space... air flow is more than enough with on this quad core rig (not o/c'ed though)... looks great too.. can't really ask for more from a case... the flaps on front make it stylish but might be in the way if you need to access your optical drives often.. The only weakness from this case was the packaging; rather poor, wasn't protected on sides (except for that mac-tac type plastic on the side panel)... luckily box didn't have any damage during travel... You'll love that case! :) |

Cons: The fans are a little loud but you do get used to themOnce put together the case is pretty heavy.
Pros: Great coolingGreat case for a starter PC Comment:
I got this PC when I was building my first PC. I wanted to get a case that I would be able to replace the parts in with ease and have plenty of room for add ons. Man did I pick the right case. It fits the Geforce 8800 Ultra (11 inch Video card) with tons of room from the drives. It has so many fans in this thing that my tempertures range from 20-30 without my cpu fan added on. It can get loud from the fans but I where a headset so I dont hear them. Also the case was a little heavy compared to other cases. |

Cons: Trap door on top of case (USB, Firewire, Audio) is constructed of cheap plastic, and is prone to breakage.
Pros: Tt's Armor case has a lot going for it. But, it's greatest strength is its cooling capabilities. Heat dissipation is paramount, and this case enables you to jettison hot air right quick! Comment:
One year later, I'm still amazed by how much air I manage to push through my Tt Armor case. I've since replaced the Tt 120mm stock fans with Antec's TriCool Blue LED 120mm fans. The result? Under load conditions (CPU 90-100%~12+ hours) my CPU temperature ranges anywhere from 29-33 degrees. The motherboard holds between 32-34 degrees. My friends thought I was exaggerating, until I showed them the temps. I can play CS:S for an entire Saturday and my temps will not exceed 36 degrees (even the GPU is cool to touch -- thanks in no small part tot he 25cm fan built-in to the side panel). It's simply an amazing Tt product!Consider that the case is huge, stylish, leaks intense blue light through the transparent side panel (stock LED 120mm fans), and that the brushed aluminum fins at the front do in fact protect your drive bays from collisions and impacts of various kinds. Buying this case is a win/win situation.Hands down, this is a wicked case and a solid investment in your computer's components and in your system's lifespan.

Cons: There are two flaps on the front of the case that don't appear to serve any purpose except to snag the DVD drive tray. I removed them.With longer power supplies, the topmost fan cannot be mounted as intended.
Pros: Five fans provide ample airflow. Spacious. I like how the power/reset switches are mounted in a floppy drive bay. Comment:
Overall, I'm happy with the case, except that it looks a bit odd now that I removed the two useless flaps on the front of the case. |

Cons: Heavy
Pros: Very Strong Case, you can actually sit or even stand on it on the top.(do it at your own risk) Good cooling for you pc with better overall temp (mb, cpu, gpu, case, harddisk)than my x-crusier case. Comment:
This is a really good cooling case, if you looking for better temp for your pc, this is it. The new 25cm fan really made a huge diff in temp and if you buy this case, you should buy another i-cage for max temp reduction |
I got this case and the silver version and let me say this is an extreme computing dream! I have both systems water cooled and there is still boatloads of room to move around freely!
