Thermaltake Armor Extreme Edition VA8004BWS Black 1.0mm SECC Chassis/ Aluminum Front Bezel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: The case inside is large good the design is good

Cons: Okay so I have a 800 watt powersupply which is not that big.But it dosent fit where the power supply should fit its so stuiped they make a big case but not enough for powersupply

So I keep the ps outside and having to be able to keep my case side window clossed its so i hate it

Pros: I'm in love with the size and space inside. Great airflow dropped my Cpu temp 5 deg C from my last Mid tower case, and 10 overall Chassis temp. Lots of room to get your hands in there and solid construction. Adjustable depth side vents are nice.

Cons: HEAVY, lol 40lbs empty isnt light but what do i know. Had to unsecure the top I/O panel to get my p/s in but its not hard and any moron can do it.

Other Thoughts: Asus Mvp-Delux 790fx motherboard
AMD 9850 Phenom 2.5Ghz (@2.8Ghz)
HIS Ati HD 3870 512mb X2
Rosewill 950w power supply
4 gigs of GSkill 800mhz
Thermaltake Bigwater cooling system
22" Acer lcd widescreen

Pros: Plenty of room, sturdy construction, toolless HDD cage, looks nice...

Cons: The BTX connectors on the inside panel may short a MOBO--my case didn't come with mylar patches and my manual made no mention of the patches.

Silly looking "wings" on front of case have weak magnets.

Top USB connector had to be replaced.

Other Thoughts: A pretty decent case if it weren't for the idiotic BTX slot problem--can fry your mobo.

I was able to install two, yes TWO, 120mm CPU coolers in my case after I removed the rear exhaust fan (reversed the clip and it mounted perfectly on outside of case...).

I wish Thermaltake offered a replacement door for this case (w/out the dual FX vent setup--I know I can take the tubes out but I'd rather have one large fan) if I decide to go with a different mobo.

AMD abandoned the FX platform so I'll wind up turning this into my game/web server.

Pros: This is an awesome case in every aspect except for the side panel. The Concept is great, but Thermaltake's execution was shoddy. My friend and I both ordered the Full tower Armor series, but he got the VA8003Bws And I got this one.

Cons: I was disappointed to find that there were no fans in the air ducts, and that even with several case fans, the ducts drew little air at all.
Also, I resorted to ordering the 250mm Fan version of the side panel for this PC (which comes with the VA8003), and was much happier with the results, and happier with the fact that I was able to fit my new heatsink in without the obstruction of both massive and near useless air ducts. For your own sake, just order the VA8003BWS if you like the design of this case.

Other Thoughts: The small compartment on the front of the case is Much more useful than I would've ever expected, and the amount of room provided for HardDrives and CD/DVD RWs is awesome. I doubt you will ever have a problem configuring a PC with this case.

Pros: Plenty of room to install hardware. The air ducts can be removed and replaced with 92mm fans. (I stuck 92mm Vantec Tornado fans in and they fit fine).
Fits an 8800gt with plenty of room to spare. Seems pretty durable.

Cons: Lousy documentation. Spent about an hour trying to figure out how to mount the powersuppy with the included power support.

Whats with the doors? They don't conceal the drives nor do they make them accessable?

The powersuppy mounts vertically not horizontally. This is a problem if you have a wider than normal powersupply.

Other Thoughts: First one I got had a huge dent in it, but Newegg was awesome on getting me a refund to get a replacment. Thanks Newegg!

Pros: Lost of room, drives were a snap to install. The screwless expansion lockdown was nice, except I had to remove due to the video card.

Cons: PSU was a complete pain to install, mounts sideways, this could be a problem as this puts the fan from the PSU blowing onto the hard drives.

Other Thoughts: I bought this case as part of a whole new build - Q9300, striker II formula, 9800GX2 - Black edition, 4GB corsair dominator. Over all it's a great case minus the weight, I agree that it needs handles. Later I will be converting to a liquid cooling so this case will come in handy for that.

Pros: Lots of room to insert drives and mobo

Cons: Fans are not very good at moving air through the system. The USB wires (why do cases do this??) are not a simple plug but rather individual pin connectors. Same for IEEE-1394. HD led connector is a 3pin but most cards are a two pin. You are likely to play doctor to make it work. Clips instead of screws to hold PCI cards secure are cheesy.

Other Thoughts: For the price it's still not a bad case. It's heavy with more steel than aluminium so it's going to retain heat so if you're an overclocker this may not be for you unless you replace the fans.

Pros: Very good room enough for motherboard.

Cons: Todays gaming computers need huge power supplys and an 850 watt cant fint in it what kind of gaming fulll atx tower is it?

Other Thoughts: terrible

Pros: very well constructed. wires Easily identifiable. if your looking into a case that locks and keeps the valuables safe then look at this unit

Cons: case was a bit on the heavy side when it was empty.

Other Thoughts: after putting the power supply in i found there was a metal box on the inside of the case that was removable. reason for removing was to get better air flow going into the power supply it's self.i really like the tray found at the bottom for small item storage.

Pros: Comes with 4 large fans that are very quiet. Has lots of room and easy to remove HDD holder with a fan attach. The front looks slick with the grid like covers that can be reinserted if need be. The storage bin at the bottom is nice.

Cons: The audio on the case does not with my motherboard, EVGA nForce 780i sli, even though both manual say they are compatible. The firewire is a pain to hook up to the motherboard since all the wires are separated. It would be nice to provide a block to make it easier to install. The tool free clamps for the cards make it harder to install the larger graphic cards nowadays.

Other Thoughts: I love the case, even though it is larger than some full towers. At first hard to get the power supply in.
