Thermaltake Armor A60 AMD LEO Edition VM200P1W2Z Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case w/ Side Swap HDD tray & front USB 3.0 port

Pros: Lots if room for an easy build. Plenty of ventilation with large diameter fans (quieter). The included fans are of the type that plug into the motherboard so they can be automatically controlled by the MB. Good looking case except for the AMD promo logo on the side, but I have an ATI (AMD) video card so I can get used to that.

Audio, Mike, USB3 and eSATA ports on the front. Slide in tool less drive bays. Cable routing behind the MB is convenient, but a bit tight. Very adequate for my build.

Cons: May not hold super mondo video cards or ultra-tall CPU heat-sinks. If planning a MONSTER build, check the dimensions carefully. Cable routing behind the MB is tight, have to be careful to avoid criss-crossing round power supply cables or it will bulge the door. With care on cable runs and connecter orientation it works, just have to plan a bit.

Other Thoughts: I'm running the i7 3770K CPU with the stock cooler and the temperatures are fine. Only modest overclocking though. Also have an HIS IceQ X Turbo H679QNT1G2M Radeon HD 6790 Video Card that is 10.24" x 5.59" x 1.65" that has over 2 1/2" to spare before running into the drive bays, so I'm estimating you could put in a video card up to 12.75" long. Stock fan has slight wobble, but still running fine.

Pros: The drive bays , the looks ,the room this is by far the best case I have ever used for a build (wish it was for me ) I have use 20 or more cases from newegg but this one is a step above every one .

Cons: It wasn't a build for me

Other Thoughts: easy in and out drive bays and rom. The room in this thing is awesome . Every thing just fits so easy . Looks great inside and out

Pros: *The cases' bright red front design
*Side click easy swap hard drive bay
*Three pre-installed fans (2 exhaust, 1 intake)
*The cool transparent red tinted side view panel
*Big size for a "Mid Size" case
*Many other "pros"

Cons: *The side panel is kind of "wiggly" (I don't know if this is usual cause this will be my first computer build)
* Doesn't make me a sandwich*

Other Thoughts: Personal Thoughts-I really loved this case the first time I opened it, the first thing that caught my eye was the red color on the front of the case.The second was the design, the design was "popped out" triangle sinking into the case. Another thought was that the easy swap bay is king of useless, its useful if your going to have an extra hard drive and a SATA cable constantly hooked up to that bay, other than that my opinion is that its kind of useless.I Paid a decent amount of money for this case, and for my first build I doubt I'm going to regret it.

Pros: Roomy perfect size light for its size & sturdy. looks sexy, hot swappable drive I've barley used. love the plastic holders for HDD's. really good airflow. have low temps run prime 95 4.0 ghz and get 43 C max. and MOBO is around 30 -40 C.
fits just about any size MOBO idk aobut server's though. my H70 water cooler fits beautifully inside the unit. cable management is great if you have a zillion zip ties and OCD tendencies. plenty room for PSU extra cords on the bottom.

Cons: usb 3.0 port for the front has a blue cord that has to get plugged into the back of my mother board through the liquid cooling holes. the bottom pegs aren't long enough to allow airflow for the PSU on the bottom if you have carpet. but PSU still works and chugs away. hot swap bay wasn't meant for SSD or 2.5 HDD's.

Other Thoughts: some computer cases you trade good looks for quality of product that is not the case here. you get the best of both worlds.
wish it had more fans that came with it. haven't found another Thermaltake 120 mm top fan with red led, almost instinct. I bought one side fan for GPU, one front fan for HDD's. totally worth the purchase. would buy again if it wasn't too cheshay. final note I had hard time closing the GPU side door when i realized i sometimes get wires in the way or need to take it out and reclose it for the screws to align on back not a real inconvenience, over time you learn how to shut it right.

Pros: For a mid to high priced case, this one has everything I wanted.

- Black interior with quick locking HD's
- Cable Management with plenty of space
- Side panel cut out (This is HUGE for me. Easily swap a hard drive in an out of your system). Directly connecting to a SATA port allows for huge transfer rates. I won't use USB hard drives again.
- Beautiful design and color, I was very surprised to see what it looked like outside the pictures, and I was impressed.
- Width is not as wide as the Corsair 600T Graphite that I was looking at, which means it fits in the desk I'm using perfectly.
- All LED's and buttons work out of the box.

Cons: - Removing the front plate is almost too easy. You grab it from the bottom and it snaps out. I was worried about it until I realized I should just avoid grabbing it from the front.
- Unfortunately I can't use my 2.5'' HD on the side panel slide in. The reason is because attaching to the clips means that the HD won't line up with the SATA connectors. I was going to ad my 2.5'' to 3.5'' bracket, but the bracket isn't compatible with the sliding HD brackets. So I ended up just using a normal slot and wiring into the motherboard like the other HD's.

Other Thoughts: Definitely worth the money. If I had to do it over again, I would easily make the decision. I think I got it for $75 on sale, which made this purchase a must have for me.

Also, Newegg must have made a very small profit margin on this, because the case was shipped in the original box, no packaging. They literally took the case box from the manufacturer and slapped a shipping label on it. It was pretty mangled, but everything works so I can't complain. I hope no one gets a bad shipping experience!

Pros: Very Very roomy and easy to work with. Have Phenom 965 with stock cooler, bought 3 more Thermal take red Led case fans to fill it out. Use asus motherboard with Asus Gtx 550ti vid card. System idle temp around 32c. Love the side hot swap hdd bay. Overall well built solid case. Only tool I needed during my build was a screwdriver to install motherboard.

Cons: none

Pros: Space, ventilation, USB3.0, looks

Cons: large, red, some PSUs mount from the bottom awkwardly

Other Thoughts: Great overall case, LOVE the quick detatch HDD feature, Seemingly INFINITE space for fans, (I am running 5 large cooling fans.) Has a HUGE red LED 250mm on top. LOVE the holes for my liquid cooling system. overall great case, and for the price, would recommend!

Pros: Black steel interior is nice, The AMD logo on the front is cool, I like the lion painted on the side. Looks to be pretty good about cable management. removaeble filter on the front is a must have for anybody serious about maintenance on their rig.

Cons: For the price I expected a little higher quality, the front panel looks glossy red in the pictures, it is actually not 100% opaque, and looks a little pinkish in normal lighting, it's not a true pink, but not a true red either. The hot swap has a door on a springed hinge covering the outside, well the trays they provide stick out from the HDD encloser enough that the door hits on the HDD tray, and makes it VERY hard to use, altough it is still useable.

Other Thoughts: honestly for this kinda money go somewhere else. I'm not unhappy enough to return it, but I'm not very happy with it.

Pros: Very appealing appearance with a nice color scheme and LEDs.
Plenty of room and fan options for optimal airflow.
A lot of internal drive bays (6 of them) and no need for 2.5" mounting brackets.
Bottom mount PSU with adjustable PSU bracket.
Removable air filters in the front and bottom of the case.
Good cable management options (lots spots to tie to and can run cables behind the motherboard tray).
Fantastic quality case for the price (I only paid $70.00 USD for mine).

Cons: Weak fans. The two LED fans have poor quality molex connectors which I had a terrible time connecting to my PSU. The larger fan doesn't move much air at all for its size. And it's not truly 200mm so it can't be replaced with a similar sized fan. There are at least mounting holes for replacing it with a 120mm fan but it won't look as good.

The swing-style side panels are a bit of a design flaw. Unless you hold them up while removing the screws, they actually fall downward before swinging open. This bends the metal at the bottom of the hinge each time this happens. They can be bent back into place fairly easily but this will weaken the metal over repeated practice.

One of the thumb screw holes on my case is slightly out of alignment and I have to use a flat-head to remove it.

The paint on the metal frame chips easily.

The hot-swap bay door seems a bit silly because you still have to open the case to remove the drive.

Other Thoughts: Despite the apparent flaws, I'm very happy with this chassis and would definitely recommend it. It looks great, feels solid and accommodates my components fabulously. As long as I'm cautious while removing the side panel half of the flaws I mentioned won't affect me. My only real disappointment is not having a better option for the unimpressive included top fan.

Pros: 1) Fans are fairly quiet.
2) Hot-swappable bay is a nice touch.
3) Easy to route cables within the case.
4) The color scheme. Red accent and red LEDs. It might be too conspicuous for some, but it suits me fine.

Cons: 1) The front panel USB 3.0 is actually a cable that routes to the external port on the I/O header on the backside. The cable runs through the inside of the case, and sometimes will block the topside exhaust fan blades. I wish / I had thought that it connected to an internal port on the motherboard.

2) The LED in front to indicate power status is too bright. It illuminates my entire bed at night. Totally unexpected. Put something translucent over it.

Other Thoughts: Overall a good buy. I have an i7-3770k inside this AMD-branded case.
