Thermaltake Armor
I recently put together a home computer and I used the Thermaltake Armor case. I personally picked out this case because of its size - I did not want to run into problems where my parts did not fit. The case's size is one of its biggest advantages, it measures 20.9" x 8.7" x 22.1" (H x W x D) which is quite large. It is easy to work in even when you have a lot of components. You will not find yourself crammed or stuffed when screwing in different parts
The case comes with a "screwless" mounting system. This system works fairly well, but it does not reduce the vibration as much as normal screws do. Because of this, it’s really best to just use screws instead of the plastic clips.
With seven expansion slots the case has more than enough room for any typical computer. Also, with the 2 120mm fans and the 2 90mm fans there is plenty of air circulation for the case as well. In my house, the air that comes out always feel cold - my computer ends up being a little air circulation device for my room. But there is of course a downfall with there being so many fans - it is relatively loud. You can take out some of the fans which will raise the temperature and decrease the noise, but the case itself is only made out of thin aluminum so the noise is not muffled that well.
The front 120mm fan has a blue LED and so does the power light, this could only be a problem if you don’t want your computer to be a source of light in your house.
Overall, the case is very large and will most likely be more than large enough for anyone's typical computer.

i'm def not an expert on computer cases but this one sounds and looks great...thanks
sounds like you know what your talking about
Sounds interesting. Didn't realize the cases were that expensive though.
This sounds like a nice computer case! I like that it gives you plenty of room to work inside it with no cramping. :o) My Dad fixes computers and I know he's always trying to fit his big hands into the tiniest places.
I've heard mixed feelings on Thermaltake, but appreciate your opinion on the brand. Thanks!
sounds like a good case.i may have to get one.
This sounds like a pretty decent case for the price. The extra noise issue is pretty much the price that we pay to have lots of hot stuff in a cheaper case.
On my last Build I looked into this case..it had everything I needed space wise with plenty to spare, my cooler would of fit in this case with ease..the only reason I didnt buy it was price..looking back with the problems I had with the case I chose to use this case would of saved me alot of hassle.
