But itÂ’s pretty ugly. And noisy.
When it comes down to it though, itÂ’s obvious that only a certain type of person is going to be interested in the Armour+ - those who really enjoy showing off their over stylised cases at big LAN events. ItÂ’s all about the e-peen.
The ThermalTake Armour+ is a good case and ticks nearly all the boxes, but for me personally it is let down by a horrible look, bizarre doors which really, honestly, confound me and the fact that it’s a bit too noisy. Factor into that the price as well, realising that for £20 less you could get a far classier and quiter case like the Antec P182 ($60 less in the US) and the ThermalTake Armour+ is a bit less overwhelming.
Still, itÂ’s a decent enough chassis I suppose, so if you can look past the noise or if you happen to think that the design is actually quite snazzy then you may do well to big one up before the design stops evolving and just goes extinct instead."
