Conclusion:
The Thermaltake Armor+ really is one of the best computer cases we have ever seen, and we really mean that. While not completely flawless, there is very little not to like about this case. Although some might say that the sheer size and weight of the Armor+ are among the biggest disadvantages users will face, we believe them to be advantages of this case. Of course the weight can be a bit of a problem, as this case does weight 17kg before you put anything in it. However, because this is such a heavy case it is also very durable, as it is constructed from 1.0mm thick steel.
Conclusion:
This is a solid, well made case that’ll give you enough room to mount any component that you can think of with space to spare, combined with the cooling, this case is a winner.
Conclusion:
With plenty of cooling options, including a massive though quiet side fan, and a spacious interior that supports an amazing number of expansion slots and hard drives, the Armor+ casing will definitely appeal to both gamers and enthusiasts alike. Some of the features that we liked include the modern tool-free design which made assembling the system easier as almost everything could be done without a screwdriver (except for the PSU and motherboard)
Conclusion:
With Thermaltake Armor+ I haven't had time to idle or get bored by it. The case is simply amazing as it carries an updated Armor design and evolutionary solutions. You no longer have to dig inside it to fasten your motherboard and other devices; the removable motherboard tray helps you avoid it. It can be taken out really fast and once it's on your desk, putting everything together never got easier. The ten tool-free PCI slots are ready for any quad graphic configuration while the independent thermal management cools your CPU, VGA and HDD. As far as chassis goes, it's been fitted with cable management system, adjustable PSU supporting bridge and tool-free 5.25” installation.
There are lots of bits and pieces that make Armor+ stand out from the rest of the cases (dual drawers, Liquid Cooling System compatibility for example). I'm pretty sure I mentioned all of them throughout the article. However, I haven't found many negatives which kind of surprises me as it's hard to make an ideal and bulletproof enclosure.
The last thing I'd like to say is, there aren't many refresh / kicker products around that receive such high scores as this Thermaltake case.
For handful of upgrades, thoughtful design and quality finish, Thermaltake Armor+ gets the rating of 9.0 (Extremely Good) out of 10 and Bjorn3D Golden Bear Award The sliding motherboard tray also makes the casing a joy
to work with as it is pretty heavy and not having to move the casing around
while installing the motherboard is a huge plus point. Lastly, the adjustable
PSU bridge is another nice touch by Thermaltake, again making installation or
upgrading a PSU easy as cake.
Conclusion:
The Thermaltake Armor+ Case has tremendous bang for the buck. It's
loaded with features but affordable at the same time. There are plenty
of drive bays, lots of room to work, removable motherboard tray,
unbelievable air circulation, tooless design, and so much more.
Conclusion:
the VH6000BWS blew us away with its bevy of features and clever design.
With both the hardcore and beginner enthusiast in mind, Thermaltake has
created a unique enclosure that can either be gradually grown into, or
be greatly expanded upon depending on the enthusiast. Watercooling
primed, aircooling ready, this chassis affords an enthusiast at any
level a veritable plethora of options, and this is exactly what the
Thermaltake VH6000BWS excels at: it offers people options, the choice
and direction to do what they want with this case.
Conclusion:
The sliding motherboard tray also makes the casing a joy to work with as it is
pretty heavy and not having to move the casing around while installing the
motherboard is a huge plus point. Lastly, the adjustable PSU bridge is another
nice touch by Thermaltake, again making installation or upgrading a PSU easy as
cake.
Conclusion:
The most important characteristics of the Thermaltake Armor PLUS VH6000BWS are the mad quality of workmanship, enormous amounts of available space and the great aesthetics.
