In this review we will be looking at the Thermaltake Armor A60, this is a smaller version of the popular Armor A90 and appears to be designed to fulfill the role of an inexpensive gaming and general purpose chassis with an emphasis on cooling and convenience.
Today we are going to take a look at a new case from Thermaltake called the Armor A60. Thermaltake has long made great cases with plenty of cooling options and modern looks. I have seen and used a few of their cases over the years and have been looking forward to seeing what they have come up with now. The Armor A60 is a variant of the original A90 that we looked at a couple of months ago. The new A60 has a lot of the same style but there are several differences such as a SideClick EasySwap design and USB 3.0, just to name a few.
The Armor A60, like the A90 chassis from Thermaltake proves itself to be a bit of a mixed bag, but most of the bag was good. There is room for lots of hardware in the A60, with three big bays and six HDD mounts be they 3.5- or 2.5-inch. The “SideClick” feature will also be a draw for some users.
The Armor A60 mid-tower case has the quality and features that people expect from Thermaltake. The interior is roomy and will fit almost all modern video cards. The inclusion of USB 3.0, keyboard/mouse security lock, and the SideClick hard drive tray shows how Thermaltake is looking forward rather than keep everything as is.
Thermaltake is one of those companies that constantly pumps out fresh designs, if there is a hole in the market then Thermaltake will be there. The current market trend in gaming cases that I have observed lately is an extravagant exterior, a painted interior and a bottom mounted PSU. Thermaltake have Introduced the Armor A90 VL90001W2Z Mid Tower Case into the enthusiast segment priced competitively at $79.99 and if you do your shopping you can get a better deal still. Along with a great exterior design, a fully painted exterior and a bottom mounted PSU, the Thermaltake Armor A90 also gives you a place to mount your 2.5" SSD/HDD, tool free drive installation for three 5.25" drives and six 3.5" HDD's, a front door covering your optical drive bays, support for watercooling and an easily removable front panel with removable air intake filter. Benchmark reviews has the Armor A90 under the spotlight, to see whats good and whats not ple! ase read on...
Computer cases take on a variety of shapes and sizes and while a majority of those designs tend to be classified as a "mid tower" however the terms is very loosely followed given that most cases focus on providing the very most in the smallest chassis possible. So what was once features only for full tower case.
With the Armor A90, Thermaltake took a step away from the styling of past Armor series cases and if you ask me it’s a winner. The exterior use of triangular shapes helps liven things up without being too flashy. Inside the A90 is painted all in black and carries tool free designs in all of the drive bays.
I believe that majority of computer enthusiasts want a case that has had plenty of thought put into it. Small features that make system builder's life easier, and manageable interior space that makes for a clean build. Thermaltake continually makes improvements on their cases and they put more thought in each new release. One of their latest is the Armor A90.
You may have noticed this new chassis shares the series of another chassis that Thermaltake designed a few years ago. The original armor series had wings on the sides that would open out, exposing the all ventilated front bezel. The insides were left exposed with no paint, and there was a strange dual window in the door that showed just as much of the drive racks as it did the components. This new submission shares its bases in naming of the series only. While it is from the same manufacturer, don't expect this new submission to be a revised Armor, as it is more an Element series design with a twist.
There is room for lots of hardware in the A90, with three big bays and six HDD mounts including a placement for a 2.5-inch drive. It is lightweight but sturdy and relatively easy to work in. The cooling was great and the look, in my opinion, is very appealing.
