It seems I'm one of the few who actually quite like the look of that case. It was one of the two cases I was considering when I finally get around to upgrading my system (although I think I've decided to go for the Coolermaster Cosmo instead).
The tool-less drive bays look a lot better than the ones on my current case (TT Xaser III - which refuses to hold a half length Front-X USB bay).
I agree that the plastic flaps on the front need to go though, but I like the fact that you can re-arrange the front of the case so that the optical drives can go anywhere on it.
Is it just me or is this the same case as my Cooler Master Stacker CMS 830 covered in plastic to drive the price down? Oh no it couldn't be, It's the Cooler Master Stacker 810. Thermaltake get your own design and pick something original, like my next case the "U2-UFO Brushed Aluminum" (Google it). Or steal designs from someone smaller than Cooler Master, like someone in the modding section of bit-tech.net
I still think that WMD modd was is the best ever.

The fact that the case looks ugly to you might not be the case with the next person, I however like the Antec P180-190.
Dude, shut up!! how much more 'subjective' do you want Bit-Tech to be, they clearly said several times that it wasn't to their tastes and that other people might like it...
Is it just me or does Joe do all the work around here? Every review and news article seems to be from him at the moment. This is a Good Thing. Keep it up.

he must have drawn the short straw on who gets the extra long xmas holiday!!
Not sure i really like any thing on this case, ok the inside is well setup for an air cooling layout, not much oppourtunity for a decent water cooling setup though, and the exteriour is plain ugly
Thermaltake should really change its line of cases. This design has serious flaws: the hard drive cage is mounted transversally and this translates into inadequate cooling for the hard drives, the fan grills are restrictive.
The hdd rack seems like something that could be useful, but as for everything else, the stacker 830 does it better. plus it has a door that is a door, a real mans door that requires the pinky strenght of a rock climbing jazz pianist to open! A case that would make Jeremy Clarkson proud, the Armour seems to be a bit Richard Hammond to me.
Dont really like the case, but nice read none the less. On the pic of the external ports on the front of the case (first page), someone got caught snapping if you look in the bottom right.....photos are usaully good here, someone should mentor a little more.....and give the case a dust down too. :P
What's with those silly flaps on the front? Other than those this case reminds me too much of the Antec 900 - I liked that case when I saw it (and even defended it when it got a not so great review) but after installing a system in one I wasn't too impressed.

I like the internal's of the case, its only the outside that let it down for me.
