ThermalTake Armor JR Case Review

With this case it is easy to see why ThermalTake has so many awards. From the tool-less design to the space saving hard drive cages to the abundant cooling options. The build itself was easy and straightforward, once fully assembled the case was solid, often times you can see the weakness in poor craftsmanship in the case once the system is fully assembled. Thin metal or just straight out poor design shows through in the actual structural stability of a case. Poorly made cases are often wobbly and unstable. cooling performance was good The air moved by the large 120mm front and rear cooling fans provided enough cooling to keep the system cool, the addition of a liquid cooler was no problem for this case as the large amount of both active and passive air flow allowed the case to easily dissipate the heat generated by all of the components.

While I would not recommend this case for an ultra high end build as you should always be looking at a full size tower. I can confidently recommend this case to anyone building a mid range to higher end computer. It has a lot of nice features that you will not find in other cases in the same price range.
