Wow that is ugly. good airflow, but wow.
My big problem with thermaltake is their use of crap fans. I have a case of theirs and I had to replace all the fans as t hey were making a weird humming noise. Not a standard noise sound, but a weird, almost vibration sound.
I really think they tend to have some quality control issues.
I’ve actually built one of these last week.
Actually a really good case to build in, being completely disassemble helps heaps when plugging everything in and with cable management.
I don’t think it looks that bad really. Unlike the ugly as hell normal Armor Tower, this little box is robust and really tough actually.
Too fu*king heavy!
