PSU installation is made more difficult and time consuming
The Thermaltake Armor A90 turned out to be a very impressive case. The overall look, with the angled lines and blue LED fans, won us over. The wire management was new to us, with the solution being to the side of the HDD bay, instead of behind the mot...
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 ...
Easy to work with, Great finish and design, Good stock fans, SSD ready, Plenty of room,
Front bezel is plastic.
I really like this case as it has allot to offer to a casual and even hard core gamers. Armor A90 stands strong in the crowd and would be a great addition to any gamer. It was super easy to install the whole system and even the motherboard. The quality...

PSU installation is made more difficult and time consuming, PSU air intake filter is subpar, Drive bay tool free catches are kind of pointless

The Thermaltake Armor A90 is a lot more attractive in person than the promotional photos show. This isn't the first time I have seen cases which aren't very photogenic but are very striking once you see them in person. Understandably however, some pe...
The overall design is not overwhelming but it is also not a “cookie cutter” that can suit anyone. It will be up to individual’s own judgment. The consistent coloring from inside and out gives it extra professional look and I believe in gaming case des...
When I first pulled the A90 out of the box, I was somewhat underwhelmed by the simple looking design and even more underwhelmed by the wire management scheme chosen. While I can look past a somewhat plain design, I am a freak about wiring as a poor de...
The Armor A90 is a tribute to the hardcore gamer with the elite battle sense to push forward when others quit. A champion requires maximum performance from their system at all times. And, even as temperatures rise both in battle and within your enclo...
For $99, this mid-tower has a lot to offer; an aggressive and stylish design, room for more fans, and it's relatively spacious. It was pretty nice to see that Thermaltake included an eSATA port, which will probably make a cheap alternative to a hot-swa...
Excellent airflow system, Lightweight construction, Toolless optical and hard drive bays, Stylish and cohesive exterior and interior design, Affordable price
Bad power button location and design
The Armor A90 has many features that would entice any consumer. One of the case's key features is its unique exterior that looks like layers of armor on futuristic military equipment. The embossed and beveled side panels and side window also make it ...
