The Thermaltake Armor A90 case is a great addition to the Armor series of cases truly. The case is very well made with a lot of room inside for larger video cards and lots of hard drives. The black on black and angular motif works very well together, ...
The Armor A90 case from Thermaltake retails for under $100. For that price you get some advanced features including water-cooling compatible holes, bottom mounted PSU, tool-less drive installation and more. Aesthetically, the case with its all black in...

Overall the Thermaltake Armor A90 is a solid case and is hard to beat for its sub-$100 price tag. It sports a unique look and it was nice to finally see a case manufacturer taking the time to paint the inside of the case as well. I had a hard time fi...
Abstract: A solid value overall, Thermaltake’s Armor A90 is an attractive gaming case. There won’t be a consensus on its angular design or copious use of plastic. But I think we can all agree that saving money on a well-built chassis means more is available for faster hardware. And that’s a good thing.
The Thermaltake Armor A90 is a very large, cool looking mid-tower chassis with all the features anyone could ask for, and for an amazing street price of the choice to purchase is down to personal preference in aesthetics. ...
Abstract: The case you choose for your PC always says something about you and the system inside it, but it doesn't always have to shout—sometimes conversational tones are more than enough. Priced at just $99 and looking more like a traditional case than a piece ...

Thermaltake's Armor A90 is a good-looking gaming case that's hampered by its inability to hold oversized videocards such as the ATI Radeon HD 5970. If you don't use cards of that length (and are never planning to), the Armor A90 may well have you cove...
The Thermaltake ARMOR A90 looks sharp with its angular aesthetic and blue LED fans. The all-black “bulletproof” armor design with metal mesh elements and an reinforced front door lend the ARMOR A90 a very stylish appearance that will likely appeal to ...
Unique design, Plenty of cooling, Room for 6 hard drives, Room for a 2.5-inch hard drive
No cable routing channels
Once again Thermaltake comes out with a new case that is quality and lives up to expectations. This case might not have all the features of other higher end cases that we have seen from Thermaltake, but you have to remember this case comes in at under...
Price, Tool less, All Black Interior, Unique design,
Window is Minuscule if you are a Showoff
Essentially you are getting a lot of full tower options in a budget mid tower case. The Thermaltake A90 is very unique in its aesthetics and for the most part a pretty decent performer. It is very reminiscent of 80's sci-fi and one might go as far to s...
