Most mini towers claim to be designed with both gaming and HTPC use in mind, but the Thermaltake Armor A30 makes no such promise. Instead, it is strictly a gaming chassis designed for LAN party goers. We feel gamers will be attracted to the Armor A30's near shoebox-sized design that can accommodate high-end hardware such as the AMD Radeon HD 5970, today's largest consumer graphics card.
The Armor A30's proposition is made even more compelling when you consider the number of powerful microATX motherboards available these days that support high-end Core i5, Core i7 and Phenom II X6 processors.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
I bought the case 2 weeks ago, but was very disappointed once I had finished my build. As a matter of fact, I'm replacing it next week by an NZXT Vulcan (other alternative was a Lian-Li PC-V354).
Not only do the 2 rear 90mm fans emmit quite a bit of noise, the case features a horrible design flaw. Depending on your PSUsize (mounted at the top), almost 50-70% of the 200mm top exhaust fan is blocked. As a consequence, the back of the case(mostly between CPU and PSU) is heating up as the rear 90mm fans are unable to expulse that much hot air... while the front of the case remains super cool. Needless to add that the rising temperature increases fan speed of the CPU and GPU cooler resulting in... even more noise.
I was looking for a solid, (relatively) quiet, transportable LAN PC but ended up with an ill designed noisy case.
