Cons

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

Bad power button location and design
Large graphics cards will not fit, No space for dual radiators inside, Expansion slot covers cannot be secured properly for transport, Bumps instead of real spacers on tray, No more thumb screws included, Toolless system for HDD no good, No dust filter on
Thin case material may allow vibrations to resonate, Door can only open one way, fine unless you have the case on your right side, No fan controller, No cable hiding solutions, Window is a little small
Loose quick locks on drive bays, Leds can't be turned off, CPU cooler mounting hole isn't big enough
No cable routing holes in motherboard tray, No included thumb screws for holding expansion cards in place, Find More Reviews @ TestFreaks
Cannot fit longest video cards on the market. Front-panel ports are USB 2.0 only. PSU support bracket can be tricky to move. Semi-tool-free construction. Does not include brackets for installing 2.5-inch drives in 3.5-inch bays.

Window is Minuscule if you are a Showoff

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...

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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

If you think us computer/electronic reviewers are some kind of epic technogeeks with out-of-this-world powers composed of a completely different set of DNA than the general consumer, then you are only viewing a small part of a big picture. Yes, we do...
