Conclusion
The Thermaltake Armor A60 Gaming Mid Tower Chassis offers a lot of new features that we haven’t seen on any other cases. This is the first case that I’ve had to review that has USB 3.0 and/or a hot swappable drive. While I’m sure not a lot of people will use both of those features it’s nice to have a future-proof case that looks great and performs well.
With the capability of up to 7 fans being installed, plenty of advanced features, and a sweet looking case, this should be a pick for almost anyone. Since this case is new to the market it retails for $89.99, which is at about your mid-range price level for cases. Overall ThinkComputers would like to award the Thermaltake Armor A60 Gaming Mid Tower Chassis a 9 out of 10 score.
Pros:
- USB 3.0 port
- Hot Swap Drive Bay
- Black Interior
- Armored Design
Cons:
- Missing some tool-free installation components
I would have liked to see a larger cooler installed to see if the square hole is large enough to mount the back plate.And also to see if a large cooler would hit the top fan like other Thermaltake cases.
It is large enough to mount the backplate:

No fans are pre-installed (on the side panel), so you shouldn’t have any problems with height. Thermaltake has included a maximum height of CPU coolers to not exceed 180mm in height.
