Really the Armor A90 is a good all-rounder, offering an impressive feature set, great looks and an affordable price tag. Our only real gripe is that while the black paint job looks great on the inside, the lack of cable management really undoes this. Creating a clean build with the Armor A90 is not an easy task, and while it can be done, the user must carefully plan out where they run certain cables.

Looks okay but the window needs to be bigger for sure! |

Guess who just found their new computer case. This is awesome timing I just bought the new hardware for my Phenom II X6 build and was in need of a slick looking case. |

I dig the tool less slots.. But overall doesnt seem much different than the Antec 900 |

It looks pretty cool but the new Cooler Master and Antec cases that have been announced over the last week look heaps better IMO. |

Instead of constantly commenting on the lack of cable management Steve should have looked at Thermaltake's website. It plainly shows 'Hidden cable shelter behind drive bays for cable management' for the A90. Maybe someone with a little more experience should be doing case reviews. |

@ Kensai - LOL before you try and convince everyone that you are intelligent Steve did say they can be put there but its still messy and they run across the motherboard. If you actually read the review and checked out the pictures you will see that Steve did tuck the extra cables away next to the drive bays, still looked crap. |

Kensai if you want to call stuffing the cables next to the drive bays cable management then good luck to you. This is not real cable management and it looks like a mess, the very thing good cable management should avoid. You sound like you are that person with a little more experience so do you want to submit your take on the Thermaltake Armor A90? I am just not sure how well you will go with the enthusiasts when you start calling random gaps in cases where cables can be stuffed cable management, even if that is what the manufacturer is trying to call it :P |

I agree this case has no real cable management. Cases with good CM do not have power cables running across the motherboard, that is the very definition of bad management. Great review thanks. |
