Thermaltake Armor Revo Full-Tower Chassis Review

Front the front of the chassis we can see that the Revo has room for 4 optical drives, a huge air intake below that, a really nice logo stamped into the top and one of the unique features of the Revo are the curved wings you can see running down the left and right hand sides, these fold back on hinges and even after reviewing the case I’m not entirely convinced of their true purpose, fortunately they look really cool, so I’ll go with it.

Around the back of the case we can see there are three cut outs to help with installation of a water cooling system, a pre-installed 120mm fan, eight ventilated expansion slots and to the right of those a ventilation grill to aid with cooling, finally at the bottom you can see the cut away for the power supply.

Along the bottom of the case you can see am extra long air filter, which takes care of extra airflow for the powersupply, as well as providing an inlet for an additional fan.  You can also see the 4 fold out feet which dependant on your needs can be folder out to help prevent the case from being tipped over.

The top of the case has all kinds of things going on, we have a 140mm fan space at the back, a further 120mm fan space in front of that, a hard drive docking back, the usual compliment of audio jacks, e-sata connection, as well as a range of USB 2 and 3 sockets.  You’ll also find power, reset, fan speed and lighting controls on the left and right hand sides.

Along the side you’ll find another 140mm which comes pre-installed, a very cool window cut out on and a headset mount on the top right hand corner, and you can’t help but notice the very cool design that has been pressed into the side panel giving it a very menacing yet stylish finish.

The same design is carried over to the rear panel, things have been rotated but it does keep the theme flowing over the entire case nicely.
