Thermaltake has just released their new case series, called Armor. Available in two colors, black and silver, it has a side panel window and can hold both ATX and BTX motherboards. One of the main features of this new series is the ability to use standard cooling, water cooling or even passive cooling without having to change anything in the case, like drilling holes. The front panel buttons are relocatable and the slots for peripheral boards don't use screws, making it very easy to install new boards in your computer. You can open the case easily without using a screwdriver, since this case uses thumb screws. These are just some of the features of the new Armor series.
