Right, I seem to have fallen in love with this case.

A few things though.

On the front, there are two panels at the side, those open outwards. Where does that mesh type thing go?

Does it come off when you nee to access the fans, or is it more like a door thing, the picture s on Thermaltake's site point to the fan access, but I want to know for sure.

Also, it says "Relocate-able 12CM Blue LED fan" Can you put more than one there, if you aren't using all the 5.25" drive bays?

Is there any chance someone with one of these cases could post some pictures?

Also, are there any really bad/good points I should know before buying?

The mesh are individual pieces that can be removed to put 5.25 drives in.

The just pop right out.

Yes, you need to order a mount to put more then 1 fan in htat case.  A friend got the armor case and had to buy the "Mount".  Don't recall what it is, however he found it on Thermaltakes site.

Great case all the way around, I have nothing bad to say about it.  Lots of room, not to heavy (The aluminum one that is), easy maintance and lots of room to modify.  Great case.  I iwll own this one a long time.

Gl and have fun

@ Stealth420 - Thanks man, +1, It's almost what I thought.

@jaymz9350 - Actually, a good Idea, I'll look into it.

@Techworld - I don't care.

Also, with the LCS version, is the Liquid cooling any good? (I'm assuming it's a CPU and one GFX card, whould I be correct?)

I was thinking about liquid cooling in my new rig, but wouldn't know where to start...

He he, I like it.  Only problem would be the noise it would create.  120mm spins quick, and it would cause quite the vicration is it is not securly tied down.  Or not, haven't accualy tried it.

Still, love the picture in my head of it.

it doesn't make anymore noise than if it was screwed into the case. i have the zipties pulled pretty tight (used needle nose pliers)  i just didn't want to pay for another one of the harddrive cages just to mount a fan.

Case is good, LCS that comes with it is alright, although you MUST change a rad.  It's a POS.  Just read my thread.  It's a good starter system, however you can "build your own" for the same ammount and get a much better LCS.

Extreme Overclockers Forums (Liquid Cooling) Basic FAQ sticky:
http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/s … p?t=176597

First line "DO NOT BUY A KIT"

With that said, the Armor LCS kit is pretty damn good for "a kit".  Again, you must get a new single pass radiator if you go that route.

Read the faq and you will get a good understanding of everything.

Good lusk and have fun
Chris

Bearing in mind I have no experience with Liquid cooling, was this easy to set up?

Also, is there a Radiator you could suggest that wouldn't require any modding to get it to fit?
