This summer we have seen a real surge in new cases, Thermaltake have been amongst the brands to bring to us the Armor series. The smallest of the Armor variety is the A60. Some may like its looks, some may hate it. Personally I'm right down the middle.

The A60 has some excellent features such as the inventive SideClick Easy Swap function - hot swap your 3.5" in and out of the case quickly and easily. Tool-less ingenuity is prevalent throughout with the optical drives also being easy to take in and out. Not only are there physically great functionality but there is also USB3 support with the A60. Something we like to see on new cases.



Where the A60 falls down is the unnecessary messing about with the PSU bracket to get the unit inside the case. With new builds you want to get things in easily, not have the hassle of aligning a bracket in a specific spot in order to get the PSU to sit correctly. Not only this, there are no rubber insulating materials around this area so when you come to slot the PSU in - its metal-on-metal. Expect scratching.

The Armor A60 is a good case but it is let down by a few things - there is no SSD support, the backplate cut-out is quite tight and there is limited areas for arranging cables. It doesn't fail as an enclosure, it just falls short on a few minor things.
