novaforme 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 Ok if any of you here are like me, you like to build computers. I have built several computers for people and loved doing every single one i built, i was looking for a new case to build my next personal computer in and i ran accross this monster from thermaltake. The Armor VA8000 Series, which can be found here http://www.thermaltake.com/home.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/xaserCase/armors/va8000bws.htm When I first saw this thing i was like wow but when i read what some of the features were i was like *beep* *beep* the sweetist part about it is the fact that you can get one in the soon to me standard BTX Form Factor, Let me know what you fellow computer nerds think.

alperuzi 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 oh my, sorry I'm putting this in here but I just got the coolest idea!do you see the photo for number 12 of the detailed features? The side panel lock... It looks exactly like a car key with remote controlled door locks.Now that is exactly what I want, a remote controlled power button.The case looks pretty good btw, I don't even want to hear its price... I always go for no-name brands and then hack them myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think that is very chip , I used 3.4Mhz processor 1024mb memory 128mb video card and 2 pcs of 80gb hardisk. At first I found it so hard to build cause all parts need the right place. but if you can see my computer you maybe laugh on me but this is a very high powered computers I've ever built. I am not saying that this is the best but I love to personalize my computers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
serverph 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2005 how about a "Casefancasefancasefancasefancase..."??? don't know what it is? if you think it's a computer case made entirely out of cooling fans, then you're correct! extreme mod to cool off that smoldering PC of yours. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/just thought i'd add this link to this thread instead of creating a new thread. perhaps we can build a link directory of sorts for case mods we chance upon.

JC05 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2006 That is a thing of beauty! I have seen some like it though. You can now get water cooled cases for a couple hundred. ok maybe not a couple but around 300-400 dollars. I would love to build a computer but I have no customers yet.

( i have made one using it as a template, but to tell you the truth it sucked since i was not good at wood work. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kawasu 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2006 hmm... i actually think the armor case looks pt crud. its way over the top and to me, really dam ugly. i'm not too much a lover of led fans either, this thing would light the whole room up at night. i like leaving my pc on when i sleep, so you see what my problem is. if you're comparing looks alone i'd go with the antec nine hundred case, looks a whole lot better than the armor. its downfall is its very old style of screwing everything in place. no clicking all your hdds/dvd-roms in place as we're used to with most modern cases.my personal choice, well the case i'm going to use for my next computer is probably going to be an antec 180. its slick, the interior spacing is great and it gives an overall professional look. if not the 180, my next preference would have to go to the coolermaster cm stackers series. either of the two are nice, alot better than the armor series neway. i've always thought thermaltake to be pretty dodgy chassis manufacturers. don't ask me why, i just dont trust them. love they're cooling systems though, i have a silent tower myself; works a charm.i guess it all comes down to personal preference, i like my cases more simplistic and manageable. putting led fans and fluorescent lights takes it way overboard.. its a case, as long as the parts inside work diligently i couldn't care less how they were stored. although i do consider airflow and circulation.
