Default Silverstone Tj-06 VS. Thermaltake Armor(56k 2 pics)



These Are The Cases I Have Narrowed Down My Decision Too.

Silverstone:
I love the weird design
Big case
Full Clear Side Window

ThermalTake:
Looks Great On The Outside
But very Dull and Plain On the Inside
Great Airflow through the front


Now Tell me which you would buy if you had the money. I turn my Purchase over to OCN. Please Help More responses the less I have to be worried.

I say get the Silverstone simply on the basis of you should step out of the norm of everyone getting a TT Armor case which everyone does or says to. Besides that wind tunner over the cpu will cool very nicely i would assume.

Silverstone TJ-07.

You may want to check the Enermax MaxFlow as well. Looks like Silverstone TJ-06 internally.

Someone here has the Silverstone and they were complaining about high temps, it seem from what I remember cooling is better without the tunnel.
The Silverstone, is that an inverted ATX design?

I say Armor, only because I have one

I love my Armor, but it's a very hard choice, they're both amazing cases.


I say TJ-06 just to be different.

You haven't looked at my case mod log, then.

I suggest you go with the Armor. It is much more customizable! It is very easy to hide cables you aren't using if you don't have a modular PSU, and there is enough room to make your own separate air flow channels for the PSU/HDDs and CPU like I have done:
http://www.overclock.net/case-mod-wo...ive-armor.html

It is far from boring on the inside if you put just a little bit of effort and forethought into making it better.

Did you look at my setup? Still not impressed? Go with the Silverstone if you want; they make great products! I have several Silverstone products in my Thermaltake Armor. All I can tell you is there isn't anything I can't do with my Armor.
