Thermaltake Armour Jr Airflow??

Hi guys,
Thinking about upgrading my cheap case to the thermaltake armour jr. Just wondering what the airflow was exactly like in the case, I know it has a dual 12cm fans, but I?ve read some reviews online and they only comment on what the case is like to build a system with. I?m a little concerned about the front fan being flush against the sideways mounted HDD cage, and I would think that this would inhibit air drawn in from the front. Also I know there is a vent on the side of the case, and was wondering if this can be used to house an additional side fan, and if so what size?

Any info would be appreciated

Thanks, M
 
Welcome to the AT forums. Looks like it might be a little tight for long video cards - other than that, it's a nice case. I prefer the black one w/o the window, but that's just me. The chassis on the black ones are steel and feel sturdier. Steel also is usually less noisy than aluminum - especially as think as Tt uses on the silver version (0.8 mm aluminum will likely seem flimsy). It has all of my casitude criteria except one (it has mesh front inserts so any available noise from inside the case will come right at you) and adds some more neat features. It's a good value for money.

Since you are looking in t his price range, don't forget to take a look at the iStar Nitro and the Aerocool CoolView (gives you a $40. GateWatch fan controller/temp monitor basically for free) before shelling out the green...
