Thermaltake Armor Revo Snow Edition Case Review

Drives in the six internal drive bays are installed into the six locking drive trays.  Each tray will securely hold a 3.5" drive using the side clips.  These clips snap into place and include vibration dampening washers.  To install a 2.5" drive you will need to use the included screws to hold the drive to the bottom of the tray.

Exhaust duties are handled by a rear 140mm fan (rated at 1000 rpm and 16 dBA) and another top mounted 200mm Blue LED fan (the same 600-800 rpm, 13-15 dBA model).  The back fan does not share the nice notched design as its larger brothers but should handle the airflow due to its faster speed.  

The top of the case does support a second fan in a 120mm or 140mm size though it's a tight fit against the back of the drive cage at 140mm.  There are three 1 inch gasket ports for water-cooling in the top of the case between the two fans.  This is a nice location for running top radiators and will support a double size radiator mounted internal or external.  

The question now is, does anyone make a radiator in any color other than black??

To test the ATX installation we mounted the ASUS Rampage 4 Extreme Motherboard with a Thermaltake Frio Advanced Heatsink.  The Frio Advanced measures in at 130.6(L) x 122(W) x 159.4(H) mm (with 2 Fans).  As you can see here there is plenty of clearance even before we take into account the extra space provided by the door design.

Installing a MSI R7970 video card was easy due to the 12.9" (330CM) clearance offered by the deeper design of the chassis.  The Revo Snow supports 8 external expansion slots and supports 3-way SLI with ease.
