I really like my armor case. Not for everyone as they are huge, but if you want lots of space for upgrades and such, they are great.
I really like the slide-out mobo tray and drive bays on the new version.
I may have to get one when they come out, and sell my current one

well.......I have an Armor case, and I love it, enough room for upgrades, lots of space to put you hands in, vs struggling to find the connectors, able to hide all the cables, it's just amazing.
In my opinion a computer case is never big enough, and it was money well spent on it.
Anyone that has doubts, trust me you will not regret it.

Dude speaking of huge cases, that new armor+ is friggin gigantic. It's gotta be at least 6" taller than the old (look at how many front 5.25" drive bays and rear PCI openings it has.
It also tapers backwards, and isn't wide enough to fit the extra rear 90mm exhaust fan from original (as well as the fact that they turned the psu slot back flat again).
But, the modularity, amazing space, customizability, and styling make that thing waaaay appealing.
Dang, I was just about to buy an armor too, wonder when this thing comes out retail.

Available Early October... hmmmm, I'll prolly purchase current armor for build now, then upgrade to armor+ & sell other on eBay as quick as I can haha.
