Thermaltake Armor and Hiper Type-R 580w PSU

Tom|Nbk · 30 Mar 2006 at 22:47

ok so i have a Hiper Type-R 580W PSU what im wanting to know is if anyone else has the same setup and if the psu cables are actually long enough!, im after the black case does this have any negatives other than its heavier than the aluminium silver case? also does anybody know why the stock levels are so low in the uk for the Armor, have they stopped making it? :rolleyes:

the cables are plenty long enought... mobo mounts top left... no difference except color and yes it weights more than my car

That case I know fits all of Antec, Tagans and Seasonics offerings so I see no reason why it will not fit the Hiper.

Have not used the combination personally as I think there are better options for both out there after using the Hiper I was left rather dissapointed by its terrible noise levels, yet others say it is quiet.

well mines super quiet so thats ok, just worried about the modular cables not being long enough :confused:

They should be fine, I am sure you could buy a extension cable aswell

so you have the thermaltake armor and the hiper type r modular and the black version weighing in at 17kg im not suprised it weighs more than your car

The case is nothing unusual, it should fit in quite easily.

right then lads thanks for the help i guess ill order this case then unless anyone can recommened any other cases for gaming looks etc i currently have the thermaltake soprano and find it to crampt

Gaming cases you are basically limited to the Thermaltake range, unless, god forbid; you like the Vento

lol ill stick with thermaltake thankyou

, is it worth getting the aluminium version i have black cd drives atm so the black version would be better i guess

Yewen · 2 Apr 2006 at 21:51

Depends how often you move the case really.

I would go for the black if you have black drives.

the black one looks better... i do own one of these cases yes it did have a type r in but i swapped it for a tagan because i needed a second pci connector and i didnt like the adapter with the hyper... id go black may weight abit but it certainly sturdy lol... although i did see silver one and the blue fans looked swish with the silver like my current wavemaster... blue and silver rocks just to help complicate things abit
