One of the things Thermaltake has been good at is conjuring up some enclosure designs that spark a lot of discussion. Whether it be the once inspiring SwordM or the monolithic Level 10, we’ve all seen something from Thermaltake that we just felt compelled to take a closer look. Today we’ve got that same curiosity about the new Armor series which is quite different from what they’ve done in the past. Things have changed a lot and we think it’s for the best. Today we’ll get to see that new Armor influence in the one they call the A90 Gaming Chassis.

"Music played on the Boom Boom, which were 320 kbps MP3s, sounds fairly nice and has much better bass response than my MacBook Pro. When the lid is closed, however, the sound quality suffers. Also, when the volume increased, some distortion was apparent, but not nearly as much as other speakers."

When Benchmark Reviews first tested the video card, we knew that NVIDIA had a winner on their hands. For the mid-range price of $200, gamers can enjoy high-speed frame rates and PhysX enhancements. After some additional investigation, it seemed that the price point offered more than just a successful domination of the rivaling ATI Radeon HD 5830, it also surpassed the more expensive GeForce GTX 465. There are several enthusiast video cards that cost more than the GTX 460, which presents the case for combining two of these video cards into a $400 SLI set. At this price segment the GTX 460 SLI set directly competes against the ATI Radeon HD 5870, but could potentially deliver more performance than ATI's Radeon HD 5970. In this article, Benchmark Reviews compares single and SLI performance for the 768MB GTX 460 against the entire enthusiast graphics card segment.

"Yearning to escape the banalities of life is a common trait shared by everyone and computer games have played a large role in the last few years in satiating this need.  It is an industry that has generated revenue of over $19.6B in 2009 so it isn't surprising that investments are being made to make sure that video game technology is always moving forward.  Microsoft, one of the largest software companies in the world has done exactly that and dedicated plenty of money and resources to it's DirectX API."
