The case is removed from the box. We received the silver version of this case. This case is made purely out of steel, but with a plastic front panel. This tends to be the formula for many budget cases, whereas on more pricey cases you might get an all aluminum body with an aluminum front panel, or maybe a steel body with an aluminum panel. Anyway, the front is painted chrome, so it's very shiny and gives it a "high-tech" look.

This is with the door open. Unlike the $300 Nimiz TJ-03 we reviewed, the door latches very well-- in fact, a little too well, often it's hard to pry it open. Overall though, it shouldn't be too much of an annoyance.

Down here is a temperature sensor. In fact, this is the same exact sensor as was used on the Aspire X-Infinity, down to the shape and everything! It measures case temps in degrees Fahrenheit. To the sides are the Reset and Power buttons.

Here is a side shot of the case. As you can see, it has a single 80mm blowhole on its windowed door (a must-have in any "gaming case"). However, this is no ordinary blowhole...why, you ask?

This! The Logisys Armor case comes with a single 80mm fan duct, which better routes the air to your CPU. There's really no way to estimate whether the placement of your motherboard allows for the duct to be right above your CPU, but I suppose it might work better than nothing. If it doesn't, the duct screws right out, with no issues.
Let's open up that door and check out the insides!
