INTRODUCTION

   When looking for a case to house one of my new test rigs i always put three things above all else, interior space, airflow levels and of course build quality. Needless to say, that if i can find a case which combines all of the above plus looks (RGB lighting in particular) all the better for the end result. Still not many PC cases do and aside my personal experience (which i have to admit is far from huge since i don't focus a lot on PC cases) this is something i hear from many people around me as well. Because of this just before the turn of the year i begun to gather some of the latest models to hit the market and i will start this "round" of PC case reviews with the Armis AR7X EVO TG ARGB (SPC251) midi tower by the people over at SilentiumPC.

   Since 2007 SilentiumPC brings well-made CPU coolers, cases and power supplies with main focus on exceptional value for money achieved through effective design and smart cost-cutting. No fancy trademark names, just well-thought-out products designed to work, chosen and praised by value-minded enthusiasts and system integrators.

   As the name clearly states the two strongest selling points of the Armis AR7X EVO TG ARGB (SPC251) by SilentiumPC are its tempered glass panels (front/left) and its ARGB lighting via its bundled fans. Still the Armis AR7X EVO TG ARGB is a well-equipped model and so it features support for up to ATX sized mainboards (although even E-ATX should be ok), removable air-filters (front/top/bottom), PSU shroud with vertical GPU mount, 3 Stella HP ARGB CF 120 fans (1200RPM), removable drive cage, vertical drive mounts and even a 6-fan ARGB controller. Interior space is also quite good with enough room for up to six 2.5" and/or three 3.5" drive, seven 120mm fans (7x120/140mm) and/or 2 radiators (240/280/360mm), 178mm tall CPU coolers, 420mm long graphics cards and 220mm long power supply units. So, interesting enough?
