The Armor+ MX comes in a black box. It features an image of the case on the front, showing the flip-out front panel guards as well as a huge side panel fan with blue LED lighting.

All the information can be found on the back, with a list of features present as well as several graphics highlighting important cooling features of the case. Here is a zoomed-in version so you can read the text.

The sides of the box don't have much more information but they do have handy cutouts that serve as carrying handles.


Opening the package, we see the case cradled within two Styrofoam blocks. It is also covered by a cloth-like material to prevent scratches.

Pulling the case out, we can see that the case is indeed well-protected. There is a small plastic bag included which contains the manual and a cloth.

Removing the protective cloth-like material, we catch our first glimpse of the Thermaltake Armor MX+. The front panel guards and sliding tray at the top of the case come taped down to prevent movement.

Before taking a closer look at the case, let's take a moment to familiarize ourselves with the features and specifications so we know what to expect.
