No matter how many high end cases they release there is an equal amount of budget cases for the average consumer with a small bank roll.

Conclusion:
Essentially you are getting a lot of full tower options in a budget mid tower case. The Thermaltake A90 is very unique in its aesthetics and for the most part a pretty decent performer. It is very reminiscent of 80’s sci-fi and one might go as far to say that it is your very own black crystal fortress of solitude. I have always liked Thermaltakes products and this one is no different, Thermaltake should be proud of this case.
Would I recommend this case? Yes, if you are looking for a case with all the features of a typical case but don’t want the cookie cutter design of the majority, then the Thermaltake A90 is the perfect choice for you.
Pros:
- Price
- Tool less
- All Black Interior
- Unique design
Cons:
- Window is Minuscule if you are a Show-off
