Thermaltake Armor parts

[Joel]

I've recently bought a Thermaltake Armor full tower (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/Chassis/fulltower/armor/va8000bws.asp) (second hand). Some of its front mesh plates and the easy install slot holder are missing.

Would anyone know where I can buy these? Thermaltake doesn't sell it separately. Thanks!

If they are not functional, no hurry huh? What are you running that would run so hot to need water cooling?

Did you check craigslist in the locality near you? I would suppose e-bay would be too great of an effort to get some cosmetic pieces.

From the picture, I would guess one option is to fill those slots with what fills them, but I guess you are not in any hurry to fill the slots.

Good luck hunting, you never know unless you ask....

This case is water-cooling-ready however I didn't put a Thermaltake system. I put a CoolIT System (http://www.coolitsystems.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=81) instead.

The parts I need are not "cosmetic pieces" at all. They have a function. Each of those mesh plates has an air filter. While the slot holder make it easy for me to remove cards -- right now I have to use a screwdriver.

Xoxide (http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake2.html) has one of the largest selections of Thermaltake cases I've seen. I didn't see any parts, per se, but it might be worth a call to see if they can order them for you. There's a phone number on thier info page. Good luck.

Thanks Gizmo. I'll give it a try. I've already contacted Thermaltake but they only sell spare parts to the original owner.

I just noticed that it said the phone number was for support only and not orders. Oh well, I hope they can help anyway.

When I built my computer a couple years back I considered the Thermaltake Xaser, but ended up with a Lian-Li PC-65.
