The Thermaltake Armor ships in a large, glossy box as shown below:

It is very well packed, providing enough insulation and protection for the chassis inside.  As for weight, it is surprisingly light, thanks to its aluminum construction.  Here is what you get out of the shipping box.  Inside is a smaller box containing various hardware such as screws:

The front of the Armor has two swinging flaps which partially cover the face.  As you can see, there are 11x 5.25" bays.  If you look closely at each of the 5.25" covers, the middle part is a 3.5" opening which can be removed to accommodate any 3.5" device.  The top 5.25" bay is a 3.5" adapter bay with the power button and LEDs.  The bottom is a plastic drawer.  More on those two later.  The second photo shows the rear of the Armor.  Note how the power supply is oriented vertically to accommodate a fan next to it.  This design is a clever way to add three more HDD bays.  Also, there are four small circular holes underneath that upper fan, specially designed for watercooling hoses.  The third photo is the top view of the Armor.  The elliptical opening provides a means for hot air to escape naturally without any noisy fans.  There is also a small circular panel with a flip-top cover.  This conceals two USB ports, a 1394 port and audio jacks. 

Here we have some internal hardware.  First is a triple HDD cage with a 120mm fan.  This goes in any three free 5.25" bays, allowing you to mount three HDDs, and cool them at the same time.  Next is another triple HDD cage.  This is the cage which mounts beside the PSU.  It is also fan-cooled.  Lastly, we have the 3.5" bay with the LED and buttons.  The front of the 3.5" opening is wire mesh, and easily be removed to accommodate any 3.5" device such as an FDD, MO, Zip, or other gadget.

A few more pieces of hardware here.  On the left is a 3.5" bay.  This can be used with an FDD or Zip drive.  However, the 3.5" portion of the bay cover must be removed to expose the device face.  The middle item is the plastic drawer.  Nothing too special here, just a plain plastic box.  On the right is the PSU support plate.  This allows the PSU to be oriented any way desired.
