Thermaltake Level 10 Super Gaming Case Review
Thermaltake Level 10 Super-Gaming Modular Tower Chassis
A year ago Thermaltake announced a case that was a combined effort with BMW’s DesignworksUSA that was to be a “Gaming tower showpiece”. That result was the Thermaltake Level 10.
This would be a case unlike any to date with a very nontraditional asymmetrical design that not only had form, but function as well. The designers took inspiration from the virtual world and game components to find the Level 10’s unique style. It looks like a city turned on end. Some may not like this, some may love it; either way everyone will stare at it. The Level 10 was not made just to be looked at, but to be a good performing case as well. The case is split into thermal zones to help keep components cool and working efficiently.
The Level 10 has an all aluminum construction, and even with the aluminum it’s built so heavy that it comes in at almost 50lbs empty. With the Level 10 build quality and “thinking outside the box,” the bar got raised a notch or two. Like with all good things there is a “but” and this one is a big one. The price. Currently the Level 10 can be yours for only $708 shipped. Let’s take a quick look at the specifications of the Level 10 and then we can start looking it over to see if it’s worth the asking price.
