Thermaltake Level 10 VL30001N1Z Black Gaming Station Computer Case

Comment:
If you do not personal this case or do not have any good friends w this situation do not rate as poor.I totally disagree w all the poor critiques.Except about the high price tag.This case was made for temp control.If you have heat difficulties with this situation you must not be into gaming.This is produced for a high end gaming rig the thrives on air flow. Of course the cost,but not worth taking an egg off.If you want the finest,at times you ought to foot the bill. Fiend of mine purchased the situation and I was originally a hater.I was thinking that it looks crazy and it was also pricey.But, on the other hand,I have constructed or helped construct 7 rigs and this was the easiest and quickest it took me.Of course with aid.So far for the last 6 weeks there have been no concerns.Its quiet and does not even get slightly warm.

Good hunting situation. The way the optical drive setup is configured leaves some thing to be desired. Require longer sata cables. I have to say I don't have a lot to complain about with the situation. I bought it new from a private individual. Throughout shipping the box a handful of holes punched in it, and the accessory pack was lost. This incorporates the important, standoffs, and screws. I figured no issue, I will just contact them and obtain a replacement pack. I figured incorrect.To make a lengthy story brief, given that I purchased it privately, Thermaltake has no support for it's item. Meaning I can't get a key, or anything that was in the accessory pack from them. If it would have had a damaged piece, ie a door broken, I can not obtain a replacement from them. All mainly because I didn't acquire it from a dealer. Though speaking to the head of buyer service about this, he just flat hung up on me. There had been no curse words or raising of the voice or something. I just wanted an explanation of how they can sell anything, and I can't get any replacement components.

One of a kind and stunning look; the greatest cable management in the organization (you can nearly literally just let 'em hang in that nice right compartment); eight PCI slots; scratch-resistant; less difficult to install & modify components than in most instances. Can't accommodate numerous of the taller CPU coolers & longer PSUs that enthusiasts tend to have; price; demands extenders/adaptors for a lot of cables since of location; poor-good quality fans preinstalled in motherboard chamber; no pre-cut holes for liquid cooling; the "band" of red lighting is actually just from a couple of LEDs, not lit evenly, and it doesn't look almost as fantastic (in this one particular respect) as the internet pics do; the HDD LEDs don't come on if you're making use of two.five" drives rather than three.5" drives; exceedingly heavy; doesn't cool fanless GPUs as properly as several other cases do. While it would be simple sufficient to set up a liquid-cooling program by obtaining the tubing enter and leave the case by an empty PCI slot cover, I suspect a lot of of the enthusiasts (who would be the ones to shell out for such a case in the initially spot) will occupy all eight PCI slots with components, and thereby have to drill out holes in the rear panel, underneath the fan, for the tubing. I'm shocked to discover that limitations on PSU length and CPU cooler height exclude the best-level components that we want to install. For example, my Silverstone Strider 1500W PSU won't fit, and my Prolimatech Megashadow is so tall it just may well be negatively impacting airflow egress from the motherboard chamber's GPU area (and in any event, it's a handful of mm taller than the 150mm max that Thermaltake stipulates in the manual). The things required to truly make this situation the greatest: Ƒ) predrilled LCS holes; ƒ) ten-11 PCI slots (for the greatest MBs); Ɠ) far more possibilities in LED colors; and Ɣ) wider MB chamber.

The most innovative style to date. Gamers are always looking for a way to one-up their buddies outdoors of the gaming arena ... this is confident to do it. Excellent design and style and layout. Incredibly sturdy and nicely built. I admit it's an incredible issue to look at but it'll have to come down a bit much more in price before I start to stock them :) A bit on the heavy side but manageable. Doesn't support my game play any :( I agree with the other reviewer - you really really should not post a negative account of a product if you do not own it basically based on your opinion of it. If you don't like it that's ok just don't screw with the ratings based on conjecture and opinion alone.This is a fine piece of existence and a beauty to behold. I only wished I had thought of it initially!!

Obviously, design is a factor when thinking about this case. It's one particular of the nicest case style concepts I'd observed in ages.It's relatively solid and all metal.6 HDD bays and 3 five.25" bays...lots of capacity. It feels like a lot of compromises had been created following the original style idea. The style of the case is very high-end industrial...and should have been finished with a lot more minimal and metallic accents...rather than the inexpensive-searching red plastic LED accent wrapping around the tower, the low cost plastic power and reset buttons, and the equally low-cost red HDD indicator lights.I have a lot of trouble believing they couldn't have afforded a better fit and finish to these components for the 迀 cost. I realize that pricing the situation expensively is element of their tactic to reinforce the allure and desirability of the product...which, think it or not, is fine...but for those willing to pay that kind of premium we expect attention to detail and high top quality components in places that might appear insignificant. A single of the biggest annoyances with this case is that the top rated 5.25" bay has a very cheesy metallic drive door which is mounted to metal fittings that are NON-REMOVABLE ...which means if you have two optical drives you can either have 1 mounted behind the door and yet another mounted flush to the case...or you have to mount them in the two lower bays. Then, if you wish to use the upper bay for a card reader or cooling manage, you either will need to flip down the spring-loaded door to access it (doesn't stay down on its personal)...or you can yank off the door. Nevertheless, the metal pins that serve as the hinge for the door are not removable...so you can't mount anything at all flush to the case in this bay...unless you, as I did, resort to taking a HACK SAW to the situation to cut off the offending bits. Now all 3 bays are mounted flush to the case and I am happy...but I was seriously considering giving up on it.My Coolermaster V8 didn't fit, had to use a Zalman as an alternative (mm).

This has to be the most innovated situation built to date. Good style idea. 15"X15" area just for your mobo. All metal design. Absolutely nothing on the marketplace can touch this case. Getting all metal is is really heavy. 50lbs + empty. If you intend to put this underneath your desk make certain you have 27" clearance. Make sure you have extra cables from your psu. Some will say price but I beg to differ. I have observed affordable 贄 cases with affordable paint jobs on them sale for more than this. The only people today who will complain about this situation are these who don't own it. PERIODThis situation was so user friendly due to the fact I did my reasearch and identified out what works best in it. Could not be happier with the outcome. Oh and for those saying gamers wont like this, well this is 1 gamer who is frinally in like with my situation and have no cause to make sure it is hidden under some desk.

I have built 3 computers prior to this one. I have also purchased boxes from the top discount prebuilt pc co (not allowed to mention names) The level ten 'bundle' was initially supplied by my preferred pre-built vendor and NewEgg. Frankly, the components in the NewEgg present were superior. Like two Sata III two terabyte drives, a 256gig SSD, best CPU, etc. These new Sata III drives had been not even available from everyone else. For about Ŭ,000, the worth prop with newEgg was at least 躔 far better.As for constructing the Level ten, it cleverly wraps the connecting cables behind the motherboard, out of view and out of the air blocking way. It is very slick, BUT the cables offered are not long enough. I had 3 extensions (you need 4), so I had to order 1 extension cable for the SLI config GPU. Also, with stock CPU fan it is nonetheless incredibly quiet. I did not use the Thermatake cooler simply because I didn't figure out how to set up it appropriately correct away and decided not to wait. You need a crane to lift this point. It should weigh north of 75 lbs. It is also major and I do not assume it is going to fit in the original cubby hole I had planned for it in my study. This laptop or computer is beautiful to look at. It will be fast sufficient for the subsequent 4-five years, and frankly I can't assume of any app that would require this substantially horsepower. Is the case worth 轜-迀? It is if you like functions of art. It will attract 'ews' and 'aws' from your close friends and even my wife is not turned off by it's high tech appearance.

I have built a lot of High finish PCs over the years and I have yet to see a case to go with them till now...Usually a build for myself will tip the scales at about Ůk...This case would compliment 1 of them beautifully... I have noticed the case very first hand and it is just great... The only con to this product is Newegg's naive concept that everyone wants the 񘷠 combo Newegg came up with...Until I can purchase the case with my personal components I will pass... I will be the initial one particular to acquire 1 from Newegg if they lose the combo business... Seriously Newegg, are you pretty much accomplished with the combo stuff no one wants the elements that you choose???Do you want to sell the case or just appear at it in the warehouse???Lose the combo and I will construct a Computer around this case!!!I still think Newegg has the best service accessible hence I want to get the case from them.

Everyting about this case is incredible. Fundamentally every little thing that you would want from a case, this a single has. Ease of use, cooling, and so on. Cost, and it's a major con. Let's feel about the purpose of a case. It is to house a pc and hold it cool, and this case does that as nicely as appear superior. My only believed is that it would be dollars a lot greater spent for to buy a wonderful case for 趚 and spend the rest on either a water or phase cooling system. Not only can you get wonderful searching instances for 趚, you can achieve considerably better cooling with the dollars left more than. To use somebody elses BMW example. Positive BMW's are great vehicles, but personally, I'd rather take that Chevy, load it down with aftermarket parts, and blow the pants off the BMW.

Comment:
sleek, eye catching tiny area will allow far more CF to move threw the case permitting for superior cooling tricky drives and cd drives are not actively cooled. for a case that clames to be the greatest at cooling the components why does it not have a temp read out? for 迀 i would purchase a liquid cooling case since they are far quieter and more effective, especially if you place your radiator in a mini fridge. (not kidding i do that.) keeps my bawls cold and my laptop or computer cold.Oh don't hate this critique simply because I don't personal the case i am just stating facts and opinions based upon experience concerning air v. liquid cooling

Comment:
Aesthestically pleasing. (It's pretty.) Weighs a ton!!! Locks are junk. One of mine broke within three months and thermaltake wants me to pay to return the defective lock to them so they can send me a new one. This is outrageous. It would most likely be less high priced and less of a hassle to just acquire a replacement. Thermaltake's customer help are jerks. They appear to believe this sort of factor is funny. Acquire from another business. You don't want to have to deal with these a-holes!!

The case is gorgeous and functional, the way ALL item ought to be.Each manufacturer ought to have excellence in thoughts going into a item style for the reality that their primary focus ought to be rendering an excellent service to their clientele. A one grand computer system case is assinine. And I'm the initial minimalist to prize clean, elegant functionality above all else. I have been bored stiff with Pc case style given that forever and have been disgusted with the laziness of most manufacturers in that region.Still, paying about a g for a case no matter if it was created by BMW or Moses is just sending the wrong message and affects just about every consumer in the world: "Yes, we're cattle. We're stupid and we'll spend whatever you ask so extended as we can discover the income."We've currently noticed the effects of corporate greed (depression, inflation) and folks willing to spend for items like this are perpetuating a social malfunction.You do NOT get what you spend for. That is the laziest adage I've ever heard. You spend what you're asked to pay based on your patience, wisdom and strength of character.

By thinking appropriately you can fit these without modification-ASUS Rampage two Extreme (Fitted)-Computer Energy and Cooling 1200Watt PSU (Extra Extended PSU fitted 230mm) Only have 2 switch for the Hot swap HDD Include things like all 6 switch for the 6 HDD bays would make it perfect.

The aesthetics, SSD compatibility, hot swappable two.five" and 3.5" bays, isolation compartments for maximum heat effectiveness, wire elimination style. This case is created one particular way to perform and only that way to work. Thermaltake designed the compartments to efficiently cool the components with active air cooling, even though their internet site says water cooling able, and they list the intake fan can be transform to a 120mm fan rather of a 140mm, and that is not the case either. The five.25" bays are made for 1 optical drive and 1 2 five.25" device, and the cause I can tell is due to the fact of the spacing on the hinge door for the expansion bays and I have a Aerocool 2000 there. The back side panel is hard ro slide back and forth so I rubbed a thin coating of WD-40 on the edges where it rubs and it eliminated the challenge One particular of the causes I got this case was mainly because of the isolation design and the aesthetics and all in all it is a great case, and incredibly heavy(with all components installed 60lbs), and if completed appropriately drastically lowers temperatures , but when a person spends 迲, compared to a standard case at 贶 to 赨, you demand perfection not only in style but specification listings to which I hold Thermaltake accountable for each.

Comment:
It looks very good. That's exactly where it ends. Needs that you go out of your way to discover parts that will fit meaning that upgrading it will not be easy. Wants extra length to quite a few cables internally. It doesn't cool the program properly. It isn't future proof like several post (the future is unfortunately in water cooling). I helped a friend create a program with this. You are paying for BMW's help in designing this apparently. You can do far much better for far less with yet another case.

looks cool/ no cost shipping overpriced cramped poor airflow weights to a lot buy it if you like to invest dollars

We purchased this and loaded it with the most insane hardware income can purchase to display in the store. Occasionally an individual seriously stupid will see it and ask how considerably....Its created of Aluminum.Thermaltake supposedly spent a mint developing this thing (Riiiight.) Cost of this abomination. Does not even consist of liquid cooling for the expense (Thermaltake liquid cooling suxx so thats understandable). Possibly if they instead spent the time money and effort on creating much more efficient liquid cooling this case could have been much more successful/worth it. Owning this factor doesn't give you bragging rights, it instead tends to make you subject to ridicule by flamers everywhere. They're all going to laugh at you. Thermaltake has made some nice merchandise more than the years (of which I own many), sadly this is not one of them. If you are looking for successful air cooling in a freaky design than I would recommend the Antec Skeleton (yet an additional abomination that doesn't sell). At least it wont expense you 8 bills. Or go for good construction and get Lian Li and spend the rest on excellent watercooling or vapochill. I would rate this case for the 200-300 dollar market place at ideal. Save your funds, maintain your dignity and get one thing else.

Comment:
I believe it is made out of Kryptonite... It expenses 迱.99. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the critiques with 5 stars were planted by Thermaltake. I'm not doubting this product's creative design, but regardless, the price basically doesn't make sense.

Comment:
i saw this case at nearby personal computer store this thing is monster. looks actually neat and definitely a conversation piece. every drive is mounted into its own compartment. so must be genuinely quiet. totally free key chain with obtain make certain you get it. considering that the drives are compartmentalized this is an concern relating to trapped heat. the cost is WAY to prohibitive for the typical joe to absorb. for the similar price one can construct a "normal" mid to high end gamer total. i want to clarify i dont own this case i took a Quite close appear at it at the store and im sorry i dont see this in my living space let alone any buyers. looks kinda like 1 of those proton packs from ghostbusters movie. will it will need a license trigger it may get confused as a nuclear generator?? if it had a built in heat pipe method like the zalman TNN300 then it may well be worth although. that case sells for less than 499.00

Comment:
Aesthetically pleasing. Cool design. Most PSU's don't incorporate cables lengthy sufficient to reach the bottom GPU's. Can't liquid cool even with Corsair H50 or H70 (neither will fit on back panel). Locks break effortlessly. My ODD/HDD lock was sticking when I initially got it and it is now broken inside 2 months. Consumer service at Thermaltake is TERRIBLE! Regardless of the lock naturally becoming defective, the jerks at Thermaltake expect me to send back this junk lock in order to get a new 1. I believe it would have to be more affordable to just buy a new 1. This doesn't seem to be an selection for them. Avoid Thermaltake at all expenses unless you like worthless consumer support.

For those of you who don't believe this case can be watercooled you are wrong. I already have a DD program up and running on my level 10. Waiting on Nvidia to release the new cards to finish it off and total what already began as a function of art. Certain it is pricey. we already know now state one thing new if you wish to complain. My only complaint is on the right side of the case it looks a small program do to the whole side becoming a door. Wish there was one thing added more than there but hey we can't have it all. This case has plenty of active cooling on every single component.

Was bought for use in high style Gaming/HTPC setup. Rear of mount was machined off and case is installed flat on a black granite wall. Drives a Panasonic 84" plasma making use of high finish components. Fans had been replaced with Enermax magnetic bearing fans. Corsair H2O water cooling with two fans. Corsair 850HX PS. Computer system is practically silent and looks terrific. All wiring is totally hidden thru back wall. Few comprehend what it is as it appears more like contemporary art, which it is. It was extremely simple to install additional leds for HD activity. The finish is really high high quality. None - I realised it would take some work to use as I had planned and it was simpler than I thought. If you don't worth it for what it is acquire a case that pleases you. 迲 is a little price to pay for style, if that is your aim. The piece of granite on which it is mounted price more than the case by far. There is a place for a inexpensive cases and pricey ones as nicely. This case is special. It's a bargin if it is what you want. You could not begin to create anything like it for the price.

Lots of room for all the great components a case like this deserves. Yes this case is a beast, but is stroung and tuff in all the proper locations. It will hold the greatest of all video cards with room to spare. Pricey? Yes it is but so are all the other Beamers. Cooling is fantastic, lighting looks great, Hot swap drive bay connections are the shizzel and it's heavy. We're talking M1-Abhrams heavy, but I suppose that is to withstand all the fragging this thing has to take on and off the field. Heavy, but not a con.Not all the drive bays have the hot swap connections, but extras can be located if you take the time to look for them. This is not a case for those that want the looks but not the guts of a genuine sports auto. Some parts are a small tricky, and this case calls for patience, and some what of a mechanical background. I installed the Asus OC Station with out a hitch, it just took a little bit additional time and there was no cutting of anything anyplace on this case. Just like any other Beamer or Benz, just because space is a small tight in the upper drive bays does not mean you have to get a saw and hack it up (IDIOT), just have to take the time to fit it suitable. Got to hold your tounge just proper. A Fantastic Case for a Excellent Method! Properly worth the additional USD, right after all, You GET What You Pay For!

This case is absouloutely amazing...From its eligant style to its awesome sytle. The cable routing is a little bit out of whack but still thats absolutely nothing to be concerned about. Everything I have will fit. It makes a very good show off gamer. People today gawk and stare. But all in all an incredible case. Its retardedly exspensive. But tottatly Worth it. Wish I Owned It!
