This case is developed by BMW for a cause. These who can afford BMW high quality obtain it. Good case for what it presents. If you can only afford a Chevy you would be a fool to try and by a BMW. In saying that you wouldn't speak trash about a car you want you could have but can't afford. Keep you opinions honest but don't bash one thing just because you consider it is also higher. Want Newegg would place a assessment just for owners of the case. You would see one hundred% 5 eggs on this case. The only gripe is the Chevy drivers who can't afford it. My complaint is Newegg only had it at a bundle value so I had to go elsewhere to hey it and still had it in hand 2 days later. I would take this case more than any of these so-known as limited edition situations that have affordable sticker or paint work accomplished to them. This is a 100% aluminium case with the exception of the motherboard. I am an avid Lian Li fan but this case far surpasses anything they present to date. Anyone who buys this will far more than likely have the very same case for the subsequent 10+ yrs and just keep constructing around it. I know that is my program. |

Stylish case. I like how every thing is modular. It is nicely constructed, and really should be a conversation piece for a long time to come. Due to the fact it is a modular style, some of the cables that have been packaged with the elements that made up the package were a tiny quick. I was able to make it function, but will be hunting for longer SATA cables. Also, the price tag is steep. I purchased it as a combo deal, but almost certainly would have went with a different case to save some dollars. |

New ideaDesign and styleCable managementEye CandyHigh quality / CraftsmanshipConstructed Solid Like a Tank ValueCoolingLimitations on modification I visited CES 2010 in Las Vegas this year and had a likelihood to go to Thermaltake's exhibit. Aside from the price tag, it's a quite intriguing design idea. You can't enable not to stare at it; it reminds me of a towering sky scraper in a japanese animation film. My clientele believed extremely of this chassis, when I described the value even so, they believed it was incredibley too higher. In addition, I can't see this solution wanted by gamers/overclockers. It's excellent for an enthusiast who doesn't do a lot overclocking. Either way, I can't make sense of the pricing; 迲??? At 跌-踰 I would potentially think about this case. Also, It doesn't assistance E-ATX. I'm good I'm not the only a single that feels this way.Give Thermaltake a standing ovation for developing a radical style outdoors the common case styles. You don't see styles like this generally. Moreover, their vision is assisting to design the chasis of tomorrow. I gave 3 eggs for the design and style and negated two for the pricing. |

Compartmented and general extremely fantastic layout, mine is packing a lot of current hardware and it could deal with a lot more. Just cool to behold, you spend for what you get which is outstanding craftmanship and ingenuity in a case. None actually, some gripes about cables' lengths came up in some reviews I study upon the case's initial release but who's gonna acquire this issue and not tailor each and every element that goes into it without having some really serious thought of these specifics? Do your research... Appear at the dims of this beast and assume about them, when I initial saw the box it came in I was nonplussed, this thing is a beast! |

*STYLISH - The very first factor you notice is how sexy it is, effortlessly the nicest looking case I've ever seen and in my opinion worth the dollars if you have it.*AIRFLOW - With only the incorporated fans runs relatively cool.*BIG - Huge case with lots of space for expansion.*BUILD Excellent - Even although it looks a bit finicky in photos, it is quite well constructed, and you can inform your investment will a extended time. *WEIGHT - Weight may possibly be an challenge for some. While it is not meant to be carried about at all, this point is HEAVY (even for a full tower) at just about 50 lbs. This is the key cause I docked an egg, but if I could, I would give it a four.five.*PRICE - Like I stated before, worth each and every penny, but that doesn't adjust the reality that it is a lot more costly than most computer systems!*CABLE MANAGEMENT - As some other reviewers have stated, cable management can be a bit of a hassle with this program, but it is manageable if you take the correct precautions. Just helped my friend get his new computer set-up employing this case. He is operating a state of the art technique, and figured an additional 700 bucks was worth it on leading of the 2000+ he was currently spending. I'm glad he went for it, mainly because I hadn't observed a single of these babies in individual ahead of and I have to say it looks even far better than in the pictures. It's far from the least expensive case out there, but you get what you pay for. Nonetheless, there is no need to get this unless you are developing a best of the line system, as the additional money is superior spent on upgrading components in my opinion. |

The case is amazing. It's fairly a lot the answer to anything higher finish builders have been clamoring for for years. It's not best, but it's extremely, extremely fantastic. one hundred% also costly. Bring on the ū-400 replicas that we'll all essentially purchase.A fool and their cash will soon be parted. |

The Level ten appears amazing and does what it claims to do. Each section has its personal closed-off compartment. Heat from one device does not mix in with other devices. It can hold 3 5.25" devices and 6 three.five" challenging drives. The cable management program works nicely and makes the inside look even much better. The fans supplied with the case are effective and nearly silent. This case makes undertaking modest upgrades quite fast and uncomplicated. Some cables could finish up being as well short when trying to route them behind the motherboard. There are no difficult drive access lights, only challenging drive 'existence' lights. When filled with parts, this case is really heavy and tricky to relocate. Fingerprints and fingernail scratches show up extremely very easily, but they can generally be wiped off. While this case accomplishes a lot, it is actually substantially larger than most people envision. Effectively worth the income. It's clear how significantly thought and effort was put into the style of the Level 10.If you don't own this case, why would you create a evaluation for it? Yeah, it's pricey for a pc case and has a special style, but no one is forcing you to get it or even look at it. |

Seriously you feel this thing will be discontinued? That is why everybody is either sold out and on back order or down to their final 10 or significantly less cases, suitable? As for cooling This case keeps items extremelty cooled compared to a lot of circumstances out there. There are two higher rpm fans and two much more intake/exhuast for air to move by means of out the case. Quit hating on anything you can't afford. This is a fantastic worth for those who can afford it. If any downfalls it would have to be the weight of the case and the truth that you far better have a energy supply with extra long cables. Oh and just so you know the EVGA Classified is an E-ATX Mobo and there are photographs and videos all more than displaying that in this case. |

Good Looks Just Poor Good quality all around.Missing sata and energy cables - BEWARE!!! You shall want to mod some cables as only 2 very first drives have cables integrated.Terrible noise "woo-woo-woo-woo" - the 2 included 120mm fans (look like half a dollar each and every) are super low excellent and make a little too a lot noise but genuinely 2 fans for 1st SATA drives make it seriously annoying. No Firewire port on the front, the lihjts for the drives keep on all the time when drives are inserted - I would favor them as SATA activity lights.Poor cable management - some cables may possibly be also brief also 12V EPS cables has to go through a little hole towards the back beneath the hinge for mb compartment as they would be too short... Honestly for 迀 it could at least have energy/sata cables and superior develop excellent - keep in mind, if you have far more than 2 drives you shall want straight end (not T shaped) energy SATA connectors... |

I've been constructing computer systems for 30 years and I have by no means seen any case constructed with this level aesthetic concept, good quality materials and well believed out cable routing and air flow design and style. For the record; there are only two 60mm fans and backplane connectors in drive 1 & 2 bays with the remainder bare bones. Extra fans and SATA backplanes are available on Thermaltake's net web-site. The drive LEDs are usually on indicating drive presence, not activity – when inserted, the drive essentially presses a switch that powers the LED. Cabling is a pleasure and I had no short cables on the energy supply (Thermaltake 850W). If you have not bought one particular, then you are not certified to evaluation it. Yes, the price is higher, but you're paying for excellent. We're talking about the distinction involving a Chevy and a BMW and if you don't comprehend that, nicely then... sorry. There is an ample amount of space in the MB cavity with far more than adequate to accommodate a Cooler Master V10 TEC cooler with practically 1” clearance over 12GB of Corsair XMS3 memory. The MB cage removes from the case enabling full freedom of assembly with no risk of damaging the case.1 side note on Thermaltake's client service; the spring closing the CD/DVD door was missing on my case. I emailed Thermaltake, received an eRMA seconds later and inside 4 hours received an e mail stating the replacement spring had shipped. You can't expect any superior than that! If you're confused about all of the conflicting information in these reviews, then I suggest that you download the manual and study the specs for your self. Bottom line – this is 1 sweet case and it sure is purty! |

It is not your dad's box!, and it's incredibly good searching. Very excellent design and effectively created. Two: simply because of sheer size - power cables for video cards were to brief - required moding, and two most important cooling fans in mobo compartment are a bit to loud, have to uncover a thing better. As mentioned in other testimonials IT IS Huge. It is perform of industrial art, and that need to be the major reason to personal it. If you have to allocate a lot more cash for internal workings in your new develop - this beauty is not for you.Cudos for Newegg's service. |

Commonly speaking I don't acquire combo kits. Under no circumstances. I element my personal systems, and have given that the 80s. I got lazy and a bit distracted by the physics of the Level 10 case. Yeah it's WAY as well substantially. Nevertheless I'd point out some thing to everybody that could take into account a Combo Kit. No a single at Newegg validates the components are compatible.I got a socket II AMD CPU for a socket III motherboard. each are incredibly excellent, they just don't operate together. Due to the fact you cannot portion out a kit (you get a discount for shopping for the kit) you can only RMA for a refund the components that DON'T work, and Obtain new ones. The error is Neweggs error in not validating. Yeah, I have the possibility to appear at each component, and truly I typically do. My getting lazy bit me right here. But the correction of it should be entirely on Newegg.Case: large, as is pointed out ahead of, this is a Massive case. Physically intimidating. Oh and the Thermaltake CPU cooler supplied in the kit? It will not fit in the Thermaltake Level ten case due to the fact of the orientation of the Case as well pricey. cool, but way more than priced. Cabling is an art type. acquiring a kit from Newegg is a drag attempting to get every little thing compatible. purchase the parts. analysis it yourself (they don't) and get what works. Then Newegg is ok. I've used them for years, will continue, but not for combo offers. Verify meticulously the compatibility of the CPU coolers, you have restricted space below a hinged cover - the hinging is what brought on the challenge I have. take it straight off, it would function fine. slight difficulties. other CPU coolers are obtainable. check very carefully. Expense. this is incredibly extremely expensive and is no way worth 迲. Why did I buy it? who knows - I'm interrupt driven and respond to shiney. I dunno. :) it was a tax return, it left my hands just before I knew I had it. The RMA method requirements to be modified to enable the tech support folks to exchange for the proper parts. They apparently can only RMA. |

- Attractive external style - Poor construction- too tight tolerances internally- exceedingly frustrating to operate with- the matte black finish scuffs and scratches particularly easily- Motherboard mounting screws broke off in my hand- five + 1ǚ case portion is impossible to get back in location due to construction errors - I had to cut off aspect of the hing pin with a hack saw- The openings to the hard drive trays are so tight that closing the case uplugs the drives- The hard drive lights in the case periodically failIt's just terribly shoddy! Thermaltake really should be ashamed for generating such a terrible case. It's undoubtedly desirable, but it's terrible to operate with - installing elements shouldn't need a hack saw and a dremel tool!DO NOT WASTE YOUR Income |

Clearly, style is a aspect when taking into consideration this case. It's 1 of the nicest case style ideas I'd seen in ages.It's pretty solid and all metal.six HDD bays and 3 five.25" bays...lots of capacity. It feels like a lot of compromises were produced after the original style notion. The design of the case is quite high-finish industrial...and must have been finished with much more minimal and metallic accents...rather than the low cost-searching red plastic LED accent wrapping about the tower, the affordable plastic energy and reset buttons, and the equally affordable red HDD indicator lights.I have a lot of difficulty believing they couldn't have afforded a far better fit and finish to these components for the 迀 cost. I realize that pricing the case expensively is part of their technique to reinforce the allure and desirability of the item...which, believe it or not, is fine...but for those willing to spend that kind of premium we count on interest to detail and high top quality components in places that could appear insignificant. One particular of the largest annoyances with this case is that the top rated five.25" bay has a very cheesy metallic drive door which is mounted to metal fittings that are NON-REMOVABLE ...meaning if you have two optical drives you can either have one particular mounted behind the door and yet another mounted flush to the case...or you have to mount them in the two reduce bays. Then, if you wish to use the upper bay for a card reader or cooling control, you either need to have to flip down the spring-loaded door to access it (doesn't keep down on its personal)...or you can yank off the door. However, the metal pins that serve as the hinge for the door are not removable...so you can't mount anything flush to the case in this bay...unless you, as I did, resort to taking a HACK SAW to the case to cut off the offending bits. Now all three bays are mounted flush to the case and I am OK...but I was seriously thinking about giving up on it.My Coolermaster V8 didn't fit, had to use a Zalman rather (mm).Newegg ought to match price tag |

Beautifully developed case. Plenty of HDD/SSD drive slots, 4 USB ports, mic, headphone ports and 1 e-sata port ion the front panel make plug and play devices uncomplicated to connect/disconect. The case is quiet and cable management is extremely easy and neat. Price. This case is too high priced for it's build quality and characteristics. The metal frames about the Optical drives are incredibly thin and flimsy and can be bent quite easilly so care have to be taken when setting up optical drives/media devices. The quite red lights are a bit deceiving in the photographs. The way the lighting is developed for the price is incredibly poor. There are strips of red colored plastic with only a few red lights that I believe are supposed to light up the complete strip evenly and nicely, but it does not do a great job of this. The reset button stays vibrant red, but the energy button only lights up when you turn the case on or off and the lights for the front input ports are vibrant at the bottom and dim as you go up indicating they only utilised a single light to attempt to light all the ports. Only the first 2 HDD/SSD slots have hot swapable capability, why they did not do this for all six ports is not identified. For the price tag, they really should have performed a superior job on the develop top quality. This case is enormous. Make confident you acquire added long sata cables for your optical drives and use excellent care when putting in optical/media drives. Overall I am pleased with the case, on the other hand cost vs. high quality is medium to poor. They could have completed a beter job with lighting, a superior job with the thin metal parts of the case, and created all the HDD/SSD drive bays hot swapable. If you want a one of a kind gorgeous case and have the money then this is a good choice. If you want a case that performs just as effectively or better than this one, you can go with much more affordable case. |

THIS BOX IS Large!!! HEAVY!!! Easy ON THE EYES!!! JUST PLAIN SICK!!! Almost everything is designed nicely. The ease of install and swapping possible tends to make this a winner! The cable management is great, and each and every factor fits together well. The all aluminum housing is place together properly! All circumstances need to be designed with the finish user in thoughts. Not quite a few!Value!!!HEAVY (Like 75 pounds completely loaded)! Thank goodness I can handle the weight...most most likely a two individual construct and install unless you are large and robust like me!The bay light for the 1st drive is not illuminated when a SSD is installed as it is smaller and the mounting puts it on the opposite side of the switch. Have to likely rig anything to mash the switch to get it to come on, I just punted at this point but a workaround would be better by Thermaltake (like place the switch on the very same side so all drives trigger it, or consist of a SSD cradle that does the identical issue!) Watch the install video on YouTube! If you place points in out of order, probabilities are you will have to remove them, to comprehensive the develop (Lengthening your construct-time). |

Lots of space in MB compartment, cools far better than my final case which was a standard boxy situation. Was in a position to fit a custom water cooling technique (rather tight but possible) composing of 2 radiators and two pumps, and CPU water block for now. Metal is THICK and HEAVY (Good issue). Does not bend or dent. K my core i7 920 (that's a quad core) is at the moment idling at 26 degrees Celcius, and that's with a handful of applications open like Firefox, MSN, AIM and so on. And I'm undertaking that with Three situation fans. NOT 8 like in my final comp. Clearly, the situation is carrying out it's job nicely. I'm running a water cooled setup. two radiators in the main compartment (radiators can soak up heat and make the interior hot if they're not cooled well also), a single on the intake fan, 1 on the bottom of the compartment with a fan on it, and an exhaust fan in the rear to get rid of all the heat. Presently have an 8800 GTS in there till the next Nvidia cards come out then I'll water cool those too. Heavy, pricy, and so on. only the drive compartment door comes off. The energy supply door does not, but the energy provide sits in a cage which is removable. If you're going to put anything other than wires in the backside of the situation, you might have trouble shutting the door. WD40 aids with the door. Ok first off, you shouldn't write a evaluation if you don't own this item. Folks appear to bash whatever they want, but can't have. Anyways, I was forced to obtain this off of TD due to the fact this shop only had it in a bundle. I have to say, I'm increasingly amazed at how individuals don't take into account looks when they get anything, and if you feel this case looks bad, fine. You can have your personal opinion, but you may well have bad taste as well. I don't know about you guys but I'm kinda tired of laptop or computer instances seeking like boring boxes. It's time for them to change. Part of the cause you acquire this case, is to support the situations of the future. Sooner or later, they're going to change. Quit being afraid of what you're unfamiliar with and deal with it. Do you think skyscrapers and vehicles are going to look the very same forever? Of course not. This situation is not with out its faults, but it's the first situation of its sort, that's what occurs when early adopters obtain stuff, and I don't have a issue with it since eventually much more circumstances will look radically distinct than a boring box and possibly be cheaper as well. Confident it's costly and does the "same point" that cheaper circumstances do, but it does it differently, AND IT LOOKS Superior --- FORBID correct? By not getting all the components in the identical compartment, anything stays cooler. That's the point. The point is not to have 50 fans like in other cases mainly because it doesn't will need it. Think about it! |

Looks fantastic. Amazing for "Fan Cooling Only". To afford this much on a case, it tells people u have funds to burn ! How could this substantially expense, style and time of engineering - be wasted on such a pricey case - that does not accomodate water cooling? IMO - a single who schucks out this kind of money on a situation like this, is somewhat saying that they know a bit about pc Modding - and individuals sorts of enthusiasts would definitely know a issue or two about Overclocking-which is generally much better when employing water coolers..And not producing this situation acessiable to that, (without cutting into the case), is just a waste of cash.. There are numerous stylish circumstances out there that are 1ቦth the cost of this boheomoth..aaaaannndd-encompasses watercooling. consider about the added a number of hundred dollars u could devote on actual Computer eqipment rather than this bucket.... BTW-this issue weighs more than 50lbs by itself...FAIL ! |
