Thermaltake released one of the most stunning looking products in 2009, the spectacular Level 10 Chassis. Co-Designed with car manufacturer BMW it was a unique concept idea which caused many people to sit up and take notice. Sadly, the £500+ price point meant it was strictly for a small hard core audience of enthusiast user. Fast forward a couple of years and Thermaltake have revisited the design, dropping the price point while maintaining a similar compartmentalised design.
While the Level 10 was undoubtedly an eye dropping design it was rather huge, and it weighed a ton, often over 40kg with a full system build inside it. The Level 10 GT is smaller, lighter and most importantly, less than half the price. Is it any good however?

I really like it. very nice looking and much lighter. The cost is still a bit high for me, but i think this is a win.
Original was a stand out product, this doesnt look like much to me. I really do like the insides though, the little board on the door for disconnection. I friggin hate connecting up fans to motherboards all the time when I do something inside.
I dont know, I saw the hexus review a wee while ago and thought it lacked a bit of detail. This seems more even handed to me.
Still wouldnt buy it, but there are some redeeming features.
Damn, I think this is brilliant. the design is great. the I/O on top and bottom, all the fans as standard (worth £40 for the fans alone). the trays, the door fan system. the looks.
Im buying it.
