Review on Computer Case Thermaltake Level 10 Titanium Edition VL300A9N1N by Wiktor ᠌
I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.
Huge. No not like this. HUGE! Believe me, it is BIGGER than you can imagine in the picture. This is both a plus and a minus for those who want a compact system - it's not for you. AND VERY HARD. In equipment about 25 kilograms . In general, if you are ready to put up with an external installation of a custom CBO or be content with a non-separable CBO, then from the shortcomings there will practically be only a bunch of problems with running hoses / fittings, installing non-standard fasteners, etc. If air cooling is your ultimate dream, then definitely the case is for you! I only recommend replacing the stock coolers. In any case, of the opaque cases, this one is subjectively the most interesting. In addition, a limited series of 500 pieces, a claim for exclusive. Looks very cool. Plus (if you still decide to get confused with CBO) - as a designer, it requires a creative approach, but the result justifies (and the process is also fascinating).
- Very. Very stylish case. Well, very much! Probably there are no analogues yet. Even their own TT, the latest 20th model (glass), loses in design. The design is fundamentally different from boxes with lotions and from glass. + Unlike aquariums, you get a known great look no matter what's inside. An opaque metal case hides all sorts of lighting effects (the latest trend is to insert garlands into top boards - for shkoloty). There is a discreet backlight on the frame. + Build quality is very solid, reliable. Metal after all (although I didn’t understand, titanium or aluminum). + Power supply - separately! And above! Relevant for watermen, because. in case of leaks, the liquid will not get to the PSU (and there is 220V for a minute).
- - The price is definitely not for everyone! - The presence of as many as three departments 5.25. I don't know who else uses them, but maybe someone will come in handy. As an option - put one blue-ray and push the control panel with LCD into the other two. - Disgusting quality of native coolers. They are really noisy, albeit with backlight. Moreover, both 12 and 14 mm case fan and hdd fan. Treated by replacing with silent ones (such as Noctua ULN series) - the third drawback is the lack of fastening for a CBO pump. You will either have to get rid of it, or shove it into the 5.25 department (by the way, an idea, especially considering the presence of even serial solutions), or take the pump and / or radiator out of the case . in the latter case, you will have to solve two problems: a) fastening a custom D5 pump (if you want it on the case, the only option is to combine it with a 12mm cooler through special mounts (like easy mount for a processor or homemade ones). There is nowhere to put it stupidly inside, except to combine it with a 140mm cooler, but then the question is whether a top-end video card will fit. b) fixing the radiator (if it is a non-separable CBO, then it is also combined with a 120mm cooler. If it is custom, then only a separate radiator). - if you want to bring out CBO tubes of large diameter 3/8 or 1/2 - then you have to really pervert. For example - look for a slot cover with built-in threaded holes for fittings (such as phobia or aqua computer / alpha cool). If the tubes are large in diameter, then the plugs with fittings will not fit normally (because the jumpers between the slots are too wide), you will have to saw off / bend one or two jumpers. - I don't know who needs 5-6 hard drives now. As a design solution, the HDD bays look cool (moreover, if there is a disk, the light is on). But practically one or two compartments are enough (the other place could be adapted for custom CBOs / pumps / radiators, which they did in the level 20 model). Moreover, modern boards support the installation of two m.2 drives directly on the board (the third and subsequent HDDs, if needed, then as an archive or raid array)
