Description of Computer case Thermaltake Level 20 VT CA-1L2-00S1WN-00
- Spacious Transparent on all sides Perfectly blown 100% tempered tinted glass
- If you have noisy components, then you will hear them, the case has almost no soundproofing due to its design features. There is also no ATX support, in fact, a couple of centimeters more would not have solved anything, the case is already quite healthy.
- Insanely beautiful. Spacious. Easy to assemble and manage cables.
- Temperatures are lame. Compared to the tower Corsair SPEC-03, temperatures inside have risen by about 10 degrees. Very hot air comes out from inside. Six months later, I add that the temperatures of the 3.5 "disks, which are in the back near the power supply bay, are simply catastrophic. In a closed case at 50 degrees. If you open and put the fan on the side (because the front wall nullifies the air flow), it drops up to 35. Dust sticks to the glass. Very much. They also have some traces, mostly from the inside, as if they were sculpting something, although they seem to appear over time. SSDs are installed on the side with the label facing forward. Filters are only in front and on the power supply, although at least at the bottom, if you put the fans on the intake, it is worth installing a filter.
- Flexibility and variety of assembly, the skeleton can be twisted, the motherboard will be horizontal or vertical. Tempered tinted glass.

- Good appearance Good airflow organization: - a complete 200mm fan blows air in front (can be replaced with other smaller ones) up to 4 120mm bags can be installed on top Well suited for installing 2 coolers with 2 section radiators, asm put the cooler on the processor and video card with a 240mm radiator, there are removable rails, which greatly simplifies the installation of radiators, they are removed, put on the radiator, and then after installing the card or water block, they are already snapped onto the processor to the hull. A complete 200mm fan of acceptable quality, without backlight, blows well, makes adequate noise Tempered glass, not plexiglass on all sides Very easy to assemble. Good delivery set
- I’ll make a reservation right away that the following will not be cons, but limiting features: With not the smallest size, ATX motherboards do not fit. When installing a video card with native water and coolant on the processor, the hoses in the case became crowded, and if the case with three transparent walls is positioned as ostentatious, then the view inside will already be so-so. In fairness, I note that this did not affect the performance of the cooling system, at first there was only an RTX 2080 super waterforce video card, and then a coolant for the processor, the temperatures in stress tests did not increase, the fan speed did not increase either. And now the disadvantage, precisely the disadvantage: on the right side of the case there are 3 seats for 2.5 disks, and the sled for them is not only made of the dullest plastic in poor quality, but also the wires are connected there only from above! Okay, the one closer to the front panel, bent the wire there and you can’t see it, but what about those near the back wall? There you already need to pull the wire right along the glass, which spoils the appearance of the assembly, I'll throw off the photo, it really only shows how the processor power wire stretches, but it would be the same with the ssd. I threw 2 places under the ssd into the trash, if only the view was not spoiled . well, there is no hole so that the wire for powering the processor is hidden, you have to drag it, which does not positively affect the appearance
- Case design! I didn’t find anything better to suit my taste, at first I wanted to buy his older model 20xt, but it’s huge, I decided to take this strong man
- Check in the store! the fixing screw was bent, all protective films are dusty
- Horizontal layout of the motherboard Looks trendy by today's standards
- No carrying handles Too clever with the installation of the PSU and 3.5 sled Bolts are messed up in instructions. Huge for microATX
- Looks stylish and breathable. There is a built-in large cooler. Convenient location of usb connectors.
- No space for wires. No matter where you hide them, they will stick out from everywhere. And also for non-removable water cooling, if you mount it from above, you will have to strain a lot to screw everything to the mounts from the case. Everything is out of position there and you really need to use force, bend metal fasteners in order to fasten the dropsy.
