Thermaltake Level 10 GTS Snow Edition Review - PAGE 1

Thermaltake has become nearly a(n enthusiast's) household name in computing since their inception in 1999. Operating with around 500 employees worldwide, this medium sized company started making waves with their 'Golden Orb' processor cooler back when turbine heatsinks were as of yet unheard of. Since then they have expanded to several different enthusiast PC component markets including liquid cooling, case fans, power supplies, and last but not least, cases. Thermaltake cases have come a long ways from the days of the first Thermaltake Armor, though most would argue that they had it right the first time as that particular case is definitely in among the top ten favorites of case aficionados.

Thermaltake's Level 10 series shows demonstrates their desire to expand on their line-up. Born as a collaboration between Thermaltake's engineering team and BMW's DesignWorks group, this series of cases is characterized by the compartmentalized design structure. With the GTS series, most of the really neat design features have unfortunately been sacrificed, but the resulting cost savings should more than make up for this as most individuals cannot afford, much less justify, spending $700.00 on the original Level 10 cases.

The Level 10 GTS "Snow Edition" is under the Neoseeker spotlight today. This case has been designed around the standard rectangular tower form factor that defines 90% of all cases on the market, but hopefully some of the nice features of the full-fledged Level 10 will shine through.
