The $999 Thermaltake LEVEL 20 Case

2018-01-11
the level 10 is inspired by level 10 dammit level 20 notes level 10 alright what's up guys I'm Dimitri with Harbor Canucks here at thermaltake checking out their new level 20 so they're celebrating 20 years as a company and this has been inspired by level 10 if you guys recall that for what 10 years ago I'm guessing paneling so obviously you can see that here to triple chamber layouts with the main chamber for your system it's kind of like a compact mid Tower a very large section the front that accommodates radiators and cooling and the reservoirs and tubing and then the top chamber is basically just for your power supply and to accommodate the entirety of this cohesion of this whole channeling there's the giant the biggest rubber grommet that I have ever seen inside there it's kinda hilarious and kind of cool at the same time and by the way this video is sponsored by fan tech schoolmaster and Corsair thanks to our sponsors for making this video possible so starting off with the top IO so we got four USB threes a type C port this is a first for Thermaltake and just the general IO panel and then moving it to this front chamber so I asked them as to why it has to be this big and why this entire case I mean this thing is gigantic you probably gain some you know gains by lifting this thing around but it's about you know perspective and what's the word you know what I'm talking about like when like different sizes what's the word so what I meant to say was that the chambers are laid out this way so that it looks to scale so if you had very nice compact sort of mid tower section here and if this was anything smaller the whole thing would just look you know out of proportions proportions that's the word okay okay so in this front chamber what we can do is basically it's meant to be for radiator and you can mount up to a 480 millimeter at the front it's this wide as well because you can route a reservoir and this whole thing is just kind of just dedicated for you water cooling hardware and one of the cool things is that you can route your stuff from either the bottom or the top into this main chamber and collect and connect everything throughout all right so removing the front panel although I've got locked okay there we go it sits on this like little Tula's hinge at the top and here basically you can see you have full access to that entire chamber you can remove the fan bracket and thus all your fans install your radiator install your reservoir and ya have that entire nice accessibility for that entire thing in the front and in the main chamber as you can see here we have additional rubber grommets above here so you can pass your tubing through that and you don't have to utilize the very bottom or the very top and additionally if you don't potentially want to use any water cooling you can populate 6 Drive caddies that will be for your storage compartment and that's for the side panels so we have three tempered glass side panels and they're all tempered glass nicely tinted with nice blackout perimeter and they're all sit on nice quality hinges and are secured with this tooless mechanism on top now in terms of illumination and the fancy element they're still unclear about what - how many fans to include them what type of LED strips but the built-in LED strips in between the chamber are a nice way to actually separate between the front and this section here and they kind of this transparent illumination that connects to their hubs so you can control the lighting the effects and all that stuff so let's move on to this chamber so here we have EA TX support right now we have a standard ATX motherboard layout at the front here we have another radiator support for 360 mm and radiator or like you can do like a 280 lumen radians in there as well the vertical GPU bracket comes included and it's incredibly sturdy this is not going anywhere at the bottom here so there are some space for SSD caddies and one of the cool things you can notice is the tubing from the front chamber so the whole idea is that you can mount all your water cooling support here and route your tubing below so it's a little bit hidden it's a little bit discreet but as soon as it enters into the main chamber you can go crazy you can use your creativity to disperse that you know that tubing for really cool showcase right now it's a little bit boring but it does showcase on exactly how that tube passes through those chambers and then we enter into this hilarious top chamber again the perspective here needs to be present obviously this which is why this top chamber which houses only a power supply but it looks hilarious because the thing is like another micro ITX or like no micro tech smell like a mini ITX enclosure alright so the power supply is mounted verdict so you can see the fan and their illumination obviously it's a thermo tech power supply that is illuminated but Eber check this out we have this giant like incredibly it's probably the size of an ITX motherboard rubber grommet that allows all your power supply cables and all the tubing to pass through from the main chamber into the power supply chamber and then enter into your you know water cooling chamber there so it's definitely an interesting approach obviously the space gray and the design layout I really like this it's not my style in particular because the thing is just ginormous and I wouldn't know what to do with it but in terms of modularity so because it's aluminum panels you can go crazy with creativity in terms of coloring it or you know doing certain cut outs but unfortunately you can't easily remove the the front front section or the top section and that would be hence something that I would love to see but if you are committed to disassembling this thing it is a possibility so there are some rivets there's some screws so you can go nuts now so for case this size I was expecting to see maybe support for a dual system because this whole thing you know it's quite large you could probably fit something inside and you potentially could but I'm kind of you know it's kind of sucks that thermaltake didn't include that as your default support but they're seeing it as like this really high quality premium enclosure though so people are most likely just gonna do something simple and just enjoy the novelty of having something like it so now comes the price point talk so the thing will be launched at $9.99 so $1000 you know on top of my head is gonna be competing with the Fant excel eat which is $8.99 you know has a lot more options for the user but obviously this thing looks a lot different so if you potentially love the looks and you just fall in love with something that you could potentially explore on how to navigate your hardware throughout all these three chambers then ya go nuts and coming to the back as you can see it's quite bare a little bit standard no tamper claw side panel but of course that aluminum structure is continuing here and I really love this perforation over here because obviously that's where the exhaust happens from that main chamber and use follows the same shoeless approach for removing that side panel and because this case is so wide like like it's really wide you have an inch in some two inches of cable management room so you regardless of what you put in there regardless of how many hubs so many fans somebody whatever cables you will be fine alright guys so that's it for the level twenty what do you think about that large enclosure for the size I feel like the options and the hardware configuration are a little bit limited but maybe that's the whole point is trying to turmeric is trying to channel your particular build into a specific direction so you enjoy the case and you enjoyed the building experience but yeah what do you think of it let me know in the comments below thanks so much for watching we'll see you next video
