Thermaltake Level 20 Series EXPANDS & Gets Cheaper!

2018-06-07
what's up guys I'm Dmitry here at turbo Wow I was expecting that you know I've done that to him so that was a that was very nice coffee our guard well done Eber all right so we're here at thermal take as usual they have a bunch of awesome mods builds that we're gonna show you guys later but this my friends is the new level 20 family we had a few siblings for their level 20 ginormous case make sure to check out the fool little overview that we did at CES but this thing has now evolved into these three little guys but before we tell you about those huge thanks to Thermaltake fantex and Coolermaster for making this trip possible alright so let's start with the level 20 GT so this thing obviously it carries a similar design language as the original level 20 very wide body space gray materials this is all steel and plastic construction and tempered glass on the top the front and both sides so for side panel tempered glass the only thing we need now later is a tempered glass for the back I mean who hasn't done yet well we see that hopefully maybe but here we have 200 millimeter of aluminum so for the front we have 200 millimeter fans that can also be installed at the top now the tempered glass here obviously is a little bit of a choking thing but they have narrow the tempered glass so there are a little bit spacing here that will also increase in the final production so we can get nice air flow intake from the from the front and the same thing for the exhausting ones to the top I can feel a lot of air coming out from from these tiny little sections surprised but by that but it will also be slightly expanded for the final release the i/o here is separated into two so all power buttons here and then the USBs are here with a USB type-c gen 2 at 60 millimeters for the actual length of the cable which is awesome so you can route it whatever you want especially for case that is this large so that's great now both side panels feature this swivel mechanism with the old-school locking mechanism to they are magnetic they simply just attach to the side which is awesome and the reason why this case is so wide is because you can rotate the GPU section so you can have you know your standard GPU vertically or horizontally or you can simply rotate that GPU bracket and have all those PCI lanes vertically which is kind of cool it's definitely an expansion of this the whole dual slot for the vertical you know for the frame but now the whole PCI area can be rotated to accommodate this direction the power supply shroud only covers half of the case the rest of it can be used to populate water cooling components so that's obviously thermal takes approach because the whole thing about this one is water cooling gigantic radiators lots of space for all types of stuff and here we also have the side radiator mount where you can mount a 420 ml radiator so lots of options and yeah quite wide let me know what you guys think about the level twenty GT so the level twenty GT price-wise is one eighty nine without any fans so let me know what you think about that price point and 289 so $100 more for dual two hundred million fans and one one forty exhaust so now let's move on to the level 20 X T so this one is you know joking around a little fat uncle going on over here very unconventional but it is based on the core x9 frame so if you've been eyeing the core x9 and actually like the whole tempered glass approach that has that characteristics of the level 20 then this my friends is your pic the IO is filled four years B's one type C sixty millimeter cable here again these cases are so wide so we can have two hundred millimeter fans on the front and the top the top has a really awesome bracket but here the front as you can see we also have these gaps between the tempered glass so the airflow can enter you know it is slightly choked off but potentially they'll open this up a little bit more for the final release the pricing is not yet available but the cool thing about this one is it's an ATX form factor and the motherboard is not you know it's not sitting there like like you would on other cases the motherboard is staying horizontal which means you have to have this sort of wide form factor to accommodate for it EA TX motherboards and XL ATX motherboards are supported with additional brackets that potentially may be included to expand that model board area and the whole thing here is like if you want a ultimate water-cooling build load this thing with lots of fans and if you have the space for something like the XT it's it's a possibility especially because of that horizontal motherboard location if you're populating multiple graphics cards that is a popular spot when the motherboard is laying flat so there is no that there's no you know stress on the on the PCI slots now behind the glass of the top here is this giant mesh filter it's not necessarily for airflow because dust will still accumulate on top of the glass but it is to cover up this interior because otherwise will feel too open and so this one kind of closes it off I do like this approach and you can also remove it and this is how you access the top filter top fan bracket excuse me so you can mount all your types of fans a fourtwenty and even 480 member radiators up top so potentially you can have two brackets for like an extreme water cooling system this thing can accommodate dual power supplies or you can have a power supply and a giant radiator at the bottom or a combination of like a something smaller in front the power supply so it is tall it is wide it is big that's the XD alright so the final sibling of the level 20 family is the level 20 VT it is based on the core V 21 enclosure so it is micro ATX based and so here we have again four panels of tempered glass and the cool thing about the three panels here are they're interchangeable so you can potentially swap this panel for here because one of them two of the panels are slightly spaced out to allow for air flow to either exit or intake and so here we have a 240 millimeter radiator right now set to exhaust and micro ATX motherboard with a vertical GPU bracket a single 200 millimeter fan a 140 mm exhaust fan power supply at the bottom you can mount six hard drives in here with three SSDs sorry and then three additional hard drives so if you're potentially looking again for that horizontal mountable mount for micro ATX system the VT obviously it has that same characteristics similar spacing on the front panel to allow that front airflow to enter and the spacing for the other panels for the air to exit no type-c at the front however this VT is a $99 price point with a single 200 millimeter fan included so it's nice to have more micro TX options available on the market and it's kind of cool to have this like lineup of level 20 family micro TX this gigantic thing of the XT and then the GT over there alright good people so that is the new level 20 line GTX t VT nice little you know range of enclosures and one thing that we do have to appreciate with this naming scheme I mean it's two letters right so as long as you memorize those it's not like a gigantic 30 word model name so thank you that for that thermaltake alright guys so that's it let us know what you think of these three cases in the comments below and which of these would you like us to review I'm Dimitri thanks much for watching check out these other relevant videos and we'll see you in the next video
