Thermaltake Level 10 GT Full Tower Case Review

A Detailed Look – at the Inside

As we moved on to the internal features associated with the Level 10 GT, I was highly impressed with how the hinged side panel door worked and the addition of a 200mm fan with custom airflow features for pushing air to different hardware components inside the case. The small plexiglass window at the top of the case is also a nice touch that gives people a sneak peek at the hardware goodness inside.

This case supports micro ATX, ATX, and extended ATX motherboard form factors. An EATX motherboard will barely fit inside, but it is doable. Thermaltake installed the motherboard standoffs and included several rubber cutouts to route cables and keep cable management clean and organized. They also made a large hole behind the motherboard for larger third-party cooling solutions that have oversized backplates. They also made enough room for graphics cards up to 14 inches in length.

The back panel includes a 140mm fan (no LEDs) that runs at 1,000 RPMs and isn’t connected to the fan controller on the top panel of the case. The PCI slots have large thumbscrews, but I prefer a tool-less design that locks all the PCI slots in place at the same time. 

Here’s a quick shot of some of the cable management outlets that route power and data cables from the removable hard drives and can also be used for the optical bays. This is a standard option with many high-end cases that I’ve come to appreciate.

Here’s another photo of the 200mm fan at the top of the case that supports three color LEDs, runs between 600 and 800 RPMs, and can be controlled from the top panel’s fan and LED controller. There’s also a large removable filter over the top of the fan for easy cleaning and convenience.

I removed the left panel to see behind the motherboard tray. I was pleasantly surprised by the included power adapter for routing all the power to the removable hard drive cages. It will make connecting power cables to these devices incredibly easy and I like the plastic clips that lock the optical bays into place as well. 

The bottom of the case also includes several features like another large filter under the power supply and another mount for an additional 120mm fan if users want to expand on the Level 10 GT’s airflow management properties. There are four large case feet made with rubber and plastic that can be configured in different positions. There’s also a small button for opening the hinged side panel door.
