The Level 10 From Thermaltake – When Weird is Beautiful

For the latest in desktop tower design, look no further than the Thermaltake Level 10.  But be warned, this case is like nothing you’ve seen before.  Ever.

Designed jointly by Thermaltake and BMW Group DesignWorksUSA, the Thermaltake Level 10 Extreme Gaming Station picked up the IDEA 2009 Bronze Award.  That means cutting edge and unique.  Which really doesn’t even begin to describe the design.

The first time you see the Level 10, it looks like it’s missing parts.  The case doesn’t follow normal, mainstream design concepts.  Instead, the designers decided to focus on functional parts.  The whole thing is designed around a giant vertical heatsink, which acts as one of the sides of the case.  The rest of the design take a modular approach, with components occupying their own individual space.  The end result is a case that appears to be made out of large black Legos.  The overall effect, however is a modern modular masterpiece.

Some of the features of the Level 10 Extreme Gaming Station include, as stated above, a modular, easy-to-access design, a built in handle, and a locking system to help protect individual parts from theft.  It will support ATX and Micro ATX form factors with up to 8 expansion slots.  The case also includes space for up to six hard drives, including 3.5”, 2.5” and SSD drives.  The whole thing measures 24.17 x 12.52 x 26.22 inches and weighs in at 47.11lb.
