Thermaltake Level 20 Battlestation RGB Gaming Desk - can a DESK be worth £1199?

Stupid product? Still a better investment option than apple's 999$ aluminum stand

[@LRRPEXILE]

정지호 Your Apple comment is irrelevant, trying to justify the cost reasons is stupid we’re PC gamers and this TT Sit-Stand Desk for $1200 is Ridiculously Stupid!... Just because TT is adding RGB LED and a Giant Mouse Matt to really cover the split desk top doesn’t justify the pricing TT!!!.. You have other companies selling these motorized sit stand desk with accessories (package deals) at higher measurements for $700 - $800 depending on your custom style. Nowadays you also have IKEA with a new good solid motorized sit stand desk for $600 or just buy the frame and create your own style, saving you an easy $500-$600 that can go towards PC hardware, peripherals or whatever.

[@TjAndersonMMA]

LRRPEXILE calm the fuck down it's a joke. Kinda

[@ironmatto3]

Are you dumb LRRPEXILE? his comment is relevant... this desk pisses on Apple entirely.

[@stompi3]

There is a flaw in the like dislike voting with this type of video... I bet those who disliked this video dont like the desk and that is why they voted dislike... or they are rich spoilt brats who did not like your honest review on this ridiculously priced desk that you could find one in amazon for 100 pounds that will also hold your PC, and if you do your research on the size you only have to buy it once and not adjust it every day... I mean really, unless your going to sleep on it daily (lol) the point of moving desk up and down is fruitless... unless you rich folk have many fake friends of different sizes coming over to play and free load of your cash the sure get a motorised desk... but other than that, your desk and PC is for you, and you alone.. the one and only end user, no one else. Keep being awesome Kit Guru.. love and light

[@PolaroidMemory]

I recently bought the Ikea Bakant Sit/Stand desk and it's utterly brilliant. Easy to put together and extremely well made. Can handle to big heavy load, probably not as much as this one but I have a massively heavy Coolermaster Stormtrooper full case so I keep it under the table where its out of the way and I get more space up top, not that there is any shortage of space up top either as its a 180cm by 80cm so ...ahem long and deep.... Perfect for 4 or so monitors on arms or three on the top itself. (I personally have a couple of 32" screens, keyboard, massive mouse mat and my flight stick and hotas with a massive amount of empty real estate) The motor is silent and the cable tidy's are very good. It doesn't have any RGB but I've never really been a fan, you could probably buy a few strips for quite cheap and place them on quite easily. This was £505 and I highly recommend it. So I don't know if I would pay the extra for such a desk.

[@andydbedford]

Brutally honest review.... love it, thank you for the video, this caught my eye in several you tube channels who were in Taiwan and quite fancied it, but not at that price.

[@Zefram0911]

I don't care about a 1200 shiny desk, but I like Leo.

[@jonathanellis6097]

For the price I would expect it to be a desk/case, so a desk that's also your pc case. The price for just a desk is outrageous!

[@maze4184]

@Kit K 4k 120hz are like 3k€ each xD

[@naypalmacus]

My thoughts as well, too expensive for an adjustable height desk. ~£1350 gets you one Lian Li DK-04X a far superior desk.

[@dutchdykefinger]

for that kind of money i think i'd get a motorized desk, then go to ali express, get myself a couple of meters of 60 rgb leds/meter strip with diffused coating for like 6 bucks a meter, tape it around the desk myself, and get busy with an arduino (or ESP32 if you want the wi-fi and bluetooth functions) i've had my PC under the desk for years, sure it requires a bit more cleanup as the dust tends to go there, but lower temperatures also go there, so i guess it's a tradeoff. besides, more room for clutter on the desk!

[@ssmeshedy]

Intro was amazing 👍🏼

[@kraziivan_]

Does this desk do 4K at 144hz?

[@TjAndersonMMA]

yep

[@wahab5356]

No but will make your pc do that...

RGB gaming bed

[@naturalrestingface4909]

MDF? Not even pine which would make the desk a lot lighter too and give you a choice of look. IKEA all the way which is also height adjustable and buy my own RGB strips. With 9 RGB fans, RGB ram, RGB cooler and my new RGB socks I think I'm good!

[@mrballbreeder3749]

For that price they should include a pc build under the table , real Oak wood top and not the cheap MDF and less weight . overpriced junk to me.

[@dutchdykefinger]

yeah they should at least throw in a cheap ryzen 2600 build or something lol my "desk" is an old gifted kitchen top with some legs bolted under it :')

[@TjAndersonMMA]

There's a cheaper one without rgb for around half the price. Some other stuff is a bit different but yeah

[@LeoDavidson]

I wouldn't mind one, and weight limits were something that put me off most motorised desks, but not for that price.

[@Doobie3010]

[@vaeloreonari7516]

Now you need to make a call over to Steve at Gamers Nexus to make you a custom Mod Mat to put on top of your new metal behemoth to make it actually useful!!

[@Iwishitwas1985]

If it had pass-through cabling and awesome cable management for your entire set up maybe 1/2 price but 1200 I don't see it.

[@jonnythecroww]

just bought the same desk minus the lights and motor (oh no ill have to manually adjust the height via the knobs) for £350 for a desk of this quality thats not bad i think

[@UltraVista007]

Question: this desk can be lowered to min 70 cm, but how is this 70 cm measured? From the bottom or the top of the table?

[@zombl337og]

Just buy the non rgb, manual height adjust version for $400......save $800

[@thisguy7514]

can one buy those lights that the table uses? if so where?

[@MethodWive]

If you buy professional desks with this features (i don't care about rgb) almost always 1000-3000 i don't know about the uk

[@KaioStudio]

Thanks for review. I rather getting a lighter desk with bigger board and less elevation power. This price is really excess. Also, I don’t want to have another heavy furniture on second floor.

[@lactobacillusprime]

That's a nice descent made! :)

[@dimyz7435]

I found the desk at 420€ new in a store of my city, at that price is a deal or better go to another desk?

[@mfdsuk]

Crazy price. How many of these do they think they are gonna sell.

[@brettjlim]

can it handle an FULL TOWER case? will it bend?

[@LastRightsTV]

2019 the year that a desk costs over 1000$ I would NEVER pay anything near this price.

[@dutchdykefinger]

here i sit, in front of a desk made from an old (free) kitchen top with some legs bolted under it. it's sturdy though :)

[@maxabillon]

Cheap MDF used, no Anti Static mouse matt, give me real wood & look any day with GN Anti Static mouse matt. get a big reel of RGB lights for under £20 with remote, motors = sound & can go bad.

[@luho1346]

Those RGB strips look like absolute garbo... Like they are literally some cheap RGB sticks laid into a groove on the table. For 2k i want a prettier and more professional looking option

[@hoppyrabbit1833]

For that money you can have a geforce rtx 2080 Ti xc gaming card. Considering I'm still using a gtx 980 ti, I know which I'd rather have!

[@connorwilson4357]

IT's going for £900 nowadays. Still slightly overpriced but £300 less, so way more realistic for high end gamers

[@felixhousecat2566]

Unbelievably expensive. No way I would pay that kinda money for something like that.

[@randalldraco3822]

Do TT provide exchangeable mats? The one bundled sooner or later will be dirty, scratched etc. At this price point, this desk should contain pc chassis with build in water loop, tempered glass surface, headphones hanger, mic boom, and monitor arm. And with build in touch screen controller. :) On a part when you assembled it, it was clear how cheap it is made. Nope, just no. Really bad design. I can imagine making a desk like this DIY for £150.

[@hirokageyama4422]

Where i can buy it?

[@stompi3]

Perfect for the human being with more money than sense lol

[@nullzero821]

is it fair to say the price like the intro was a bit of a let down? lol

[@NORFIE123456]

In all honesty Leo, I would've preferred TT to have built an actual desk PC for that money...my entire double bed with headboard was/is cheaper than that desk... =/

[@williamdawson6351]

I see the person who has more money then brains buying this one and I agree the beginning of the video was funny, in all it is a over priced toy for person who has to have the latest thing just to have it. A waste of money.

[@Kundalini12]

Motorised desk on Amazon with a weight limit of 80KG (which is enough, who has a 150KG computer?) for £400. Utterly ridiculous price, basically paying for the brand and the lights. I clicked on this video because I thought it was going to be a desk that you could build a PC inside. But one that just goes up and down, and lights up? No thanks.

[@seriouscharles]

That this desk could carry a human man's weight intrigues me. I see it lowers you but will it lift you as well? Its less than half the size and much lighter than my current desk and way cheaper by more than a quarter. (Think custom two levels. Think 9 feet wide. Think heavy tube steel on wheels.) Mind you mine does not go up and down or have rgb. I use mine for 3d graphics video editing and sound design. I would be curious to see if it sags in the middle after a year of use. Over the last 30 years I have gone through several desks so I appreciate any attempt by manufacturers to make a 12 hour animation session more bearable. I like the uppie downie thing but that split in the middle wouldn't last under the type of use I would put to it. I have had to laminate support into more than one leaf dining tables in my travels. (Dining tables are too tall and will give you shoulder cramps after a while) The Rgb would be more than useless I already have huge screens shining light at me. When surfaces are lit from behind like that you cant see what is on them so forget notes or sketches. That said this desks would have appealed to me size wise back when I was only running 2 workstations. Perfect for a couple of towers and monitors with the keyboard (Musical) and such stack on its own stand to the side. I would say it may seem expensive today but if it is still kicking around 8 years later and still working this could be a very smart buy/investment. I also use Noble Icon Chairs.

[@KitGuruTech]

Ref the lift, yes indeed. That's how I got up to 110cm in the first place, before my graceful descent to 70cm

[@seriouscharles]

@@KitGuruTech Elegant descent indeed.

[@MaxeeG]

What kind of time is that to wake up? 😁

[@KitGuruTech]

When you review PC hardware you get up around tea time and put in 30 or 40 minutes hard graft before it's Pub O'Clock. As Ronnie Reagan said 'Hard work never killed anyone but why take the risk?'

[@01Gamemaster10]

I can buy a 5 cm thick Solid oak tree desk (1mx2m) for 700 Euros. WHY should you buy this peace of crap if you can buy the above for almost half the price.

[@mfdsuk]

You could even get a solid oak kitchen worktop and screw some nice stainless steel legs into it for a quarter of that. Like a 3m run of oak worktop is only about £100...

[@BuGGzLoVeRsTech]

Lol that was epic 🤣👍

[@Bazlightyear007]

overpriced would be an understatement. you could build this with better RGB integration with other smart lighting for literally half the price. Want a big name? Stick a freebie sticker on it for 10p.

Looks like a glorified sit/stand desk I mean you even have to assemble it like any other Ikea desk and yet you still have to pay way more! The RGB should be implemented in a more elegant way for this kind of cost. What a rip off this is. Not much innovation went into this desk for gamers I mean even the cable management it provides looks pathetic.

[@tehsimo]

This is the most pathetic attempt at a high end product I've ever seen. shoddy rubbery RGB floppy phalus laid into a routing around the edge, gaps in the outer edging, a gaping crevasse in the middle!
