Thermaltake Level 20HT inspection & teardown

[@VigneshBalasubramaniam]

My day is now complete with a dose of Adam and Alaina from PCWorld.

[@PedroDavidMoran]

C'mon!. Be honest!. You know its never enough. Once you discover it, or a friend tells you about, or just for being curious you try and watch it, gets you on the hook forever. PCworld :D haha. : P

[@TheVillainOfTheYear]

Love this style of video. You guys are so chill. It really embodies what I love about PC building.

[@TheVillainOfTheYear]

@@pcworldNo problem! All three of you are awesome and do wonders for my blood pressure. Also, I tried some of your Bourbon recommendations from the Dune case build stream. Top notch, my man. Keep it up!

[@loose_tooth]

A wonderful greenhouse of a case.

[@HiWire]

2:02 I love the fact that you can take piece that out. The watercooling ideas are flowing....

[@PjotrII]

Thx! Wanted to know if the middle metal (wall) can be taken out! And it seems to work.

[@desmofan1864]

YES! to building in this! As a fellow noob I cheer for you, Alaina! \o/

[@TheFootOfGold]

I love the looks of this case. You could fire up some benchmarks and throw a few taquitos in there for a nourishing meal.

[@uncleelias]

Just from looking at it, I would think airflow would be poor with the layout of intakes, fans, and exhaust space in that case. I'm interested in seeing if I'm wrong or right. Hopefully they do a longer temperature test of 8+ hours which would represent more closely real world usage for a beast of a cage like that.

[@KravMagoo]

Yeah, I'm interested to see this go through a thermo test. I like the general idea of a roomy case, but having the I/O come out the top seems bizarre and is probably a deal breaker for me. But I'm willing to see what she does with it. Plus, eye candy doesn't cause cavities!

[@RYzE_B3Y0ND]

Really interesting design.

[@dattzy2985]

Have you guys done a video on this case for a build, i just ordered it off amazon, and wanted some reference points

[@dattzy2985]

PCWorld hey thanks for the reply, I’m kinda nervous, this is my first build and it’s definitely not a traditional case to learn in. I’m looking forward to the video if you guys make it! Keep up the great work.

[@vf1764]

That's an impressive breakdown of the case, I also find that really weird about the headset setup and how the usb slots just pop out (I rarely use the ones in the front for that reason). My friend has a cube case and I was pretty jealous of how much space she had!

[@jimmybrannan7303]

I never saw the build you promised with this case.

[@BrianThomas]

Can you install fans on those drive cages? It looks like you can purchase additional drive cages for more than 5 drives. Am I correct in thinking that?

[@KravMagoo]

Please don't take too long to do a follow-up to this video. Needing to make a decision for my 3950x system and this is a contender (although the top exit I/O could be a deal breaker).

[@KravMagoo]

@@pcworld Understandable...I mean, what do cases have to do with PCs?

[@galenlong3745]

I'm all in for a build out of this case, that thing is awesome. Not a bad price either.

[@melgibson6331]

I will keep my raven case...same board orientation but i have lots of optical drive bays plus 8 hard drive bays.

[@magnusnilsson9792]

Nice review, but I prefer my core V21. I like the top IO and the orientation of the bottom, but all placings of all the fans are stupid. Are you supposed to use the fans to wash the glasspanels? This also has a lot of volume that is unused, I could probably fit a 20L aquarium with fishes in this case.

[@wolfshetzer9623]

At this price, I would expect more sharp metal edge padding. Because for the USB cable and Displayport cable this is necessary in the upper part.

[@unicronbot]

Great info😀

[@the360gaming5]

Cool video

[@Trotroyanas]

Hi where i can buy hdd case and support for 16 disks ? i don't find on web site thermaltake ?

[@swizzol7757]

Any chance you can tell me the measurements of the 4 tempered glass panels of this case? Been trying to find out the specs for just the panels themselves!

[@RepaireroftheBreach]

How does the exhaust through the top work when the glass lid is over the fans? *facepalm*

[@TheVillainOfTheYear]

I think NZXT spoiled me with their cases ever since the S340. I want my case made of metal. I don't buy CoolerMaster, Thermaltake, or those other older case companies because I don't want my $2k investment housed in a giant McDonald's toy. Despite that, it's a cool design and I'd love to see you guys do a build in it.

[@anonimuso]

Wow. I never knew Alaina was so strong. She doesn't look intimidating, but she's the PCWorld equivalent of One Punch Man.

[@carlosguerrero5330]

best expain ever !!! ty

[@AleksandrT_aka_beos]

15:22 a small miss - feat NOT 30cm, but 30mm :)

[@jajwarehouse1]

This case seems like it would be ok for display at some convention, but rather impractical for real use at home, but I am not into building cases just for show so maybe it is perfect for the many people who are. At least Alaina did not get any nasty gashes in her hands, which was surprising as much as she kept rubbing every edge and corner inside the case.

[@btdtgg]

Is there room to mount an AIO rad on top?

[@djrocc-jamaica3527]

Hey Guys, where is the build?

[@Struktualnyj]

As for me, you can do this videos without cases, just Aliana is fine.

[@HelmetVanga]

how is this compare to the TT 900 Snow edition ????

[@gamingdad2549]

I don't see the point of the plastic vents each side of the glass, since each side of the glass has a 2 foot gap between the glass and the plastic vents.

[@mohankashyap3534]

water cooling system! no. when it will be built?

[@willsutton54]

really need to see a build in it.....

[@scottwatschke4192]

Very versatile case. I like but the price is a bit high for so much plastic.

[@armandodiaz3485]

Does the case allow for placement of the GPU in a different location/area via use of an extension cable?

[@Mach141]

No, there are no mounting provisions, as seen in the video.

[@con7rl670]

is that a mini fridge?

[@tarkkaya755]

what is the brand of the band on your arm

[@tarkkaya755]

@@pcworld thnx :)

Never thought bout cooling the cpu with an Aquarium.

[@PedroDavidMoran]

Sorry, Im late.Ill go now to check the Hydro X video. See you around.

[@kevinsears362]

You should have no problem setting up dual reservoirs in a case that size even if you’re new to water cooling. However I would not recommend this to new PC builders.

[@colinlord3735]

Dual loop is not that hard. I wouldn’t use hydrox as this is meant to show off higher end custom cooling.

[@cakeisalie]

unrelated, but anyone know what keyboard that is?

[@cakeisalie]

@@pcworld thanks, expected a reply but not from you guys :)

[@joshuaboy]

I bet thermals are awful. The fans blow into the glass and there is hardly any place for intake except for the bottom of the case. And the bottom is nearly flush with the table.

[@lovescamaros1]

thermals are pretty good and bottom clearance is as well.

[@fullmetalt-shirt8355]

Thermaltake has some good, affordable cases... this ain't one of 'em.

[@StarsMarsRadio]

16:09 Rodney Reynolds, 3DGAMERMAN wherever you are, I know you're happy now.

[@mad0nion929]

Since i had a Core X9, i dont like those TT Cube Cases anymore.. All the Features and installation Options you could use, "aren't" meant to be used "in the same time". If you Install (for example) a Radiator on Spot A, you cant use the Drive Cages, or the PSU needs to seddle on a differennt Spot..etc...etc... This Case, for Example, has just one Install point for a Radiator in the back chamber, the other Side needs to stay free for the PSU, so if you think this is a Rededesign of a Tower 900... nope... just "kind of" ... So its always the same, if you Use "A", You'll lose Option "B".. That was the Moment, when i started thinking: No, TT! Thats NOT what i've paid for!"

[@benitograanoogst2574]

I would like an ITX or mATX version

[@turbofanlover]

That is one weird case, man.

[@alaskanhybridgaming]

Like always I will never buy a Thermaltake

[@purplecrayon7281]

14:10 Alaina said the C word.

[@Mach141]

Other than an abundance of cable management space (the abyss...lol) I can see absolutely no reason anyone would want to build inside this monstrosity. Water cooling? No thanks. Too gimmicky and unnecessary. A 2 reservoir build? That's a hard pass.

[@lovescamaros1]

why build a computer at all? We want the ability to customize for looks and performance and you are not exactly cooling an overclocked cpu with air, are you? I don't exactly want a build with 10 fans as that totally unnecessary and ugly.

[@purplecrayon7281]

The amount of time it took Alaina to talk about a theoretical build, she could have done a real build inside the case.
