[btarunr]

Thermaltake, a leading premium gaming tower manufacturer, announced the immediate availability of Thermaltake Level 20 VT Micro Chassis. Thermaltake is thrilled to show the latest TT Premium product line - the Level 20 Series which commemorates 20 years of dedication to the PC industry. The Level 20 VT is the pocket rocket of the Level 20 series, offering massive support inside an M-ATX footprint. The Level 20 VT is designed to prove that micro cases don't have to be small on power. It boasts a 200mm fan preinstalled at the front as well as great liquid cooling support, four 4mm tempered glass panels and interchangeable panels with filters. The VT also has a split-level design with a flat motherboard tray that lets you hide away cables, while showing off liquid cooling hardware at the top. The Level 20 VT takes our latest case innovations and wraps them in an ultra-modern, space-conscious style that's utterly unique in the case market today.



Exclusively "Tt LCS Certified"
Tt LCS Certified is a Thermaltake exclusive certification applied to products that pass the design and rigorous hardcore enthusiast standards that only the world's best LCS chassis are held to. The Tt LCS certification was created so that we at Thermaltake can clearly convey to power users and enthusiasts which chassis are built and tested to be best compatible under extreme liquid cooling configurations. This ensures you get the best performance, compatibility and features.

Features of Thermaltake Level 20 VT Micro Chassis:

Big Possibilities, Small Footprint
The Level 20 VT is all about big things coming in small packages. The VT supports M-ATX motherboards, as well as CPU coolers up to 185mm in height, VGA lengths up to 350mm and PSU sizes up to 200mm in length. It also supports up to two 240mm radiators side-by-side in the top panel, or one 280mm at the top or along the side. Meaning you can fit plenty of top-end hardware in this little case.

Chamber Design
The Level 20 VT is optimized for space management. It's divided into two main chambers: the upper chamber is made to house the motherboard and PCI-E components, while the lower one is made for the PSU and drive bays. Thanks to the removable 2.5"/3.5" drive device racks, there is plenty of flexibility to fit larger components or build a custom liquid cooling loop.

Advanced Ventilation
The Level 20 VT comes preinstalled with one 200mm front fan and boasts space for up to two front 140mm fans, one 140mm rear fan and two 140mm fans on the top. If you're building a liquid cooling system, it can also handle 280mm, 240mm, 140mm and 120mm radiators.
Intake areas are also protected by removable dust filters, installed in the front, top and bottom of the case to shield your hardware from particles in the air.

Four 4mm Tempered Glass Panels
The front, top and side panels are all built from our ultra-durable 4mm tempered glass. This means the panels are more resistant to dust and scratches than acrylic and provide a clearer view of internal components.

Speedy Transmission
The side I/O ports features two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 to grant users easy access for speedy transmission.

Availability, Warranty, Compatibility
Level 20 VT Micro Chassis will be available in August, 2018, via the Thermaltake worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors. Level 20 VT Micro Chassis is backed by a three-year warranty and supported by the Thermaltake worldwide customer service and technical support network.

I'll tell you...I must have gone to sleep and woken up in a parallel world of some sort. It can't be anything else...

When I'm looking at ThermalTake products and going ooh ahh...and then looking at Lian Li and thinking to myself what the hell? There has to be something wrong.....

But I digress.

Nice case.....

Best,

I loved my V21. A nitpick is that I didn't like the acrylic panel, TG was already a thing (but not when V21 was released, it is an old case). It was all function and almost none of the looks. And the 20 VT just looks awesome but airflow-wise it is a complete mess. It went from one extreme to the other. I just wanted 1 attachable TG panel for the sides. But keep the top and bottom like they were before, it doesn't kill anyone to have some mesh here and there if you do it right.

Look at Fractal Design Meshify series. In fact, I have two because they are everything most people want, nice looks and meshed front and top. Want it nice and quiet? Go for the Define series which arguably has better/studier build quality.

Problem is most M-ATX cubes and mid-towers are almost the size of ATX, luckily Fractal Design always manages to impress me in that area.

And the 20 VT looks just as large as the V21, in a side orientation it could fit an ATX motherboard if you wanted to (I've done this and used it as a test bench), you just wouldn't be able to use the I/O with the panels on. Not many people will run dual 240mm radiators in this case I think. With such a beast you might as well get a proper ATX case, unless ya really like cubes and have the horizontal space.

I found the V21 having way too much wasted space and reviews of 20 VT seem to have the same problem. Did it really take this long for Thermaltake to make this case, it's a slightly retooled V21. That performs much worse in temperature tests. I am not impressed.

I'm looking for something like this, but unfortunately my mobo is standard ATX. So far I've only found one model from CoolerMaster.
