I would like to thank Thermaltakefor providing the Level 10 GT review sample.
Rarely do gaming chassis' share design with luxury sports car manufactures, but Thermaltake is not your ordinary company. In 2009 Thermaltake partnered with BMW to produce the luxurious and exclusive Level 10 gaming case. A unique compartmentalized design drew attention to the sleek structure. The glaring price tag was a speed bump to many potential buyers, but with the release of the Level 10 GT a more cost friendly version has become available. The Level 10 GT recreates a similar design structure and layout but with less compartmentalization and improved airflow. We'll balance the Level 10 GT and see if the redesign will lean towards its modest price or tip on the side of performance.

Packaging
The outer packaging is dynamic and engaging with striking images of the Level 10 GT pictured with a sports car. The front and back are nearly identical while the side is where the list of details are provided. Without proper perspective it's hard to see exactly how massive this box is. The case is rather large and its protective packaging is even larger.
Removing the case from the cardboard packing shows the protective Styrofoam end caps, but what's more notable is the slick black cover. It's a really nice touch to have cloth for protection rather than just a plastic bag.
Contents
Included inside the case is a simple black cardboard box containing all the documentation, screws, and accessories for the Level 10 GT. The standard assortment of case screws and zip ties are present along with a manual, warranty information, and an 8 pin CPU extension cable. An additional accessory is a unique headphone clip that mounts on the side of the case for easy placement of your headphones, a very nice addition and improvement.
