The Level 10 GT arrives in a nicely designed case box - emphasising USB3.0 integration. Although there is an outline of a BMW, unlike the original Level 10 the GT isn’t in collaboration with BMW but Thermaltake are still keen to take advantage of that previous partnership. There are some further details on the sides and back as always, and inside the case is kept fixed in place via polystyrene pillars and protected with a black cloth cover.
Level 10 GT packaging
Inside the actual case we have an accessories kit with a series of items such as: instructions manual, product catalogue, headset holder, cable tidies, 8-pin to 8-pin and 4-pin and various screw types for different devices.

Moving to the case, we get our first glimpse of the Level 10 GT’s visual appearance. Judging by the width of the box I knew the case would be considerably wide. The Level 10 GT is essentially the little brother to the original Level 10. The original Level 10 has a much more radical design arrangement and can definitely be deemed as having a totally unique design layout – the GT at least resembles the layout of a traditional case although it does carry with it some traits from the original case – it’s just smaller, lighter and looks more “case-like” compared to its elder.
As you can see from the prominent side, we have 5 external HDD trays located on the side. A large extended box/mesh panel that houses a large 200mm fan (with removable dust filter), some locking mechanisms and a Perspex window to view hardware inside.
The prominent side has plenty of features
Over the other side the side panel has no distinguishing features as such but does have some typography, some finely placed lines and contours and a carry handle for moving the case around.
The reverse side with carry handle
From our initial look there’s no doubting the Level 10 GT has plenty of features to talk about but let’s take a closer look now at the exterior and interior.
