On paper, the Level 10 chassis reads about as beastly as it looks. Measuring 614mm x 318mm x 666.3mm, it's unmistakably huge. Weighing in at 21.37kg, it's also twice as heavy as other similarly-sized enclosures. If Thermaltake wanted to make a statement with sheer size and volume, they succeeded.
Aside from its size, Level 10's specification is fairly standard for a chassis of such large dimensions. There's a decent selection of ports on the front I/O panel - albeit without FireWire - and support for a standard ATX power supply. Surprisingly, the giant chassis supports only ATX / micro-ATX motherboards, but there's plenty of room elsewhere - including space for a total of nine drives, as well as eight expansion slots.
Cooling, for the most part, comes courtesy of a 140mm front intake and a 120mm rear exhaust. Doesn't sound entirely comprehensive for a chassis of this size, but Level 10's component arrangement is said to "modulate the airflow to perfection". With that in mind, let's unbag the beast.
