Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow Edition Chassis Review

Building in the Level 10 GT Snow Edition was simple and painless for the most part due to the vast amount of space internally available. Each cable management grommet was positioned in the ideal location resulting in a clean and attractive build, more so with a modular power supply such as NZXT’s HALE90 or Corsair’s HX series.

The largest coolers such as the Phanteks PH-TC14PE and Gelid Icy Vision easily fit inside the Level 10 GT Snow Edition due to its CPU cooler clearance of around 180mm; big enough for the majority of the CPU cooling market. Graphics cards such as the enormous Radeon HD 6990 will have no interference problems with a gargantuan 360mm of clearance.

After the simple procedure of removing the 200mm roof fan, we can easily fit a 240mm radiator in its place such as the Corsair H100 and still have plenty of room spare above the motherboard.

Organising the plethora of cables behind the motherboard tray is slightly awkward due to the limited quantity of tie-down points. Using a modular power supply and spending some extra time in discovering those little cable management tricks will allow you to achieve far less of a cable mess than we did, but the cables aren’t in viewing access anyway. One point that we are extremely pleased to report is that even with a spaghetti junction look-alike behind our motherboard, we suffered no problems when replacing the side panel.

A black DVD drive will coincide with the black mesh 5.25” bay covers allowing the exterior’s attractiveness to remain high. The 3.5” bay is located in a good position for anybody wanting to insert a card reader or fan controller.

Each of the 3 200mm ColorShift LED fans features 3 LEDs which are controlled by a front panel button. The fan LED colours can be set to green, blue and red or you can even set the fans to interchange between and blend all 3 colours with 2 varying speed settings.
