Thermaltake Level 20 GT RGB Plus Full-Tower Chassis Review

Peter Donnell / 6 years ago

Complete System

Building a system inside the Level 20 GT is incredibly easy. To say that you have room to spare would be somewhat of an understatement. There’s plenty of elbow room in there, which is going to make fitting custom loop hardware a breeze too. Of course, as I said, fitting any hardware in here is hardly going to cause a conflict or shortage of space.

The PSU shroud looks fantastic, and I love that window panel on it. It’s sized right to show off the hardware, but hide all of the ugly cables.

Cable Hiding

There are loads of cable ties in the box too, so if you do have excess cables, you can bundle them out of sight. It looks messy in there, but again, it’s hidden from view once you close up those side panels and don’t stick your head right inside it.

Routing cable to the GPU is tricky, you can either go from the side of the motherboard, the back of the PSU shroud or out the large opening to the right of the shroud. None of them are as direct as I would like, and perhaps removing the 2.5″ drive mount and giving us a grommet would look cleaner. Either way, it’s still pretty decent.

We’ve gone for an air cooled build, and without a doubt, even the largest air coolers would fit with ease here. You can, of course, find room for a 140mm AIO in the rear, or massive AIOs in the front and top. Then again, if you’re going to use a custom loop, that’s well catered for also.

The amount of space in the front is pretty hilarious. You can fit the thickest radiators on the market, plus push and pull fans, and you’ll still have a lot of room to spare. The GTX 1080 Ti isn’t exactly a small card, but it barely covers half the length of the chassis here. With graphics cards only getting bigger these days, you’ll have nothing to worry about with the Level 20 GT.

Since we’re not fitting radiators in the front, I kept the HDD bays installed, which are really easy to use since they’re all tool free for 3.5″ drives. Of course, you can use the included screws to mount 2.5″ drives also.

Vivid RGB

Those front panel fans (and the rear one) really do throw out a lot of light. They illuminate the cavernous interior with ease. Of course, with their included RGB hub, the TT software, mobile app, and Alexa support, taking control of the colours couldn’t be easier.

With the windows closed, you can see just how important that cable routing is. Everything couldn’t be more on show short of using an open-air test bench. If you like to show off your hardware, this is certainly the chassis to do it with.

With the lights dimmed a little, the RGB gives off some great warmth and glow. Again, you don’t have to stick with rainbow colours, you can do whatever you like with it, but I like this one as it is.

The front panel fans, in particular, look stunning. If you look carefully, you can see the mesh filter in the front panel too, which breaks up the light a little for a softer look.
