Case type

[BobSki]

For my new build I was considering whether to put it in a new case. I currently have a Lian-Li full tower case which is perfectly servicable but I was wondering about the Thermaltake Level 10GT

I always thought "Airflow is king" and therefore to have space and room for air movement around the components would be best. This case however seems to compartmentalise the components which would fly in the face of my "airflow is king" idea.

What are your thoughts on it please guys.

That is a nice case, however you need to look at some reviews and then make up your mind if you need too, or want too spend $275.00 on a case. Myself I would spend the extra cash upgrading the powwersupply or video card. Maybe an SSD drive. I do understand the "want too" part of that. lol I have spent a lot of cash on parts that I wanted, but not needed. That Tt case has fans everywhere so air flow is not an issue.

I too wanted some serious air flow for my R4E motherboard so I ended up choosing the Switch 810, now I have 11 fans installed with a H-100 in push/pull config. Check out this video review.

Of all the affordable towers I reviewed, this seems to have a lot of air flow...1- 230mm fan in front, 1-200mm fan on top with room for 1 more. 140mm in back, 200mm on side case. I put an extra 200mm on top.
