1 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:17,840 today I have an unboxing for you this is 2 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:19,800 caseman if anyone actually remembers 3 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:25,880 where that reference is from in one of my previous NC Tech tips episodes then 4 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:30,400 you get three gold stars of approval or disapproval I'm not really 5 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:35,320 sure because that was ter terrible that was one of the most shameful NC Tech 6 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:40,200 tipped moments of all time the cameraman tried to talk me out of it but he did 7 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:42,239 not succeed this is my unboxing of the 8 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:47,879 level 10 GT so the first thing we're going to see on here 9 00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:51,399 is driving inspiration this is the snow 10 00:00:47,879 --> 00:00:53,160 Edition featuring internal USB 3.0 super 11 00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:57,559 speed so internal means it uses the internal headers not those goofy around 12 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,519 the back reaching through the case coming up behind the back of the io 13 00:00:59,239 --> 00:01:06,920 shield and plug in ones all right we have some specs here so front speed 2 14 00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:12,000 USB 3 super speed Pit Stop five easy swap hard drive Bays triple Max ready 15 00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:16,920 for extra long graphics cards even up to 36 CM which is quite long let me tell 16 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:21,240 you uh quad fan maximum ventilation and cooling guessing it has four fans triple 17 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:26,240 color shift adjustable fan Ambience colors neat cable clear Advanced Cable 18 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:31,159 Management SSS Smart Lock security system and cool flux liquid cooling 19 00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:35,159 ready this is a a very slick looking case if the pictures are anything to go 20 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:39,360 by why don't we go ahead and get it out of the 21 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:44,200 box and then we will see if it looks as good in person as it does in photos so 22 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:48,880 the first thing we find is a very very thick packing foam so we've got about an 23 00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:54,240 inch of foam around the case itself and then an additional inch of puncture 24 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:59,320 prevention space which means even if something were to you know be sharp and 25 00:01:57,039 --> 00:02:04,119 like go through the box it would actually have to go this far yes I 26 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:09,119 punched the Box they would have to go this far and then through the 27 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:13,319 foam in order to reach the case and do any damage so it's quite clear to me 28 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:17,080 that thermal T takes the safety of their products during Transit very very 29 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:22,120 seriously I haven't actually unboxed many thermal take products in the past 30 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:26,040 so this will be a bit of an adventure for 31 00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:28,560 me on the bottom we found another pretty 32 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:33,680 similar piece of foam and finally here we have a black shroud so this is 33 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,560 scratch prevention for the case also very handy to have if you're ever 34 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,680 transporting the case around I'd recommend holding on to that cuz then 35 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:43,640 you can throw it in there with your system in it go to your land party or 36 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:47,239 wherever you happen to be going and your case will not get scratched because if 37 00:02:45,239 --> 00:02:51,000 you have a slick looking case like this odds are you want it to stay slick 38 00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:55,879 looking and not look stupid because it has a big old scratch all the way across 39 00:02:53,239 --> 00:03:01,560 the side of it so I have never actually seen a level 10 GT in person which means 40 00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:06,360 this is going to be a slightly more challenging unboxing for me but let's go 41 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:10,319 ahead and let's start walking through the features so we'll start at the front 42 00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:15,720 on the front we find a few things we find four 5 and 1/4 in Bays which are 43 00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:21,840 convenient and easy to remove by the look of things yes they 44 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:23,400 are we have one 3 and 1/2 in front Bay 45 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:30,480 which is more than enough these days you throw your card reader in there or whatever the case may be we 46 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,360 have a lock for the front panel which is 47 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:40,319 currently locked as far as I can tell we have 1 2 3 4 48 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:45,200 five buttons oh neat 49 00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:49,000 te and maybe that's what's locked that is apparently what's locked right now so 50 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:56,640 these buttons probably do something okay also on the front we have four front USB 51 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:58,720 2 we have our front audio ports we have 52 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:03,480 our hard drive indicator our reset switch and our power switch up at the 53 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:09,840 top we have settings for the fans high and low as well as the fan LED Ambiance 54 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:16,400 Ambiance colors we have super speed USB 3.0 so that is a total of six yes six 55 00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:20,759 front USB ports and finally we have an eat Port which the cameraman is no 56 00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:27,240 longer interested in he is interested in what appears to be a strip of LED 57 00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:29,440 lighting and my guess is that the reason 58 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:33,960 there is no power LED included for this particular particular case is that that 59 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:39,320 lighting is done here and here at the front so I have found 60 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:43,479 the key it was strapped to the back I'm going to I already talked about that 61 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:48,280 he's trying to point out things I forgot he loves that you know uh so here I have 62 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:53,120 unlocked the hard drive cages so check that out so all you got to do is Mount 63 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:59,039 either a 2 and 1/2 in drive or a 3 and 1/2 in drive into this removable sled 64 00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:03,280 lock that back in place or press the button and then you can see here on the 65 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:08,680 bottom is actually a little flat so that allows you to get your fingers in there 66 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:12,400 and pull it out all right so here let's take let's take those all out here I'm 67 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:17,039 just going to press those buttons unlock them there you go this shows you how 68 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:22,960 easily and how quickly you can actually take out all five of the hard drives in 69 00:05:20,039 --> 00:05:26,639 your system which is why it features a lock because that is how quickly 70 00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:32,600 somebody at a landan could take out all of the hard drives in your system 71 00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:37,319 all right moving around to the side we have a small window here at the top 72 00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:40,759 showing you the CPU and RAM area which is a great area to show you because 73 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:46,759 that's likely where your liquid cooling is probably located okay we also have 74 00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:49,520 some ventilation over here including a 75 00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:55,759 headphone hanger I guess that's something that you 76 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:59,080 can attach to that spot oh neat okay and 77 00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:01,280 then here we have a cooling fan which is 78 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:05,520 going to be blowing nice cool air and it is filtered actually there's your 79 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:10,840 removable filter aha push it in unclick it push it 80 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:15,759 back in to lock it back in place so that you've got a removable filter blowing 81 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:20,080 cool air over your graphics card there's a security systems lock so I'm using 82 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:24,599 that same key same key very convenient to unlock the side panel which I'm not 83 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:28,240 going to open up just yet let's have a look at the back of the case first where 84 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:34,199 we have those grommets for liquid cooling if you're using an external 85 00:06:30,039 --> 00:06:36,960 radiator setup we've also got a rear 86 00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:41,000 140/120 mil fan Mount we've got our other security key so there's two just 87 00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:47,360 in case you lose one and we have 1 2 3 4 5 6 78 PCI expansion slots very nice to 88 00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:51,240 see I really like to see high-end cases Having Eight because even with a 7even 89 00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:57,560 PCI slot board sometimes you've got a bottom PCI e6x slot so that way you can 90 00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:59,199 install a dual slot card in it moving 91 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:03,280 along to the other side we see that thermal take has done an excellent job 92 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:07,319 matching the white finish on the metal parts of the case to the white finish on 93 00:07:05,479 --> 00:07:10,080 the plastic parts of the case that is a very challenging thing actually come 94 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:14,520 check it out right here so here's the Front plastic top plastic and the side 95 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:20,160 metal all in one shot so the Finish is very very similar between all of those 96 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,879 parts of the case so give me a oh and 97 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:27,080 cameraman wants to look at the level 10 GT logo down there which is very nice 98 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:30,879 cameraman you did a good job you did good okay give me a second to get this 99 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:35,440 opened up and and I'll be back now my initial thought was to open the side 100 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,599 panel we would actually flip this switch but that didn't do it nope there's an 101 00:07:36,919 --> 00:07:42,560 eject button on the bottom you can see it's labeled with a little eject thing 102 00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:47,599 and you go ahead and swing the door open so that is how you worked on your level 103 00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:49,800 10 GT so what was this switch for well 104 00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:55,039 that will actually redirect the side panel fan air flow either up to the top 105 00:07:52,639 --> 00:08:00,440 or down to the bottom depending where your cooling 106 00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:02,039 needs are so if you have your 107 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:07,560 uh video cards mounted in the bottom you put it there mounted in the top you put 108 00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:08,960 it there oh yeah also you have what I 109 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,599 think is a very cool feature right here you have little contacts here little 110 00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:16,840 contact pads here so that's how this side fan is powered you actually don't 111 00:08:14,759 --> 00:08:20,080 have to worry about routing a cable from the side panel into your case because 112 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:24,759 it's always very difficult to manage that cable because well the case has to 113 00:08:22,599 --> 00:08:27,440 be closed in order for you to Route it and once the case is closed very 114 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:32,719 difficult to do that so I like this that's a good solution okay 115 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,360 moving right along we have our accessories which are in a box right 116 00:08:34,839 --> 00:08:43,760 here so we'll go ahead you know what why don't we look at the accessory package first and then we'll move 117 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:45,959 on Accessory package first thing we find 118 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:50,000 is some cable ties along with the mounting screws for all of our hard 119 00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:57,080 drives and all of our other drives next we find a four eight pin CPU 120 00:08:54,279 --> 00:09:01,040 power extension cable very handy if you have a shorter power supply go ahead and 121 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:07,480 include that haha there's the headphone hanger so this is actually kind of a 122 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,000 neat feature I need one of these uh I 123 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:13,959 mean this one obviously won't fit on my case but there you go you throw that on there boom hang your headphones on there 124 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,200 no big deal oh yeah I have matching headphones check this 125 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,760 out I have cameraman Siberia 126 00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:28,480 headphones yeah yeah does that match or what you buy 127 00:09:26,839 --> 00:09:32,800 steel series headphones throw them on there then you're the wi are okay so 128 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:38,399 let's go ahead get the next accessory thing out so here we have a uh guide 129 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:42,839 manual thing okay that's it still fairly complete accessory 130 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:48,800 package so we've got uh protective covers on the front what front oh that's 131 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:55,120 the eata plug there's your internal HD audio plug front USB 1 front USB 2 your 132 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,760 front switches including your power 133 00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:02,680 switch hopefully somewhere here power switch there you go and uh you also got 134 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:07,800 our front USB 3 cable so that goes to your front panel header we've got some 135 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,880 fan connectors for the internal fans so let's go ahead and I'll show you guys 136 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:15,720 those fans we got a big old guy in the top we've got a big old guy on the side 137 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:19,800 panel we've got our 140 mm fan here in the back so that's where you're going to 138 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,920 be able to mount your uh liquid cooling 139 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:26,360 single 120 mil rad now if you look up here on the top if you take that 230 mil 140 00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:31,800 fanof you've actually got mounting holes for a dual 120 rad as well so this is a 141 00:10:28,959 --> 00:10:35,880 fully liquid cooling ready case very good thinking thermal take all right 142 00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:39,720 we've got grommet holes for our 8 Pin CPU connector gromet holes for anything 143 00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:46,800 that goes up near the top of our motherboard which is pretty much nothing grommet holes for our 24 pin grommet 144 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,240 holes for our PCI Express and finally 145 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,720 grommet holes for our front panel connector so I'd take these put them 146 00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:56,279 right back out that hole where they came from and bring them up in the most convenient places at the bottom of my 147 00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:59,680 motherboard next we have our power supply mounting which includes a 148 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:03,720 removable uh filter so that means you can 149 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:08,240 comfortably Mount your power supply with the fan facing down and it will be held 150 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:13,639 far enough off the ground in order to draw air in appropriately and it will be 151 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:16,480 filtered finally we have power for the that's I'm assuming the front something 152 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:21,160 or other front I don't know something power 153 00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:25,680 for the case oh yeah I know what that's for come around with back with me 154 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,720 cameraman and I will show 155 00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:30,240 you that is not for this actually that's 156 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:35,160 for something okay I don't know what that's for let's find out let's follow 157 00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:36,760 it follow it follow it oh that's 158 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:42,959 probably for the fan controller okay there we go mystery 159 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:46,440 solved I don't know okay I'm not going to worry too much about it here we have 160 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:52,760 what is one of the best features of this case the hot 161 00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:54,720 swap interface so that has five SATA 162 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:59,680 power connectors there you've got five SATA data connectors here so this is one 163 00:11:57,279 --> 00:12:04,639 of the smartest hot swap interfaces I have yet seen it is something that can 164 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:07,480 be very easily taken out if you don't want it you just take out these screws 165 00:12:06,079 --> 00:12:12,120 you take them out you don't want it fine no big deal no hot swap you lock it up 166 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:17,360 done throw away the key no big deal okay then there's no PCB these are straight 167 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:21,279 passrs so you don't run into any problems where you have say for example 168 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:26,760 a compatibility conflict between SATA 2 and SATA 3 because it's just a straight 169 00:12:23,959 --> 00:12:31,320 pass through Copper to Copper no complications involved next you relies 170 00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:35,639 on your own cables so you can actually route the cables however you want you 171 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:40,440 can plug in the power however you want it is fully modular that way and last 172 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:44,199 but not least it is incredibly cheap to implement like this so you're not going 173 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:48,360 to have to pay a ton extra for engineering that you don't 174 00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:52,199 need there you go it's just a smart way to do it as for the 5 and 1/4 in base 175 00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:57,279 the mounting devices are here so these are toolless you go ahead unlock lock 176 00:12:54,839 --> 00:13:02,360 unlock lock pretty standard Fair these days but there you go last but not Le Le 177 00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:06,600 I didn't see these before there are feet so look at that you can get a 178 00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:09,839 little bit more stability for your Tower by letting out the 179 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:15,399 four feet that are along the bottom I'm 180 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:21,760 just going to go ahead and pull all those out there we go and that is it 181 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,760 that is my level 10 GT unboxing and first look and I'm actually pretty 182 00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:28,760 impressed big thanks to Thermal take for sending this for us to check out and 183 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,120 don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and 184 00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:37,440 other computer videos yeah after we finished I found 185 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,959 another uh secret compartment so to 186 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:45,440 speak you just press a button at the back you pop this up so there that's how you take out the included fan and you 187 00:13:43,079 --> 00:13:49,760 install the Dual 120 Ms that you would need for your radiator for something 188 00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:52,760 such as a Corsair h100 something like that
