WEBVTT

00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:17.840
today I have an unboxing for you this is

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:19.800
caseman if anyone actually remembers

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:25.880
where that reference is from in one of my previous NC Tech tips episodes then

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:30.400
you get three gold stars of approval or disapproval I'm not really

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:35.320
sure because that was ter terrible that was one of the most shameful NC Tech

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

00:00:36.760 --> 00:00:42.239
not succeed this is my unboxing of the

00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:47.879
level 10 GT so the first thing we're going to see on here

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:51.399
is driving inspiration this is the snow

00:00:47.879 --> 00:00:53.160
Edition featuring internal USB 3.0 super

00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:57.559
speed so internal means it uses the internal headers not those goofy around

00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:01.519
the back reaching through the case coming up behind the back of the io

00:00:59.239 --> 00:01:06.920
shield and plug in ones all right we have some specs here so front speed 2

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:12.000
USB 3 super speed Pit Stop five easy swap hard drive Bays triple Max ready

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

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:21.240
you uh quad fan maximum ventilation and cooling guessing it has four fans triple

00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:26.240
color shift adjustable fan Ambience colors neat cable clear Advanced Cable

00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:31.159
Management SSS Smart Lock security system and cool flux liquid cooling

00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:35.159
ready this is a a very slick looking case if the pictures are anything to go

00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:39.360
by why don't we go ahead and get it out of the

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

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

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:54.240
inch of foam around the case itself and then an additional inch of puncture

00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:59.320
prevention space which means even if something were to you know be sharp and

00:01:57.039 --> 00:02:04.119
like go through the box it would actually have to go this far yes I

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:09.119
punched the Box they would have to go this far and then through the

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

00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:17.080
that thermal T takes the safety of their products during Transit very very

00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:22.120
seriously I haven't actually unboxed many thermal take products in the past

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:26.040
so this will be a bit of an adventure for

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:28.560
me on the bottom we found another pretty

00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:33.680
similar piece of foam and finally here we have a black shroud so this is

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.560
scratch prevention for the case also very handy to have if you're ever

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:39.680
transporting the case around I'd recommend holding on to that cuz then

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

00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:47.239
wherever you happen to be going and your case will not get scratched because if

00:02:45.239 --> 00:02:51.000
you have a slick looking case like this odds are you want it to stay slick

00:02:49.239 --> 00:02:55.879
looking and not look stupid because it has a big old scratch all the way across

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

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:06.360
this is going to be a slightly more challenging unboxing for me but let's go

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:10.319
ahead and let's start walking through the features so we'll start at the front

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

00:03:13.239 --> 00:03:21.840
convenient and easy to remove by the look of things yes they

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:23.400
are we have one 3 and 1/2 in front Bay

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

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:33.360
have a lock for the front panel which is

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:40.319
currently locked as far as I can tell we have 1 2 3 4

00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:45.200
five buttons oh neat

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

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:56.640
these buttons probably do something okay also on the front we have four front USB

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:58.720
2 we have our front audio ports we have

00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:03.480
our hard drive indicator our reset switch and our power switch up at the

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

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

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:20.759
front USB ports and finally we have an eat Port which the cameraman is no

00:04:18.479 --> 00:04:27.240
longer interested in he is interested in what appears to be a strip of LED

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:29.440
lighting and my guess is that the reason

00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:33.960
there is no power LED included for this particular particular case is that that

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:39.320
lighting is done here and here at the front so I have found

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:08.680
bottom is actually a little flat so that allows you to get your fingers in there

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

00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:17.039
just going to press those buttons unlock them there you go this shows you how

00:05:14.520 --> 00:05:22.960
easily and how quickly you can actually take out all five of the hard drives in

00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:26.639
your system which is why it features a lock because that is how quickly

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:32.600
somebody at a landan could take out all of the hard drives in your system

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:37.319
all right moving around to the side we have a small window here at the top

00:05:34.840 --> 00:05:40.759
showing you the CPU and RAM area which is a great area to show you because

00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:46.759
that's likely where your liquid cooling is probably located okay we also have

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:49.520
some ventilation over here including a

00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:55.759
headphone hanger I guess that's something that you

00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:59.080
can attach to that spot oh neat okay and

00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:01.280
then here we have a cooling fan which is

00:05:59.080 --> 00:06:05.520
going to be blowing nice cool air and it is filtered actually there's your

00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:10.840
removable filter aha push it in unclick it push it

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

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:20.080
cool air over your graphics card there's a security systems lock so I'm using

00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:24.599
that same key same key very convenient to unlock the side panel which I'm not

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

00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:34.199
we have those grommets for liquid cooling if you're using an external

00:06:30.039 --> 00:06:36.960
radiator setup we've also got a rear

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

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

00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:51.240
see I really like to see high-end cases Having Eight because even with a 7even

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

00:06:54.280 --> 00:06:59.199
install a dual slot card in it moving

00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:03.280
along to the other side we see that thermal take has done an excellent job

00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:07.319
matching the white finish on the metal parts of the case to the white finish on

00:07:05.479 --> 00:07:10.080
the plastic parts of the case that is a very challenging thing actually come

00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:14.520
check it out right here so here's the Front plastic top plastic and the side

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:20.160
metal all in one shot so the Finish is very very similar between all of those

00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:21.879
parts of the case so give me a oh and

00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:27.080
cameraman wants to look at the level 10 GT logo down there which is very nice

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

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

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

00:07:36.919 --> 00:07:42.560
eject button on the bottom you can see it's labeled with a little eject thing

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

00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:49.800
10 GT so what was this switch for well

00:07:47.599 --> 00:07:55.039
that will actually redirect the side panel fan air flow either up to the top

00:07:52.639 --> 00:08:00.440
or down to the bottom depending where your cooling

00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:02.039
needs are so if you have your

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

00:08:03.919 --> 00:08:08.960
it there oh yeah also you have what I

00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:12.599
think is a very cool feature right here you have little contacts here little

00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:16.840
contact pads here so that's how this side fan is powered you actually don't

00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:20.080
have to worry about routing a cable from the side panel into your case because

00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:24.759
it's always very difficult to manage that cable because well the case has to

00:08:22.599 --> 00:08:27.440
be closed in order for you to Route it and once the case is closed very

00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:32.719
difficult to do that so I like this that's a good solution okay

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:36.360
moving right along we have our accessories which are in a box right

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

00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:45.959
on Accessory package first thing we find

00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:50.000
is some cable ties along with the mounting screws for all of our hard

00:08:47.560 --> 00:08:57.080
drives and all of our other drives next we find a four eight pin CPU

00:08:54.279 --> 00:09:01.040
power extension cable very handy if you have a shorter power supply go ahead and

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:07.480
include that haha there's the headphone hanger so this is actually kind of a

00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:09.000
neat feature I need one of these uh I

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

00:09:12.160 --> 00:09:17.200
no big deal oh yeah I have matching headphones check this

00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:23.760
out I have cameraman Siberia

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:28.480
headphones yeah yeah does that match or what you buy

00:09:26.839 --> 00:09:32.800
steel series headphones throw them on there then you're the wi are okay so

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

00:09:35.640 --> 00:09:42.839
manual thing okay that's it still fairly complete accessory

00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:48.800
package so we've got uh protective covers on the front what front oh that's

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

00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:56.760
front switches including your power

00:09:55.120 --> 00:10:02.680
switch hopefully somewhere here power switch there you go and uh you also got

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

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

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

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

00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:21.920
be able to mount your uh liquid cooling

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

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

00:10:28.959 --> 00:10:35.880
fully liquid cooling ready case very good thinking thermal take all right

00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:39.720
we've got grommet holes for our 8 Pin CPU connector gromet holes for anything

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

00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.240
holes for our PCI Express and finally

00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:51.720
grommet holes for our front panel connector so I'd take these put them

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

00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:59.680
motherboard next we have our power supply mounting which includes a

00:10:57.680 --> 00:11:03.720
removable uh filter so that means you can

00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:08.240
comfortably Mount your power supply with the fan facing down and it will be held

00:11:06.040 --> 00:11:13.639
far enough off the ground in order to draw air in appropriately and it will be

00:11:10.760 --> 00:11:16.480
filtered finally we have power for the that's I'm assuming the front something

00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:21.160
or other front I don't know something power

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

00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:28.720
cameraman and I will show

00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:30.240
you that is not for this actually that's

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

00:11:32.079 --> 00:11:36.760
it follow it follow it oh that's

00:11:35.160 --> 00:11:42.959
probably for the fan controller okay there we go mystery

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

00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:52.760
what is one of the best features of this case the hot

00:11:48.680 --> 00:11:54.720
swap interface so that has five SATA

00:11:52.760 --> 00:11:59.680
power connectors there you've got five SATA data connectors here so this is one

00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:04.639
of the smartest hot swap interfaces I have yet seen it is something that can

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

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

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

00:12:14.880 --> 00:12:21.279
passrs so you don't run into any problems where you have say for example

00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:26.760
a compatibility conflict between SATA 2 and SATA 3 because it's just a straight

00:12:23.959 --> 00:12:31.320
pass through Copper to Copper no complications involved next you relies

00:12:29.560 --> 00:12:35.639
on your own cables so you can actually route the cables however you want you

00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:40.440
can plug in the power however you want it is fully modular that way and last

00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:44.199
but not least it is incredibly cheap to implement like this so you're not going

00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:48.360
to have to pay a ton extra for engineering that you don't

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

00:12:50.560 --> 00:12:57.279
the mounting devices are here so these are toolless you go ahead unlock lock

00:12:54.839 --> 00:13:02.360
unlock lock pretty standard Fair these days but there you go last but not Le Le
