First Look At Wild New "Level 10" Concept PC Case 287
notthatwillsmith writes "Maximum PC just posted an exclusive hands on with Thermaltake's unique Level 10 case. This concept design features individual compartments for different components (each with dedicated cooling) all mounted on a black steel frame. The case looks like a prop from 2001, rendered in black steel instead of white plastic. It's absolutely unlike anything I've ever seen before."

but for me, and my company, ludicrous to even consider. Laptops and Desktops and Servers are all throw-away* commodities these days. I have no use for this. But wow, it's pretty.
*recycle, Manbearpig thanks you.

I would prefer something with more class, more style, more customization and a price tag that doesn't make one vomit blood.
This is going to be my next case. Wood and brass (fake brass, but close enough). Great thing about a wood case is that it is easily modifiable with simple household tools.

First, who moves their desktop computer? The reason we have laptops is so that we can move them around. Desktops are meant to sit next to, or under, or behind the desk, in a closet, on a shelf (a strong shelf in this case).
I have no problem with a 50-lb desktop case if it's quiet and keeps the computer's bits cool.
I hate having my computer crash because of heat when I'm right in the middle of a stunt run in Burnout Paradise.

If I wanted simple access to things, I'd by a server rack case with hot swap bays and a convenient door on the top of the case then mount it under my desk like a drawer. Come to think of it. That's what I want... Where are the computer desks with built in rails?

No thanks. I'll take my Big Black Box of Death [frozencpu.com] over this modular monstrosity any day of the week (and for half the price).
