Thermaltake "Level 10" PC Chassis

BMW Designworks USA’s Level 10 case for ThermalTake is a far cry from any other desktop PC chassis we’ve seen recently. Rather than a standard aluminum box, the Thermaltake Level 10 would incorporate a central pillar, with individual compartments hanging from it for the motherboard, PSU, optical drives, and hard drives. Moreover, it features six hard disk drive bays, while also offering an easy way to open the hard drive bay so as to change the disks.

Each compartment on the Level 10 has its own ventilation. The large panels on the lower left cover the motherboard mount, PCI-E cards, GPUs, and so forth. The six slots on the right are hot-swap SATA bays, connected to a large vertical heatsink. The bays have mounts for 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives.
