Or just use some matte black spray paint and a sound-deadeningish foam panel if you get stuck with THE HORRIBLE WINDOW!!!!

for those of you who do not wanna have a windowed case - you can get the windowless version or order a windowless side panel for 30 bucks + tax and shipping


Or just buy a case where a window isn't even an option, like the Coolermaster ATCS840

I know what you mean about the window.

The Corsair is a real nice case for sure and ideal for just about any type of configuration one can dream of.

I was also looking at the Thermaltake Level 10 case which comes at a higher price.

Suprising in two ways:
1 - They actually make it
2 - people are stupid enough to pay the money for it.

I personally would have called it "Level 11". Gnuegg limits to 5 per customer, ho ho!

Y'know I think I just might buy one, if only to get a new case. It'll *just* fit where I have my current case...windowless, of course. Y'all know when I got an inkling on kit, I do get it heh.

Is your only objection to the Level 10 the price?

Yes. I personally can't see why it would cost more than 500$, unless they make every unit by hand. I've read a few complaints about certain parts/functions from personal reviews on gnuegg. It's made out of industrial aluminum, just with a lot more bends.

For a grand it should be perfect in every conceivable way, and personally signed by the artist. That's the reason one would buy it, because it's art. More like Andy Warhol art though.

The people who can drop 1000$ on that would have tri-sli watercooling skulltrail gaming setups, and it's just not able to accomodate it properly, from what I've read.

I would personally prefer the Obsidian. More room and much less restriction, not to mention ALOT less $$.
