Thermaltake has announced the immediate availability of the Level 10 GT full-tower case, which was introduced during 2011 the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) held in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Level 10 GT is the successor of the original Level 10, which was designed in collaboration between Thermaltake and BMW Group DesignworksUSA.
Contrary to the original Level 10, the new Level 10 GT is built in SECC steel instead of extruded aluminum, what can explain why this new model is much cheaper than the original model. While the original Level 10 is priced at USD 800, the new Level 10 GT comes to the market with a suggested price of USD 280.
In the table below we’ve compared these two cases.
