Daddy needs a new case (or Somebody please stop me... ;) )
 

Ok, here's the deal..... daddy needs a new case. My current main rig case (Cosmos S) is over 4 yrs old, and the non-physical magic touch power switch is starting to act funky again....

Currently looking at the TT Lvl 10 GT (NCIX.com - Buy Thermaltake Level 10 GT Black E-ATX Modular Tower Case 4X5.25 1X3.5 5X3.5INT No PS Front USB3.0 - Thermaltake - VN10001W2N - in Canada ), and need somebody to explain why I shouldn't pick one up.....

Requirements are:

• Unique
• WC compatible out of the box
• Full size
• $250 - $300
• Decent cooling
• Decent Cable Management

Nice to have: (not even sure if the Lvl 10 GT has these yet... ;) )

• • USB 3.0 front panel connection(s)
  • Esata front panel connections
  • Easy access fan filters
  • Side fan for extra GPU cooling
  • Side Window
  • Choice for Upper or Lower PSU mount
  • Aluminum construction

Anywise... as it stands, I'm mostly sold on the TT, but am more than willing to entertain suggestions that I may not have considered, or conversely, revisit my choice if somebody has a good reason why I shouldn't pick it.

It sounds like the perfect case for you

I hear a rumor that the Cosmos II might be announced soon....
so i might want to hold off, if you can, until after xmas to get a new case....

Hrmmmm.... maybe a return to my lian-li roots with a bit of bling thrown in? (or does the word bling not belong in the same sentence as Lian-Li?)

Was wondering if you like this case here sswilson

Nothing really wrong with it, but it reminds me too much of the standard haf / corsair boxes we've seen so many of. If I'm going to go with a standard box I'll probably try to find a lian li to fit the bill.

That case actually looks quite good in person, problem is it's a nightmare to do any sort of WC in. (clearance issues all over the place)

The TT Level 10 is huge. The Memory Express here in Richmond has it on display. It's nicer in person than in the pictures, imho.

Yeah, but is it a straight level 10 or is it the slightly smaller cousin the level 10 GT?

As much as I'd love to, I can't justify forking out damn near 7 bills for the real thing.... ;)

After looking at pictures I can't be positive. They look too similar for me to be able to say for sure.
