Level 10 - BMW-Designed PC Case for Gamers

share:      
text size: A- A+
What do automakers and computer hardware manufacturers have in common? A lot of things actually, especially if taking into account the powerful computer resources needed to develop/design next-gen technologies. Although it is some kind of weird decision to get involved into PC hardware manufacturing while the whole sector suffers under the strong pressure of the recession, BMW DesignedworksUSA, an independently operated studio owned by the BMW Group, joined forces with Thermaltake to design the so-called "Level 10" PC case, as x5world.com wrote.

Currently on display at the CEBIT in Hanover, the PC case looks rather futuristic and completely different from the traditional boxy cases we've seen in the past.

And even if it's looking extremely appealing, the case may prove to be quite a pain in the butt for several reasons (just think at cleaning the dust between the hardware parts). As you can see for yourself in the adjacent photos, the case has separate compartments for every single hardware computer, including power source, motherboard, video or network cards.

The case is especially aimed at gamers, right? This means it's intended for high-performance computers that would allow users to run the latest titles without any glitch. Although we can't tell for sure if this PC case actually provides it, high-performance requires perfect cooling for every single piece of hardware. Moreover, we can't tell for sure if the connectivity cables to and from the power source and motherboard are actually inside the case (they would look awful outside let's admit it).

As you can see, there are only a few details at this point but we'll provide you more information and photos as our friends at Softpedia are right there at CEBIT.

This is a beautiful case and functional too. I really like the carry handle built into the frame. Keeping cooling seperate also a plus for all that hardware would create alot of heat. Would like to know the specs on the hardware and how well it performs.

Where do the wires go?

Looks good but how about cooling all the internals. Is there enough air flow for memory, video cards,etc?

That is quite the beauty. I think the wires go into the opening flat side panel, allowing for wire routing. I think the built in frame handle has to be a genius idea but I can only think of one problem... how do you efficiently cool?
