Value -
Value is another very subjective topic. What is expensive to some might be a deal to others. You can look at this topic in multiple ways. One is raw price and the other is what you get for the money. Each is accurate and both are correct ways to look at price/value. We tend to look at features, performance and real-property when we discuss value. However, we also take into account the raw cash cost of the item.
The Level to GT Snow Edition will take a $290 bite out of your budget, while the more traditional black flavor will set you back around $255. This is quite a lot to spend on a case for a computer even with some of the features of the Level 10 GT. That having been said, you are getting solid construction (although we still feel a little too much plastic was used), good cooling and a VERY roomy case. We imagine that you would even be able to fit in boards like the G-1 Sniper and possibly the X58A-UD9 if you played things right. This is saying a lot because there really are not that many PC cases that can handle these boards and have the air flow to keep things cool. The lockable side panel and drive bays is a very nice touch on top of everything else (internal USB 3.0, Fan Speed Control, etc.).. So while the $290 is a tad much, it is not that terribly far off the mark for what you are getting.

Conclusion -
The Level 10 GT is a solid case with some great features not the least of which is the amount of room inside it. I have worked with other cases this size and while they are usually very roomy they often lack a sense of style and are either a pain to run your cables around or they require extensions to reach everything. The Level 10 GT did not have those issues. The interior design and layout is very well done as is the way that air flows through the case. There are some gaudy parts to it and the look takes some getting used to, but in the end it is a fairly nice looking case with functionality built in. Of course it does have a price tag to match which will be an issue for many potential consumers. Still in the end we have to say that the Thermaltake Level 10 GT is a good gaming case, there is plenty of room for three-way SLI and Crossfire setups and while it might not be as stylish as its older brother the original Level 10 it is a much more cost effective option and one that is not out of most people reach.
