I'm Getting Another 'New' PC Case .....

I'm Getting Another 'New' PC Case .....

Some people might recall 'back in the day' ...about 10 years ago .... Thermaltake joined forces with BMW Design and came out with the "Thermaltake Level 10" Limited Edition case.

It weighed a ton and was a silly price considering it didn't even come with a PSU ... $1299  AUD.

I ended up with No.221 of the world-wide 500.

Today, I saw on Ebay another for sale second hand [obviously] for $800 AUD - just "up the road" in South Australia .... No.21.

....and it comes with a MoBo and CPU.

Anyone who has had one knows how well they work being made from aluminium plate [not sheet] so are their own heat-sink and the sectioned compartments prevent heat transference as well.

A side effect of their huge weight and size..... no-one's likely to ever pinch it ....;)

My first one....No.221 ....

Tiny suggestion...if you have one of those cylindrical pool floats (or the like) lying about, cutting an appropriate length and putting a slit in it can save your hand when you have to pick it up and move it.

A forklift... the empty case weighs 50lb...and now it ain't empty...;)

Number 021 is about 90% second hand.  The only new bits are the PSU ... A 750watt MSI,  the M.2 drive, 7 SATA cables and a PCIe-to-Sata card.... oh, and the CPU fan [Antec].

Everything else is second hand ...;)
