I really don't know why they don't design cases in reverse. Start with your hardware and design a case to fit and cool it. Don't try and make one case to accommodate every conceivable configuration. That's why you have a range of cases. I'd like to see a case designed around an ATX motherboard, higher end CPU (Ryzen 3600, i7 up) with room for a 280mm cooler, single higher end GPU (2060, 5600XT up), with s couple of 2.5 SSDs. That must cover a large number of enthusiast systems. Use Demciflex filters and Noctua fans. Might cost s little bit more but you wouldn't have to ghetto mod it, just plug and play.

1:01 ...or remove the mesh yourself because the mesh is superfluous whereas the dust filter actually does something important to a lot of people and filters out dust. I feel like Steve is out of touch with the majority of viewers who have computers set up in living spaces. And no a 'fine' mesh is not a dust filter. If you can see the holes then dust is getting through. GamersNexus should be using it's position to encourage case manufacturers to use nylon dust filters to cover their fans and nothing else. Instead they're getting the wrong message that we don't want dust filters at all.

I tried to check, perhaps Thermaltake has some different modifications of this case, maybe without rgb or perhaps without fans. Scrolling through various shapes of boxes all labeled LEVEL 20 but with much varying usability, sizes, motherboard fitments, and especially prices, never again, thermaltake, never again. You can't possibly think that they're not intentionally cluttering their own product line with VERY not obvious naming schemes like this, three times worse than what Cooler Master does, 5 times worse than intel, and 8 times Nvidia.

I was looking at old case reviews from about 4 years ago and this was in the playlist and only realised 1/2 way through was only just dropped.....Dated as design TT! I totally would put a 360mm Rad on the side just to trigger people - I would leave the glass off on that side which I do with most of my computers to access wires and by a wall for me anyway

This VS the Level 10 Series..... Damn, how the great fall. This looks ugly, uninspired and rather bland, I'd be ashamed to have this celebrate 20 years of my brand.... They did so well with the Level 10 Series of cases (Maybe minus the Level 10 GTS. The Original Level 10 and the Level 10 GT cases were/are amazing)

I hate those plastic filters TT keep using for years :/ They're too restrictive, I've made a custom replacement filters using some 100mkm nylon mesh and magnetic tape for my old core V51 when I used it, and it had even better thermals also filtering almost all the dust coming through

how difficult is it to make a modern 90 degree layout with 2x 200mm fans? It would be like the FT02, because you won't even need a 'Mesh', as the fans are at the bottom shooting up. Switch to SFX PSU, and only have m.2 drives and you have a low volume pc.

Why doesn't Silverstone make '+' versions of their old cases? Given their performance an update with newer USB connectors and a different pressed plastic front, coupled with quieter fans, they would be theoretically unbeatable in performance...

you could have a look at the Thermaltake core X71 case. Quite old now, but I think it's still an interesting package. So many radiator mounting possibilities, front mesh, 2x200mm front intake fans possible(3 if you mod the front panel)
