A unique and adventurous design, but some construction flaws and the stratospheric price make it one to admire from afar

hmm, its a box, into which bits go.

I see what is going on here......
Having produced something pointless in the X6, BMW decided to help an entirely separate company to produce something equally overblown and unnecessary.
Wonder if it'll only be owned by c**ks also?!

Surely this is exactly the opposite of what the vast majority of users want or need.

Perhaps PCPRO will have a little chat with Thermaltake, Mesh, and all.

Wow. I mean, wow. The price is preposterous but... well, yes, wow.

Hmm I think it's great!
If I was building my system now I would seriously have a look at this. Not sure how you could fit water pumps etc in it though.
It's less of a box to put your PC in and more piece of well crafted furniture to put in my toy room!

Due to disappear without trace
So it's a mis-shaped box, which performs several of the requirements of a computer case quite badly.
I suspect it is really intended as an entry for the Turner Prize, or the embodiment of Warhol's statement: "[modern] Art is what you can get away with"...

Oh dear
UGLY, VERY UGLY. Pointlessly ugly.
Pointless.

What on Earth ?
Looks like a kids toy from Star wars, and I don't want any more dusting to do.

Computer in a black Blister 2/5=No!
Price - 0/5
Design - 4/5
Features - 3/5
Functionality -1/5
The colour choice makes any smart design features irrelevant.
It is bad enough working on Dark Red and Blue boards, without trying it in a Black case!

Overpriced, overrated and overblown
Exactly what BMW specialise in!
By mspritch on 21 Jan 2010 ![]()
Don't think so!!!
I like the fact that they have come out of the box for the design but not at that price. If they had included a 1Kw PSU in the price then it would make it more realistic and got over some of the more specialised issues with this layout
Congratulations but try again!

Not for me thanks...
..but well done for attempting something different. Has a hint of slimline PS2 about it.
But the ugliest thing about it is the price.

Ye Gods peeps
nicely said mspritch
What planet are these people living on
they expect you so spent the best part of £700 for a case and a decent power supply you have to bend some of the bits out of the way so you can get other bits out, water cooling will be difficult at best, PSU cables May not reach componants and you are not going to have a lot of cash left to buy the IMPORTANT bits,
you would be seriously better of with the Shinobi case. Plenty of room in that one still won't take an E-atx mobo.
My own preference is the
Coolermaster ATC's 840 STILL NOT CHEAP but at only a quarter of the price (inc psu bought seperatly) much better value, water cooling if needed and a special duct on the back to fit a 120mm fan to extract air through the G/card if you want to, hard drives fit side-on so plenty of room for the G/card, i have an Nvidia GTX 580 in mine so there is a further 13cm between the end of the G/card and hard drive column also a special hole in the m/b base plate)which is also removable)for mobo mounted coolers
The Level 10 case isn't clever isn't smart looking, isn't practical finacially,and doesn't look stable standing either and at 26" high and almost half that wide where are you going to put the bloody thing.
I don't really know much about art,,,but in my opinion it isn't art it looks as though it should be part of a Jig-saw
