Thermaltake Level 20 HT Full Tower Review

Interior

The front panel lifts out of the way easily enough, leaving a nice amount of access.

However, if you unlock the windows on the sides, they open out on their hinges, then simply lift out of the way, giving you access on three sides!

There’s an impressive amount of mounting hardware in here. It’s all removable, movable and modular. Even if you just wanted to strip the thing down to paint it, it’s only a few thumbscrews and you’ll have it all off to the paint booth in no time at all.

There are two of these water cooling mounts, which are perfect for pumps and reservoirs.

Plus a cheeky SSD mount front and centre.

There’s some passive ventilation in the base too, to take advantage of any lower down cool air. There are simple clip-in dust filters too, ensuring the airflow stays nice and clean.

Big airflow clearly isn’t an issue, but cable routing hasn’t exactly been left unattended either. There are huge grommets everywhere, and countless little cuts and channels around the edges of panels for everything else.

The motherboard tray will handle anything from mini-ITX to E-ATX. Of course, mini-ITX would look ridiculous, but I can tell you, even ATX is going to look small in here. I do like that the standoffs are pre-installed though and that massive CPU cooler mounted cut-out will help a lot too.

All of the expansion slots come fitted with reusable metal covers. With this being E-ATX and not just ATX, you get eight expansion slots rather than seven; perfect for multi-GPU configurations with thicker cards!

Hiding directly behind the motherboard, you have what has to be the most cable routing space ever fitted to a case. Plus fan mounts behind that should you need them; although it’ll provide passive airflow for your PSU also.

On the other side, there’s a massive vertical radiator mount right behind the motherboard. Not much use in an air-cooled build, but for custom loop, it’s golden.
