ThermalTake

There it is again, the Level 10 chassis. The first Level 10 model came in an all-black, aluminum chassis with no power supply and not only was its design unique and enthralling on the outside, but it also assisted in keeping things cool on the inside.

This time in spray-paint as well. This model currently on display in Hanover is mostly similar to the original, with the exception being the new theme, that of intense flames. This is a rather unique case where fire makes a product cooler than it was before. The case maintains the same, massive, ATX Super Full Tower form factor and, as such, can accommodate both micro-ATX and ATX motherboards.

The product boasts support for up to three 5.25-inch drives and six internal 3.5-inch storage units, whether hard disk drives or solid state drives. In addition, the Level 10 has eight expansion slots and a number of fans, namely a 120mm, red, LED fan and a 140mm, equally red spinner, as well as two 60mm Silent Fans. Combined with the chassis' shape and internal design, these fans enable an efficient cooling solution. As for I/O options, Thermaltake's casing boasts USB, audio and eSATA connectors on the front.

ThermalTake is releasing two gaming keyboards, the Challenger series. A rugged looking plank with up to 18 macro keys, an anti-ghost key function, 32KB of onboard memory, integrated USB ports, gold-plated USB connector, and a handful of red caps in case you want to highlight the WASD and arrow keys. It's also the first keyboard to come with a cooling fan, which plugs into either side of the plank.
