Thermaltake Reputation for Quality around the World Reviewed by VR-Zone Thermaltake Level 10 GT review Thermaltake took care designing and manufacturing the Level 10 GT, the quality of which is well above average. The chassis is well made, with no imperfections and/or weak spots. All plastic parts are well made and thick, they should last for several years ..
Reviewed by Anandtech Thermaltake Level 10 GT: Monument to Excess If you're looking strictly at performance, it's fair to say the Thermaltake Level 10 GT comes out a winner. Thermaltake's design marries strong heat management with some of the quietest acoustics we've tested, and that's something most of us can get behind. It proves that the enthusiast can have a case that performs well and does so without drawing attention to itself--or at least, drawing attention to itself by way of noise. ..

Reviewed by TECHGAGE Thermaltake Level 10 GT Full-Tower Chassis Review Thermaltake has gotten the formula right on this one and it would be wrong not to give the Level 10 GT an Editor's Choice award. This is great news to me considering I personally have not been a big fan of Thermaltake cases, but this is by far the most expensive one I have tinkered with so I would be worried if my past problems were to show up again.
Reviewed by OCIA Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 Full Tower Case Chaser MK-1 would be at the top of my list for a full-tower built if you are looking for something that isn't conservative in design. OCIA.net is happy to award the Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 our Gold Seal of Approval.
Reviewed by OverclockersClub ThermalTake Chaser MK-I Review It's great to see that ThermalTake designed the case so that it not only has a black coat of paint on the outside, but also features black paint on the inside. All things aside, this case definitely has it with watercooling capability.
Reviewed by Thinkcomputers Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 Full Tower Case Review After using the case for well over a week I have yet to find any issues.

LUXA2 Awards & Reputation for Quality
H4 Multi-media Holder – COMPUTEX Taipei design & innovation awards 2011
iLounge: “Given Luxa2's past track record in developing completely adjustable iPad mounts, it's no surprise to see the company ready so quickly with an in-car version touted as "for new iPad," the H7 Dura-Mount ($TBD). Armed with a huge suction cup at one end, H7 has a flexible mounting bar in the center, and a completely repositionable iPad/iPad 2 holder that can slide off to the other end or sit somewhere else on the bar as you desire…the mount can expand and contract to handle the original iPad, iPad 2, and other devices inside or outside of cases, just like Luxa2's earlier desk-mounting solutions…the flexibility of the mounting bracket and arm are both quite impressive. It ships with a huge velvet carrying bag…” iLounge: “…If we had to choose just one of these stands to recommend to all of our readers, it would be the H4 iPad Holder, due more to its overall combination of versatility, polish, and pricing…H4 is the sequel to H1-Touch, a physically smaller but functionally identical version sold for iPod touch- and iPhone-sized devices, and has the same advantages: an iPad-matching aluminum base with a cable managing slot, and a rotating, pivoting cradle with expanding rubber-tipped metal arms that can hold a bare or encased iPad as firmly as you prefer….it feels solid and sturdy even without an iPad resting in its cradle; but unlike Griffin’s A-Frame, all of its edges are polished to prevent iPad or finger damage…” Overclockers Club: “LUXA2 is a division of Thermaltake that was created in 2009 and manufactures products that are made with simplicity, luxury and a uniqueness for your lifestyle…we are going to be taking a look at one of Luxa2's new products designed to make your mobile life a lot simpler and more luxurious. The H1-Touch is a mobile holder for the iPhone and the iPod Touch, though it can also be useful for any smartphones or large devices if you want to keep them safe and in easy reach while maintaining a sense of luxury in your space…” TechPowerUp: “LUXA2 is here to revive these glorious days with their LM300 Touch Pro and make the living room a place for enjoyment again, a place to be entertained and show off entertainment style…”

Local store co-op advertisement Tt eSports Black 4000DPI laser gaming mouse competently provides essential ‘nuts and bolts’ gaming mouse features in terms of tracking and precision deserve a high rating because as gaming products I am very confident they will satisfy the target audience. These are fully kitted out products and a great leap for Thermaltake into a very exciting marketplace. Compact, simple, to the point and robust. Those are adjectives that come swiftly to mind when we analyze the Meka G1 keyboard from Thermaltake The Shock-One's surprised me at first. I've always been wary of overly colorful PC peripherals as well as a bit put-off by headsets or other accessories that have lights on them.

Design concept The concept is inspired by the attention of gamers to expensive, top performance professional gaming mouse and their exquisite taste and appreciation for “Level 10” aesthetics. By transferring the previous design success of the Level 10 chassis onto gaming peripheral, Level 10 M Gaming Mouse is the first Level 10 gaming peripheral product aiming to extend the “Level 10” experience to directly interact with the users. Its emotional design strongly enhances the overall gaming excitement, and that design serves as the agent between gamer and the game, functions as the experience itself. (1) 3D Steering Axis Movement: Level10 M Gaming Mouse is divided into top and lower part with the former seeming to float steadily over the base. This part which is also the essential steering element of the mouse can be adjusted in regards to height and angle. The 3D dimensional character of the mouse provides for new and highly sufficient axis movements in various directions and makes the mouse fit as many gamers’ preferences as possible. (2) Air-Through Ventilation System: The hollow structure lets the view, the air as well as the surrounding travel through the product almost creating the feeling of a 4th dimension. With ergonomic solutions increasing the usage comfort as well as the functionality, these aspects are strengthened by Thermaltake’s competitive knowledge regarding ventilation solutions. (3) Aluminum base: Aluminum is one of the toughest chemical material to resist corrosion, and Level 10 M Mouse base made of aluminum is designed to ensure user’s “Level 10” experience is always durable and resilient to mouse-gliding movement.
