If you are bored of the usual run-of-the-mill PC cases, take a look at what BMW's DesignworksUSA has to offer. They have made everything from yachts to coffee machines, so it is clear that these people know exactly what they are doing. Level 10 PC case reminds me of a stylish sci-fi movie. This flashy piece of furniture is sure to make your PC look cooler than it really is. Dubbed as 'Level 10', we can safely assumed that it's targeted towards gamers. This BMW designed case is not very traditional as the computer's individual components are mounted in separate compartments and then attached to a central base. If you like your things simple, Level 10 isn't your thing, as it is surely built to attract stares.

Interesting how everything is in a separate compartment, I wonder what the temps will be like... I bet it will be ridiculously expensive though.

It looks pretty awesome. You're right though, it doesn't look very practical.

NO.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

They're fucking ugly. Remember that you see all cables.

Style over Substance = Fail.

Good industrial design ties together the component pieces, while enhancing the function of the overall device, in an aesthetically appealing manner.

Let me put it another way;
Would you rather date a girl that spends 2 hours a day running, doing yoga/pilates, and working out
or a girl that spends 2 hours a day doing her makeup, fake tanning, and shopping for the latest trendy clothes.

This .. might be worthy of an EE poll

Would you rather date;
1) a girl that spends 2 hours a day running, doing yoga/pilates, and working out
or
2) a girl that spends 2 hours a day doing her makeup, tanning, and shopping for the latest clothes.
or
3) Forget all that, just tell me which one has the huge boobs

Same people that make cars, eh? Saw one driving down the same road with tons of smoke issuing from the tailpipe. Not sure if I can trust their computers not to make like a steam boat.

I would say its the other way around. It can be used like a normal PC case but its not beautiful.

You guys are all dismissing it straight away. with each component seperate, couldn't you more accurately provide air cooling by putting fans etc right in with the component. and some components wont need fans etc because they won't be getting the usual hot air from all the other components.

it could work. it could be cool. but it could fail epicly

That's actually really nice.

I wouldn't throw it out if someone gave me it, but again I wouldn't pay £500 for one.

From the looks of it... It looks like airflow could be a pain. I only see one vent. I suppose there is another one at the back and that's it.... Unless they have some internal way to cool stuff.

Antec cases > all cases

Nah, its very beautiful and sleek. That case goes well for a hardcore crysis fan. The thing I like most is the handle on top making it much easier to carry if your moving or relocating ur machine, but since it stays on the desk most of the time... its useless, useless and useful at the same time. How awsm can that be.

When you look at the size of those compartments... you'll realize you won't be putting big coolers etc' in there...

and that is = FAIL

Edit: Also... imagine how fun its to do cable management for that...
