Thermaltake Level 10 GT Case

How does this stack up to the Antec 1200 in terms of cooling?

Iv currently have an Antec 1200 v2 (not sure what the v3 gives apart from USB3 support) and I was looking at sticking a couple of xigmatek fans in as well as some ant-vibration gaskets.

I have sold all the kit inside my existing case and I am about to buy a complete new build, spec as follows:

i7 3930k 2011
Asus p9x79 Deluxe
16GB 1600mhz Quad
M4 256GB
2xCavier Black 1GB
Corsair H100 for cooling
Corsair AX1200

I already have a 6990 and 6970 I will be tri-firing. Im also looking at getting the Arctic Cooling 6990 acelero twin (only avail in US..doh..) and adding two xigmatek fans (which really work)! and the normal acelero twin to stick on the 6970 also with xiggys.

Anyway, I digress... my main question to you guys is, as Im buying this and all I have left from old build is my Antec 1200 v2, I might just get a new case as I know someone who will have my v2, why not. So with the above spec, should I go for the OCuK Antec 1200 v3 Frosty (includes xigmatek fans) or the Level 10 GT (also with some xigmatek fans added by myself..ohhh..)?

(I know it should but lets take price out of as a factor here - just this once).

I would love to see a pic of a 1200 next to the Level 10 GT.

Anyway.. hopefully you can give me some cases for thought!..

Thanks!

Xigmatek Elysium is i very nice case i love mine lots of room and very good cooling on air and water.
i ran 580 sli with i5 on air with very good temps and then moved to water best case i have had for both.
 
Just been looking at it, looks superb, however it seems a little bigger than what I was after, so I will keep my options to within the Level10GT or 1200v3 I think. Still not sure which though..?
 
i saw a lvl10gt at a lan event it is much wider than the Xigmatek Elysium but lenght and high its no were near.

i also dident like the light on the fans of the lvl10gt bit gimicky but ofc its all down to taste with that.

but i will say that the Xigmatek Elysium dosent fit ssd's well even with an adapter havent figured out a way to solve that problem yet but other than that cant stress how good the case is
 
Go for the Level10 and if you dont like the lights on the fans you can turn them off. Cooling is brilliant even with just the stock fans.
 
Cheers for the replies chaps.

So just to go over old ground. Would yo actually say the Level10 is better at cooling than the Antec 1200 or on Par (assuming air + H100)?
