Deepcool Macube 110 chassis review - Final Words & Conclusion

Final Words & Conclusion

It’s time for the conclusion. The Deepcool Macube 110 is quite an interesting chassis. It’s a classic and classy looking one. You won’t find any RGB here, but you can still showcase the internals of your PC thanks to the tempered glass panel. The internal layout is typical, with the PSU installed at the bottom of the case. The installation process is rather straightforward, and you shouldn’t have any major issues here, but there was quite a little space for the PSU cables at the back of the motherboard tray. The build quality is good, just like in the Macube 310. Two color variants are available: black and white (reviewed here), so you can match the color to your preference and gear. The left magnetic side panel works fine. A GPU holder is a nice addition here too.

   

   

Features

You get only a single fan here, and it’s a 3-pin one. No RGB lighting is available. You can’t install the GPU vertically, either (but at this price this is not a drawback). Liquid cooling capacity is great for this size as you can install a 280 mm rad on the front and the top of the case, and a 120 mm one at the back. There’s enough space for 320 mm long GPUs, 165 mm tall CPU coolers, and 160 mm long PSUs. This is enough for typical builds. The I/O panel has a standard set of two USB 3.0 ports, audio jacks, and power + reset buttons. As for the things that are different here, there’s the magnetic left side panel, and a GPU holder (a nice idea in a time of heavy graphics cards). No fan hub available now, that’s a pity.


Aesthetics

Looks are always a subjective matter. The design of the new MACUBE 110 is very classic (and it’s really similar to the Macube 310P). There is only one tempered glass panel, but that’s ok, and you can still show off your gear if you want to. The white color looks very original, but if you want something classic there’s a black version as well.   

 The Verdict

The Deepcool Macube 110 is above the average size for an mATX chassis. You get a classic look here, with a single tempered glass panel (magnetic), and no RGB. The build quality is good. Only one 120 mm fan is provided (3-pin). It really should be a PWM version next time (the cost difference shouldn’t be an issue here). No fan hubs are provided, but there are fan filters of course. The maximum motherboard form factor that you can use is mATX, and you can install 280 + 280 + 120 mm water-cooling radiators, and a 165 mm air cooler. Moving on to storage, the case fits up to four drives (two 2.5” + two 2.5 or 3.5” bays). The installation process was rather average (the cable management system is ok), but the PSU space was a bit tight for what we use in our test system (a Corsair AX850), but manageable. You also need to put a bit of effort into cable management, otherwise, the right-side panel will tend to come off because of the pressure. As for the features that we liked again (just like in the Macube 310), the magnetic panel is a good thing. The GPU holder can come in handy in an era of long and hefty graphics cards (RTX 3080s are really huge if you manage to get one)!  The choice of the motherboards in the mATX factor is limited, and the chassis is very big for mATX (but still lacks cable management space). There’s still the same 3-pin fan and no thumbscrews for the expansion card (and it's a breakable one!) slots – so overall it’s tough to fully recommend it. Theoretically, the option to mount two 280 mm radiators at once is appealing, but like 99% of people who would buy it – I wouldn’t put in more than one. It’s not a custom LC first-choice chassis as either. It’s a nice offer, but merely a slightly modified version of the 310 in mATX size, the price is good though. Over and out.

This time, we’re checking out a (theoretically) high-cooling, performance-oriented mid-sized ATX tower PC chassis –a Deepcool CH510. It looks almost the same as the other Deepcools products; I mean the CG560 and Deepcool CK560, which were already reviewed on guru3d (in November 2021 and April 2022). The front panel looks slightly different (as it’s closed this time), but that’s not a significant change (still – not the best that could have been done). Let’s check if there are other things as well.
