DeepCool has just announced the launch of its latest Micro-ATX PC cases, the CH260 and CH270 DIGITAL cases. These new additions are set to provide enthusiasts with a compelling blend of robust performance and efficient use of space, albeit it’s just a shame there are so few mATX boards hitting the market these days.
Building upon the success of their CH160 and CH170 DIGITAL ITX predecessors, DeepCool has carried forward its renowned high-airflow design into these larger, yet still compact, Micro-ATX form factors. The CH260 and CH270 DIGITAL promise increased compatibility and greater options for customisation, catering to a wider range of system builds.
These cases feature a sleek and contemporary aesthetic, the expanded internal layout comfortably accommodates full-length graphics cards up to 388mm (or an even more generous 413mm with the front fans removed). Furthermore, the inclusion of a removable mounting bracket ensures compatibility with standard ATX power supply units, meaning users won’t have to compromise on power delivery despite the smaller footprint.
A key focus for DeepCool with the CH260 and CH270 DIGITAL is clearly optimal thermal performance. Both cases feature wraparound mesh panels, facilitating excellent airflow to keep even high-end components running cool under demanding conditions. For those looking to push their systems further, the cases offer support for up to a 360mm radiator in the top, or a substantial 174mm air cooler.
Connectivity is well catered for with a front I/O panel that includes dual USB 3.0 ports, a modern USB Type-C Gen2 port, and a convenient audio/microphone combo jack. Maintaining a clean system is also made easier thanks to the inclusion of three removable dust filters.
The CH270 DIGITAL distinguishes itself with the addition of an integrated digital display bar located at the base of the case. This innovative feature allows users to monitor their system’s vital statistics in real-time, with the ability to switch between displaying CPU, GPU, and PSU information.
