Deepcool CH160 PLUS black (R-CH160-BKNGM0-G)

The expanded version of the popular compact case CH160 from Deepcool maintains its petite dimensions, yet features a number of substantial improvements. The main distinction from its predecessor is the shift from mini-ITX to support for micro-ATX boards and the addition of a fourth expansion slot, which significantly broadens the choice of components for assembly. Another important innovation is the ability to install a 240mm liquid cooling radiator on top, which the original model did not have.

The Desktop format with a top-mounted power supply unit and an integrated carrying handle on the top panel emphasizes the case’s portable nature — making it convenient to move between rooms. The Deepcool CH160 PLUS case accommodates both standard ATX power supplies up to 140mm in length and compact SFX ones; choosing the latter frees up the front position for a 140mm fan. Graphics cards up to 342mm in length fit, although with a front fan installed, the clearance is reduced to 328mm.

Mesh panels on several sides provide thorough ventilation, while dust filters at the front, top, and bottom protect against contamination. Fans are not included — four mounting points need to be filled independently. Side panel connectors include USB-C 3.2 gen2 and two USB 3.0. Substantial improvements broaden the choice of components, offering both micro-ATX support and a fourth expansion slot. Additionally, its portable nature, emphasized by an integrated carrying handle, along with the ability to install a 240mm liquid cooling radiator, set it apart. The case accommodates long graphics cards and offers thorough ventilation with protective dust filters, ensuring a clean build.
