The CH160 from Deepcool is an affordable Mini ITX chassis which removes the complications often associated with small form factor PC builds, and instead takes things back to basics without many compromises.

ITX builds by definition should be small and portable, an ideal size for those building eSports PC's and value their ease of service and lightweight movability. The CH160 is without a doubt one of the most simplistic, yet efficient cases in this regard. The perforated mesh panels allow for high airflow with minimal fans, this in turn leads to great cooling with low noise.

The lack of radiator support could be a turn off for some, but with the cases ability to house most, if not all full size air coolers, there's truly no reason to skip this one. Graphics card length limitations could be troublesome, but again if we're being mindful of the target audience for a case like this, it's unlikely you would be building with an RTX 4090 inside.

The combination of large air cooler support, solid construction and portability makes the Deepcool CH160 one of my favourite ITX cases so far in 2024. Furthermore, the Assassin 4S cooler is able to move lots of air quietly and the design language is perfectly suited for this setup.

What's your thoughts on the CH160? Could you see yourself building a small form factor affordable setup with this? Let's chat in the comments! The CH160 will be available from MAY 2024 onwards.
