My website shop is still very much a work in progress but I've got six builds that I'm gonna offer as Preconfigured options. I'm not 100% sure if this will be the final pricing but its definitely very close.

Yes, three of these use the same DeepCool case. What can I say? I really like the CH370 and if I'm being honest, its probably the best mATX case on the market today. There's nothing that comes close in style, build quality or price.

No stream this time, had a lot happening this week that was pretty stressful so I wasn't feel up for it. The build though came out looking pretty great. The back is roomier than it seems at first glance and all the cables fit without bulging the back panel.

My only real complaint about the case is the fan situation. The included fan has a short cable and doesn't move much air. Its kind of embarrassing. If you're gonna make such a nice case, include some decent case fans. Two 140mm fans at the front would have been fine.

That said, its still a very well priced case at $65~70. A 5 pack of Arctic P12 PWM PST fans is $35 on amazon. For $100 total, its a pretty competitive option compared to Fractal's Pop Air Mini. Overall, good job DeepCool! :)

Also, The integrated headset holder is a pretty sick hidden feature! Both my roommate and I loved it!

Ordered a new DeepCool CH370 for a upcoming build. Gotta say, definitely impressed by the looks and airflow. Its a bit more expensive than a Phantek P300A but it looks more premium. My only gripe is the one fan being included rather than three. Can't wait to build in it!

There's about 1/2 an inch (12.7mm) in the back for cable management. The power suppy area is pretty spacious and the drive cage can easily be moved or removed. Overall, better than the Macube cases. That's my opinion. The extra venting solves the main problem Macube cases have.

Caught the O11 bug. Figuring out the loop layout for this was kind of annoying and used a lot of tubing for trial and error but in the end, it came out way better than it started out as. Eventually, I will be selling systems with custom loops but that's a little ways out.

Protip: Tubing specifically made for but you can buy PVC tubing from Home Depot to practice with. It is stiff and somewhat annoying to work with but its dirt cheap compared to the prices from EK or Alphacool. Perfect for practicing and planning a loop.

Customer came to me with an interesting challenge. Stop their R9 5950X from throttling while not hurting performance. Normally, not a hard ask since you can just slap a 360mm AIO on it and call it a day. The problem, the biggest AIO their case fits is a 280mm. Think I got it.

Almost ready to get listed on ebay. Adding that extra RGB strip up top really makes the whole build pop. Since its a 5V strip connected directly to the motherboard, it can be controlled and changed to whatever color with Armory Crate or Signal RGB.

I didn't think to take a before and after pic because it was really late last night but the blower 3090 was hitting 80C on the gpu and 110C on the hotspot. Now its down to 69~70C on the gpu and 80C on the hotspot. A decent improvement for the gpu temp but huge one for the hotspot
