DeepCool CH160 Plus

Pros

• Supports standard mATX motherboards and ATX power supplies, avoiding the 'ITX tax'.
• Compact enough for travel and easy to move around.
• Accommodates 240mm AIO liquid coolers and GPUs up to 340mm.
• Clean aesthetic and high build quality for its price point.
• Considered one of the most affordable and best-value MFF (Medium Form Factor) cases in certain markets like India.

Cons

• Cable management is described as a 'pain' and highly challenging due to limited space.
• Tight clearances can make it difficult to close the front and back panels once components are installed.
• Potential quality control issues with the front air filter mesh being loose and rubbing against fans.
• Removing the front filter to fix rubbing can result in unpleasant intake noise through the grill.

Caveats

• Large GPUs (e.g., 270mm+) may sit extremely close to the PSU, potentially blocking airflow or requiring precise positioning.
• While it supports ATX PSUs, using one significantly restricts space for cable routing compared to SFX units.
• Does not support 360mm AIO coolers.

Best for

• Builders looking for a compact MFFPC (Medium Form Factor PC) on a budget.
• Users who want a portable PC but prefer using standard mATX and ATX parts.
• Small-desk setups where a full tower is too large.

Avoid if

• You are a first-time builder who lacks patience for difficult cable management.
• You require a 360mm AIO for high-end CPU cooling.
• You want a case with high-airflow mesh options for all panels.
