CASE                                                                      BUYER’S GUIDE

              ENERMAX STEELWING

              $149.99
              www.enermaxusa.com
              Why You’ll Dig It: Why should big cases get all the tempered glass
              side panel love? The STEELWING in a small form factor case with a full
              window to let you show off the impressive, miniature parts of your mATX
              or Mini-ITX system. ENERMAX also knows that small form factor rigs
              need quality airflow, so they’ve designed the case with a semi-open
              design that optimizes incoming airflow. The STEELWING also features an
              aluminum material that, according to ENERMAX, provides three times
              the heat dissipation of a steel PC case. ENERMAX offers the STEELWING
              with a green or red aluminum exterior and includes a matching LED
              in the front panel. You can fit a single GPU up to 11.4-inches long, and
              liquid-cooling support is available via a front-panel HDD bracket that
              supports either a 3.5-inch HDD or a 120mm radiator.

              Who Should Apply: Power users who want to design an attractive,
              high-performance PC—in miniature.
              Dimensions: 11.81 x 6.93 x 15.2
              Motherboard Support: Mini-ITX, mATX

              Deepcool Genome II

              $229.99
              www.deepcool.com

              Why You’ll Dig It: The Genome was one of our favorite cases of
              2016, thanks to its integrated closed-loop CPU cooler, 360mm radiator,
              and double-helix shaped reservoir. The Genome II features a few notable
              improvements, including a riser card to vertically mount your GPU
              (the original featured a riser slot, but didn’t come with the riser card).
              Deepcool also added a removable HDD cage to the front panel, so you
              can now take the drive cage out if you want to install an additional
              radiator or fans to the front panel. The Genome’s second iteration also
              features an LED strip behind the double helix reservoir to illuminate
              coolant on the move. The Genome II is offered in three models. There’s
              one with red coolant and black exterior, one with green coolant and
              black exterior, and one with blue coolant and a white exterior.

              Who Should Apply: Power users who want the look and
              performance of a high-end cooling loop without having to preplan or
              install it inside the case.

              Dimensions: 19.9 x 8.3 x 20 inches
              Motherboard Support: Mini-ITX, mATX, ATX, EATX
              Drive Bays: 2 x 3.5-inch internal, 2 x 2.5-inch internal
