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

CASE BUYER’S GUIDE
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
