DeepCool CH510, schwarz, Glasfenster

The Deepcool CH510 is an (E-) ATX-compatible mid-tower chassis (435×230×471 (L x W x H)) that is an evolution (?) of the Deepcool CG560/CK560. The chassis was supposed to focus on the airflow, and it’s not doing it right, as the front panel is closed, and you get only one (120 mm) fan (at the back). There’s an option to install a combo of 360+360+140 water cooling radiators (but these 360 at the top are rather doubtful). If you prefer air cooling – even the 175 mm products will fit. As for the power supply – theoretically, it’s 170 mm (so the most used PSUs would do, except the higher wattages, 850+), but after removing the 3.5” drive cage, there would be much more space. Speaking of the storage options - except for the two 3.5” HDDs, there’s a place for two SSDs under the backplate cutout at the back of the motherboard tray. The cable management is nice (but not significant), thanks to the width of the case. The build quality is good. There is no USB Type-C port (a significant omission). From the other not-so-positive things, the E-ATX board would still cover the cable routing grommets, so we would recommend not indicating it in the specs (same as in the CG560/CK560). Also – the 360 mm radiator compatibility at the top is questionable. The rear 120 mm fan should be a 4-pin PWM type, not 3-pin voltage controlled, but at least there’s no Molex cable hanging there. Still, there are no thumbscrews used for the expansion port securing. There’s a reset button this time, but it’s identical to the one used for powering up/down. The chassis costs 79.99 EUR (84.99 EUR for the white version), it’s somewhat reasonable, but I don’t see an immense sense in releasing another product when the CG560/CK560 are already in the market. Is it worth it buying? Well, it’s a decent choice, but nothing we would recommend. No USB Type-C, only one fan (and due to that – the performance figures are poor and the overall noise level of the system increased), still no thumbscrews for the expansion slots, and the closed front panel are the (main) things that made us make such a decision.
