Description

DeepCool CH160 Ultra-portable High Airflow mini-ITX Case (White) for Compact Builds

The DeepCool CH160 is designed for builders who want a small-form-factor PC without sacrificing airflow and day-to-day usability. With support for mini-ITX motherboards, a compact footprint, and a layout focused on cooling performance, this case is a strong choice for home office systems, living-room gaming rigs, and space-saving workstation setups. Its high airflow approach makes it especially suitable for users who run demanding workloads such as video editing, streaming, or long gaming sessions where stable thermals matter.

Compact Dimensions, Easy to Place Anywhere

Measuring 336 × 200 × 283.5 mm and weighing 3.3 kg, the CH160 is built to be genuinely portable compared to larger chassis. This makes it convenient for desk setups with limited space, for users who frequently rearrange their workspace, or for anyone transporting a PC for LAN events or occasional travel. The compact size also helps keep cable routing and internal organization more straightforward than many full-size towers, which can be a practical advantage during upgrades.

Cooling System Built for Better Airflow

Cooling is a core strength of the CH160. The case supports multiple fan configurations, including one 120mm front fan, two 120mm top fans, and one 120mm rear fan. This arrangement supports a balanced intake-to-exhaust airflow path, helping hot air move out efficiently. Compared to compact cases that rely on fewer fans, the CH160’s multi-fan layout is better suited for maintaining consistent temperatures during sustained performance, which can improve overall system stability and reduce thermal throttling risk.

CPU Cooler Clearance up to 172mm

The CH160 supports CPU coolers up to 172mm in height. This clearance gives you flexibility to choose an air cooler that matches your cooling goals—whether you prefer a straightforward, low-maintenance setup or a more capable tower-style cooler for higher sustained loads. If you’re upgrading from a basic cooler, this headroom can be a key factor in achieving noticeably better temperatures without changing the case.

Storage and Power Supply Flexibility

For storage, the case provides one 2.5-inch drive bay and one 3.5-inch drive bay, covering both fast SSD installs and larger-capacity HDD needs. This is useful for mixed builds—such as pairing an SSD for the OS and frequently used applications with an HDD for media libraries or bulk storage. For power supply compatibility, the CH160 supports ATX PS2 (up to 140mm), SFX, and SFX-L power supplies, giving you options depending on whether you want a compact PSU for a cleaner build or an ATX-style unit within the stated length limit.

Front I/O for Daily Convenience

On the front panel, you get two USB 3.0 ports, one audio port, and a Gen2 Type-C connector. This combination is practical for everyday use: USB 3.0 supports faster data transfers for peripherals and external drives, Type-C Gen2 is convenient for modern devices and faster connections, and the audio jack makes it easy to plug in headsets without reaching the back of the PC. For users who connect controllers, headsets, or portable storage frequently, front I/O access reduces cable clutter and improves workflow.

Tempered Glass Side Panel and 3 Expansion Slots

The CH160 features a tempered glass side panel, adding a premium look while allowing you to showcase your build. It also includes 3 expansion slots, which is helpful for typical mini-ITX configurations such as adding a dedicated graphics card and optional expansion cards where needed. If you’re planning a compact gaming build, this slot count supports common setups while keeping the overall chassis size manageable.

Who Should Buy the DeepCool CH160?

Choose the DeepCool CH160 if you want a mini-ITX case that balances compact portability with strong airflow and practical front connectivity. It fits well for users building a small gaming PC, a quiet home workstation, or a performance-focused system that benefits from better cooling headroom. With its 172mm CPU cooler clearance, multi-fan support, and flexible PSU compatibility, it’s a dependable platform for upgrading over time—especially when you want a case that won’t limit your component choices early on.
