If you are looking for a straightforward, budget-friendly case for your computer, read on, I have the solution for you. The DeepCool CH510 Mesh Digital is a mid-tower ATX case with a clean design, mesh panels to keep the dust out, and it will fit most motherboard sizes.
DeepCool has been making coolers, cases, and other peripherals since the mid-nineties; I recall working with various DeepCool products on SA Computer magazine reviews in the 2000’s. Now that the company has a renewed focus in South Africa, we’ve been playing with a number of their products, and I, for one, have been suitably impressed.
Weighing in at just over 7kg, this case feels solid with a very sturdy side panel with thick tempered glass and a magnetic latch to show off your components. You can also screw the panel in place if you don’t have a need to open your case too often.
The DeepCool CH510 Mesh Digital case is quite spacious inside. You can install up to nine 120mm fans or five 140mm fans. If you make use of AIO CPU coolers, you can install up to a 360mm radiator in this case.
If you’ve got a beefy graphics card, you also don’t have to worry about a cramped fit. You can install a graphics card up to 380mm long, and there’s even a built-in graphics card support arm to keep things balanced. This GPU support bracket can be height adjusted, and the padded arm can be swivelled into place to avoid blocking your graphics card fans.
Those gamers who keep things old school and make use of air coolers have quite a bit of freedom here, too; you can install big air coolers up to 117mm high in the DeepCool CH510.
The addition of a magnetic dust filter at the top of the case is a nice touch, but I would have liked to see more filters around the case and for the bottom filters to be magnetic too; They just clip into place.
At the bottom of the case is a large enclosed compartment that will keep your power supply out of sight and give you room to store excess cables. Here you will also find two drive bays for solid-state or mechanical hard drives.
As its name implies, the Mesh Digital part of the name infers that there’s plenty of airflow through this case, and the front panel is covered in a mesh grate to allow it to suck in as much air as your fans allow. Just above the mesh panel is a simple LCD panel that will display CPU and GPU temperatures.
From a PC builder’s perspective, this is a great case to house your gaming PC and aesthetically speaking, it’s not too bad looking either. We’ll certainly be keeping this case around to use for other test builds.
