A Closer Look - Inside

To access the insides, simply pull the two panels off. The Gamer Storm Macube 110 comes equipped with a metal shroud that covers the PSU and 3.5" drives. Two openings allow for the motherboard cable to be routed nicely, but otherwise, the space remains unused.


On the opposite side is the large cutout for the CPU cooling area, as well as smaller ones to route cables through. It is clear that the interior of the Macube 110 is much simpler than with the 310. There are no grommets anywhere, but Deepcool found a unique way of adding hooks for cable management by placing them on the foldouts of each opening, which turns out to be quite effective.

There are no Velcro cable strips or a fan hub, either, and instead of classic trays, Deepcool went with rubber ring mountings that employ pins to hold each SSD in place. At this point, it should be clear that the frame is a bit simpler than what we saw in the Macube 310. While not an issue in terms of functionality, it is a bit confusing for the customer who may expect nothing but a smaller carbon copy of the ATX variant.


This trend continues with the 3.5" hard-drive cage. While it may still hold two drives, you have to remove it to install them. Above that, the whole space is for cooling in the form of fans or a radiator. Just like in the Macube 310, you will find a metal GPU support bracket which is now devoid of any branding—the 310 variant sported a Gamer Storm logo. We know that this support system is actually quite effective, but I would love to see a thin rubber lining on it.


The PSU bay in the rear is pretty traditional, but does come with the same uniquely shaped air grille as in the ceiling of the chassis. Above that, the four expansion slots fold outward for the screw holes to secure any installed expansion cards. In the very top, the aforementioned fan is found; it is also the only fan the Macube 110 ships with.


Taking a quick peek at the ceiling, there is plenty of space to install a radiator and fan combination because of the additional space above the motherboard tray.


As the Deepcool Macube 110 ships with two USB 3.0 ports and the usual audio plugs, you will find the appropriate black cables within the case as well. Present is also the usual case wiring for the power and reset buttons, as well as the activity LED. Deepcool did skip the power LED, which is just fine as you can both see and hear your system when turned on anyways.
