Assembly


Adding the motherboard is done by traditional means, with the use of spacers and screws. The openings for cable management line up nicely, so your final assembly should be clean as a result. The GPU support bracket is easily adjusted and actually works really well.


To install an SSD, simply screw in the provided metal pins and push the drive into one of two rubber-ringed placement possibilities. This works well enough, and the drive doesn't budge even though a tool-less method.


To install 3.5" drives, you have to tip the system over and remove two screws before pulling out the cage. It allows for two 3.5" drives or a mix of one such unit within while the top holds a 2.5" variant. Once filled, simply place it into one of two available spots to either give you room for liquid cooling at the front or an extra-long PSU.


Adding the power supply is a bit of a squeeze, just to get it underneath the shroud, but there is plenty of room for a high-capacity unit, so you may power all your gaming hardware with ease.


The lack of grommets does make the interior look slightly busier than necessary, but everything is routed cleanly. We were able to utilize most of the hooks for clean cable management behind the scenes, but it could be even tidier with a little more love and patience.

Finished Looks


Once turned on, the LED in the top lights up white when a drive is accessed, and you can clearly see the hardware within the Deepcool Macube 110 because of the lightly tinted glass panel. In the rear, everything is where you would expect it to be for a classic mATX chassis.
