With the Macube series, Deepcool has always aimed to deliver uncompromising all-steel construction quality on a budget, and the Macube 110 is no different. Clocking it at the $50 mark, the chassis looks and feels better than the vast majority of enclosures in this price range. That said, even if you are not on a tight budget, but looking to build an mATX system, the Deepcool Macube 110 could be a good starting point as you can funnel the money saved into a set of ARGB fans and a controller, for example.

That said, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear where Deepcool had to simplify things to hit this price point. As alluded to above, the Macube 110 does not come with a fan hub, and the internal tooling and engineering is much simpler than with the Macube 310. This does not make the layout ineffective in any way, but is the simple reality of a case at this price point. However simple, it works well and doesn't feel cheap in any way either. On top of that, the steel GPU support bracket is still present, which is a nice touch. On the exterior, Deepcool ensured that all the little touches that make the Macube series somewhat unique are still present as well. You even get the green USB 3.0 ports and magnetic securing mechanism with its long grip bar for the clean glass window.

All in all, these choices result in the Deepcool Macube 110 being a beautiful, sturdy, and for its price segment excellent no-frills chassis.
