GamerStorm, which is a DeepCool brand, is really pushing its liquid-cooling systems in a unique way. While also selling them separately, the company has been combining them with their case designs for some time. In the past, most of their cases had the 360 or 240 mm variants embedded, which usually had them command a price tag that was not geared towards the mainstream user. However, with the Baronkase Liquid, they are trying to target that audience considering it is priced at $140-$150.

While some may argue that the sub-$100 mark is where one can consider volume, the Baronkase Liquid offers the user an AIO unit which on its own goes for at least $70. That leaves $70-$80 for the chassis with the single fan, magnetic dust filter, all-metal design, and glass side panel. On top of that, the case includes an expanded loop with a flow indicator and some embedded RGB elements, which are controllable via the buttons at the top.

Looking at the chassis separately, it fares well on its own as well considering the price tag, especially due to its unique layout allowing for an ultra-compact ATX system to fit nicely. While most users won't have any issues with length limitations, in extreme cases, the extraordinary internal structure may result in long PSUs clashing with long GPUs, but considering the target audience of the chassis, this is quite unlikely.

That said, the Baronkase Liquid as a whole is a well-rounded case that builds on the strengths of the Captain AIO system, while providing a solid, all-metal chassis to house your components in, which makes it an extremely easy point of entry for those who want to skip past air cooling without necessarily breaking the bank in the process or having to worry about a complicated assembly - that is where the enclosure's real strength lies.
