INTRODUCTION

   This may not interest each and every one of you reading these lines but i had a somewhat lengthy conversation with a person i occasionally work with the other day the topic of which was PC cases. We started talking about the various challenges a company has when starting the design and manufacture of a PC case and whether or not build quality has dropped over the years and has basically become something "extra" for consumers to expect. Well construction quality may not be a topic that we can cover in one of our reviews but although we indeed don't see many manufacturers releasing models with tank-like build quality (short of speak) like they did in the past (then again they didn't know what aluminum was back then) we do see many models focused in design and features one of which seems to be the brand new Dukase midi tower from our friends over at Deepcool.

   Deepcool was founded with the mission of providing the best performance & humanized thermal solutions for worldwide customers. Deepcool design and manufacture a comprehensive range of high quality products, covering desktop cooling solutions, laptop cooling solutions, server cooling solutions, embedded cooling solutions, and other thermal components. Our goal is to maintain customer satisfaction by serving our customer’s ever-changing thermal needs and providing the quickest and most comprehensive service available. As our slogan goes, we wish you all “Enjoy your cool life”!

   It takes just one look to see that with their latest Dukase the people over at Deepcool aim at consumers looking for an affordable good looking and rather small midi tower with a good amount of features. The Dukase supports ATX, micro ATX and mini ITX mainboards and from top to bottom it features an easy removable panel, LED strip mounting slots, 3-way fan controller, mounts for two 120/140mm fans at the top (or a 240/280mm radiator as long as it does not exceed 310mm in length), rear 120mm exhaust fan, two 5.25" optical bays, trays for three 3.25" and three 2.5" drives, room for two 120mm fans at the front (or a 240mm radiator), mounts for water pumps and tanks and enough space for up to 390mm graphics cards and 170mm tall CPU coolers. Not many things one can ask from a midi tower right?
