INTRODUCTION

   If you've already purchased all the needed hardware components for your new system and you're thinking about which case to house them in then in all likelihood you're also thinking about which AIO Liquid CPU cooler to pair it with. Compared to lets say a decade ago things are actually quite easier today since most cases of all sizes (even mATX/mITX ones) have enough room to accommodate at least one dual-fan AIO model. Still just like with pre-build systems there are some consumers looking for the "easy" way out and to them cases with pre-mounted AIO CPU coolers are far more appealing. Unfortunately to date we haven't seen that many cases with intergrated liquid CPU coolers (whether those are AIO or custom ones) and so when Deepcool announced the availability of their latest Baronkase Liquid Case in the beginning of the year we really had to take a look.

   We founded Deepcool with the mission of providing the best and personalized thermal solutions for customers around the world. Deepcool was first established 1996 with its headquarters in Beijing and factory facilities in Shen Zhen that produced coolers and cooling accessories for desktops and servers. In response to rapid advancements in the PC sector Deepcool further expanded into AIO liquid cooling products, chassis, and power supplies. We have built a global distribution network in about seventy countries, allowing end-users to purchase Deepcool products online or at the nearest local storefront. We have gained positive media exposure and coverage, and won awards from renowned professional websites and magazines steadily building a good reputation among general users, gamers, overclockers and modders. We are totally committed towards maintaining user satisfaction by accommodating ever-changing thermal needs while providing the most responsive and comprehensive services in the industry. Our slogan is for you to “Enjoy your cool life!” We adopted the name Deepcool since Deep Blue, a program running on an IBM supercomputer, achieved a stunning victory over Gary Kasparov, then world chess champion, in 1997. This milestone clearly demonstrated that computers have now become the most powerful tool available to the human race, and was the time when we first started our business in computer cooling solutions. We hope our products could be as effective as Deep Blue, and adopted the matching name of Deepcool to help achieve our goal.

   Deepcool is no stranger to the "art" of intergrading AIO liquid CPU coolers into cases/towers since they did that many years ago with their very successful Genome and Genome II models. The Baronkase Liquid model is actually the 5th in line after the Genome, Genome ROG, Genome II and Dukase Liquid Cooling Cases and although it may not look as impressive as the Genome models and their double-helix reservoirs (nor does it offer the same cooling efficiency) it's actually a very interesting mATX/mITX tower. Speaking of mainboards the Baronkase is also compatible with ATX sized ones but due to its 5 PCI expansion slots and limited interior space we see very little reason for someone to house an ATX system in it (size could be the reason but it's more probable that Deepcool just wanted to state that it's possible). With that out of the way the Baronkase Liquid also features a side panel made out of tempered glass, pre-installed Captain 120EX Liquid Cooling System (RGB Lighting Effects), stylish liquid flow-rotor unit, front RGB LED strip, exterior metal handle, top/bottom magnetic air filters, vertical PSU mounting space and enough interior space for 5 drives (2x3.5"/3x2.5"), 7 fans (7x120mm or 3x120mm and 3x140mm) and/or two radiators (rear 120mm and top 120/240/280mm), 168mm tall CPU coolers, 250mm long graphics cards (340mm with the plate removed) and 200mm long power supply units (160mm in vertical position).
