The DeepCool CH260 WOOD takes the wildly successful DNA of the ultra-compact CH160 and scales it up to accommodate Micro-ATX motherboards and ATX power supplies. Available in both Black and White, it is designed for builders who want a space-efficient, desktop-friendly footprint without paying the premium “ITX tax” for miniaturized core components. By utilizing a wraparound mesh design and a striking wood-grain front I/O panel, the CH260 moves away from aggressive gamer aesthetics and leans into a sophisticated, furniture-like presence that looks natural in modern living spaces and offices.
Despite its modest external volume, the internal layout is aggressively optimized for high-end hardware. It completely abandons front-mounted radiators to maximize horizontal clearance, allowing it to comfortably swallow the largest flagship GPUs on the market while dedicating the entire roof to massive 360mm liquid coolers. Furthermore, it actively embraces the future of PC building by providing the necessary 29.6mm rear backplane clearance to support next-generation, rear-connector motherboards.
Key Features and What They Mean
Massive GPU and CPU Clearance
Space constraints usually force compromises, but the CH260 defies its form factor. It supports towering air coolers up to 174mm in height, easily clearing massive dual-tower coolers like the DeepCool AK620 or Noctua NH-D15. For graphics cards, it supports lengths up to 388mm with front fans installed, or an astounding 413mm without front fans. This means you can comfortably mount an RTX 4090 or RX 7900 XTX inside a highly compact Micro-ATX chassis without modifying the frame.
Wraparound Mesh and Pixel Customization
Thermal management relies heavily on the perforated top and front panels, which allow cool air to be drawn straight into the GPU and exhausted through the roof. Unique to this chassis series, the square perforations on the mesh panels are sized perfectly to accept DeepCool’s “PIXEL” rubber bits (sold separately), allowing you to physically create 8-bit style pixel art directly on the exterior of your case for personalized styling.
Rear-Connector Motherboard Support
The CH260 is forward-looking, featuring a specially designed motherboard tray with a 29.6mm clearance gap. This natively supports the new wave of cable-hidden motherboards (such as ASUS BTF or MSI Project Zero). By moving all bulky 24-pin and PCIe power cables to the rear chamber behind the motherboard tray, the main glass viewing area remains completely devoid of cable clutter, allowing the wood-accented aesthetic to remain flawlessly clean.
Competitive Positioning
The DeepCool CH260 WOOD sits in a highly competitive bracket alongside cases like the ASUS Prime AP201, Tecware Fusion, and Fractal Design Pop Mini. However, it carves out a distinct niche. It offers the natural wood-accented elegance popularized by premium cases like the Fractal North, but delivers it at a significantly more accessible Micro-ATX price tier. Compared to its smaller sibling, the CH160, the CH260 is vastly more practical for the average builder because it allows the use of cheaper M-ATX motherboards and standard ATX power supplies, drastically lowering the total cost of the PC build.
Philippine Buyer Perspective
What Philippine Buyers Are Saying
Based on discussions from local Philippine PC building communities and hardware forums, the DeepCool CH series is highly praised for democratizing compact builds. Local builders frequently discuss the “ITX tax”—the painful premium associated with buying ITX motherboards and SFX power supplies in the Philippines. The CH260 is widely celebrated locally precisely because it avoids this trap. The wood aesthetic is also a major talking point, as the minimalist “Japandi” or workstation look has become a massive trend for home office setups across Metro Manila.
Our Take
The CH260 WOOD is an incredibly smart chassis design, but it requires careful component planning. Its greatest strength is hardware compatibility, but the ATX power supply limitation is the absolute most critical factor to watch. Because the PSU is mounted internally behind the front panel to allow for massive GPUs, cable management space is at a premium.
We strongly advise buying a fully modular power supply for this case, and ideally, selecting a unit that is 140mm long (like the Corsair RM750e). If you attempt to cram a non-modular 160mm PSU into this frame, the cable clutter will completely block your front intake fans. Additionally, you must factor the cost of case fans into your budget, as DeepCool ships this unit completely bare to keep the base price competitive. A 3-pack of high-static pressure 120mm fans for top exhaust and rear exhaust is effectively mandatory for a healthy build.
Known Compatibility and Setup Notes
Critical PSU Length Limit: This case supports ATX PS2 power supplies, but the absolute maximum physical length is capped at 150mm. Do not purchase older or high-wattage ATX power supplies that measure 160mm, 170mm, or 180mm, as they physically will not fit alongside a graphics card.
No Included Fans: The CH260 does not come with any pre-installed cooling fans. You must purchase your own 120mm or 140mm fans separately to ensure adequate system airflow.
Radiator Placement Constraints: Liquid cooling radiators (up to 360mm) can only be mounted at the top of the case. The front panel supports 120mm fans for intake, but it does not support front-mounted radiators.
Who Should Buy This
Aesthetic-Focused Builders looking for a mature, furniture-inspired wood-grain design that blends seamlessly into minimalist home offices and modern living rooms.
Budget-Conscious SFF Enthusiasts who want a highly compact desktop footprint without being forced into buying expensive ITX motherboards and SFX power supplies.
Next-Generation Upgraders purchasing modern rear-connector motherboards (ASUS BTF or MSI Project Zero) who need a compatible chassis with the proper backplane cutouts.
