Case DeepCool MATREXX 30

DeepCool MATREXX 30 is a compact Mini Tower case aimed at budget and simpler builds in Mini ITX and Micro ATX format. The idea here is simple: small size, basic airflow, and enough space for standard hardware without unnecessary extras. The tempered glass side gives you visibility to the components, and the included 120mm fan at the back provides initial airflow. With a video card length of up to 250 mm and a cooler height of up to 151 mm, you have a frame in which you need to carefully plan your component choices.

What you get

Inside, you have space for up to three 3.5" drives and two 2.5" – more than enough for a combination of SSD for the system and several larger HDDs for games or archiving. The 5.25" bay allows you to install an optical drive or a front panel for fan/card reader control if you still work with such. The case comes with one pre-installed 120mm fan at the back, and you can add another 120mm fan at the front for better airflow throughout the system. The support for 120mm water cooling at the back gives an option for quieter and more stable CPU cooling during heavier tasks. The power supply is mounted at the bottom (up to 170 mm in length), which is fine for most mass-market PSUs, but it is good to avoid overly long models with many cables in this form factor.

• Case with form factor Mini Tower, suitable for compact builds without going to extremely small ITX solutions.
• Supports Mini ITX and Micro ATX motherboards, giving you a choice between really small and more functional budget boards.
• Side panel made of tempered glass, so you can see the components and lighting if you decide to add such.
• Pre-installed 1x120mm fan at the back and an option for 1x120mm at the front for basic, but working airflow.
• Support for 120mm water cooling at the back, if you prefer AIO instead of air CPU cooler.
• Maximum video card length of 250 mm and cooler height of 151 mm, which requires you to choose more compact GPU and CPU coolers.
• Total 3 x 3.5" and 2 x 2.5" bays plus 1 x 5.25", providing a good balance between storage space and case size.
• Front I/O with 1 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 2.0, HD Audio headphones and microphone for quick access to the main ports.
• Case without included PSU, supporting models up to 170 mm, mounted at the bottom for better weight distribution.
• Compact dimensions of 405.8 x 193 x 378.2 mm in black color, suitable for a desk or tight space next to it.

For whom it is suitable

This case is for compact, budget, or second PC builds – office, basic gaming with more modest components, or home multimedia computer. It is suitable if you want a tempered glass look but are not chasing huge video cards and massive coolers. It is not a good choice if you plan on a high-end GPU with three fans or a very powerful, tall air cooler.

The most sensible thing here is the combination of small size, tempered glass, and enough space for drives without having to pay for expensive, cluttered cases. If you are looking for a simple, compact, and functional base for a Micro ATX build – the MATREXX 30 does the job.
