Case DeepCool WAVE V2 Black

DeepCool WAVE V2 Black is a compact Mini Tower case for Mini ITX and Micro ATX configurations, aimed at more budget-friendly and simple builds without unnecessary effects. Black chassis, no window, and no included fans – ideal if you want to choose your cooling and components yourself. Despite its small size, it accommodates a graphics card up to 320 mm and a CPU cooler up to 145 mm, providing decent freedom in hardware selection. You also get a serious number of drive bays, which is rare in this class of cases.

What you get

120 mm fan or even water cooling can be mounted at the front, and at the back – 80/90 mm fan, plus another 120 mm on the side, so the airflow is completely under your control. With up to 3 x 3.5" and 3 x 2.5" bays, you can easily make a build with a separate SSD for the system and several larger HDDs for games, media, or backups. Support for power supplies up to 150 mm, mounted on top, is convenient for more accessible ATX PSU solutions, without worrying that it will interfere with the graphics card. The maximum GPU length of 320 mm allows you to install quite serious graphics cards for 1080p/1440p gaming, as long as the rest of the configuration allows it. The external 5.25" bay provides the option for an optical drive or front panel for additional ports if you still rely on such.

• Compact Mini Tower format supporting Mini ITX and Micro ATX motherboards, suitable for smaller desks and limited space.
• Fan support: front 1 x 120 mm, side 1 x 120 mm, back 1 x 80/90 mm, allowing you to adjust airflow according to components and noise.
• Available 3 x 3.5" and 3 x 2.5" bays, which is a lot for this size case and allows a combination of SSD for OS and several large HDDs for storage.
• One external 5.25" bay for an optical drive or additional front panel if you need specific devices up front.
• Maximum graphics card length of 320 mm and cooler height of 145 mm, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of mid-range components.
• Support for 120 mm water cooling at the front, if you prefer more compact and quiet CPU cooling.
• Top-mounted power supply with a length of up to 150 mm, without included PSU, so you can choose configuration and power according to your needs.
• Simple black design and windowless panel, aimed at more discreet builds or office/home machines without a focus on RGB.

Who it is suitable for

This case is suitable if you want a compact Micro ATX or Mini ITX system for 1080p gaming, office/home computer, or a small storage build with several drives. A good choice if you do not care about a glass window and RGB, but rather functionality, more drive bays, and low price. It is not the best option if you plan a very powerful, heat-generating high-end build with massive air cooling or a large radiator.

The combination of compact dimensions (387 x 175 x 353.5 mm), space for a long graphics card, and many drives makes the DeepCool WAVE V2 Black a practical choice for a sensible, tight build without unnecessary extras. If you are looking for a small, functional case that you can rely on for years, this configuration of specifications is quite a reasonable balance.
