Measuring just 250 × 200 × 380 mm, it delivers a neat vertical layout, and its predominantly mesh exterior provides ventilation from nearly all sides to facilitate excellent airflow.
This design allows efficient heat dissipation even in tight spaces.
At the heart of its appeal is the digital base / display.
The Deepcool CH170 Digital White Desktop Case features a built-in LCD (or digital data base) that can cycle through and display multiple system parameters in real time—CPU, GPU, and PSU metrics including temperature, power draw, usage, and fan speed or frequency.
This gives users live feedback about key system stats without needing third-party tools.
Despite its compact size, the Deepcool CH170 Digital White Desktop Case does not compromise on cooling support.
It can accommodate tall air coolers up to 172 mm, making it possible to pair with high-performance tower coolers.
Alternatively, for users preferring liquid cooling, the case supports a 240 mm AIO radiator on its side mount with proper mesh ventilation—a rare feature in compact vertical ITX designs.
Graphics card support is generous for such a small form factor.
When paired with an SFX or SFX-L power supply, you can install GPUs up to 305 mm in length; with an ATX PSU you are limited to around 230 mm, but still retain practical flexibility.
GPU dimensions can go up to 138 mm in height and 65 mm in width (spanning up to 3 slots).
Additionally, the Deepcool CH170 Digital White Desktop Case is designed so that many GPUs can be installed directly (without a riser cable), minimizing latency concerns.
Power supply options are flexible too: you can use ATX (up to 140 mm in length), SFX, or SFX-L units, depending on your build strategy.
The Deepcool CH170 Digital White Desktop Case supports a single 3.5″ bay (convertible to 2.5″ or front fan), and one dedicated 2.5″ bay, giving you modest but usable storage expansion.
Fan support is comprehensive: top (1 × 120 mm), rear (2 × 120 mm), bottom (1 × 120 mm), and side (2 × 120 mm) expansions, plus side radiator support, furnish your cooling options.
The Deepcool CH170 Digital White Desktop Case also emphasizes usability: removable fan brackets (especially the top one, which can turn into holders for SSDs, HDDs, or a fan) simplify component installation.
It includes multiple dust filters for ease of cleaning and maintenance.
However, some challenges exist: accessing the interior is a bit complex (you might need to remove the base or flip the case), and side panel removal requires some disassembly.
Still, for users aiming to build a stylish, compact, and thermally capable ITX rig with visual system monitoring, the Deepcool CH170 Digital White Desktop Case offers a compelling mix of features and flexibility.
