DeepCool GENOME II Case Review
The Genome as defined by some sources as the complete set of genetic material that makes up an organism. Over the last few release cycles, DeepCool has been working at redefining their products and their Gamer Storm line is no different. The Gamer Storm series is DeepCool’s higher end enthusiast products. The evolution of their cases over the last couple of years shows an increase in their manufacturing processes as well as how their product designers and engineers come up with their products. The Genome II is the second generation of this particular case line and features an integrated DeepCool Captain 360 mm water cooler with an additional double helix reservoir as well as the ability to mount a graphics card vertically and some other minor updates and tweaks.
Packaging
The box housing the Genome II case features artistic graphics that show off the Captain 360 pump as well as a front shot of the three different color variations the case comes in.
The case is further protected from damage as it is placed in a plastic bag to prevent scuffs and scratches to the finish then then placed inside two foam frames.
Since the case comes with a built in water cooler, there is more than just the standard case installation accessories. The kit comes with accessories to mount the cooler to LGA 115x, LGA 2011, AMD FM2, FM3, AM2 and AM3. AM4 mounting was not included but would be provided. The kit also includes the accessories to get the PC built inside the case and includes zip ties, extra screws for the motherboard and hard drives, PC speaker, and installation manual.
