Conclusion

...offers a handful of incentives including a full-size glass panel, plenty of customisable RGB lighting, and a bundled 120mm liquid cooler.

It is always nice to see manufacturers offer something a little different to the norm, and we appreciate what Deepcool is trying to achieve with the Gamer Storm Baronkase Liquid.

Priced invitingly at £120, the mid-tower chassis offers a handful of incentives including a full-size glass panel, plenty of customisable RGB lighting, and a bundled 120mm liquid cooler worth roughly £80 alone.

A handy one-stop solution to creating a modern build? Perhaps, though there are compromises along the way. Baronkase Liquid lacks forward-looking USB Type-C, the external aesthetic won't be for everyone, and petite dimensions make an ATX build a little more complicated than usual.

Bottom line: building a Micro-ATX PC for a friend wanting eye-catching design without breaking the bank? That's exactly the kind of situation where Deepcool's Gamer Storm Baronkase Liquid has potential.

The Good
 
The Bad
Petite for a mid-tower chassis
Comes with a 120mm liquid cooler
RGB lighting and glass side panel
Useful carry handle
 
Lacks USB Type-C
ATX board is a tight fit
Design is an acquired taste

I read Baconkase, and am thoroughly disappointed now.
Hmm. Complaints about the RGB control switches & pcb, but that's the one thing we don't get a pic of?
Plumbing the flow meter into the AIO cooler is a neat trick, and I like the idea of moving the PSU. I wonder how short you could make it if you gave up on the bottom PSU mount or ATX motherboards?

Color scheme looks fantastic, but cooling performance is meh…
