DeepCool Morpheus ATX+ PC Case Review

Interior
The top panel is a robust metal panel that has an integrated fine dust filter, so you have to pop off the whole panel to clean it, but most importantly, it needs removing to access the side panel screws.
With the top panel removed, there’s quite a lot going on below it, with two huge rails, as well as a fixed rail on the near side. This not only allows you to install up to a 420mm radiator but also adjust the width and placement of the mount from side to side, accommodating the single or dual chamber configuration, or simply moving a radiator so it doesn’t conflict with large motherboard VRM components.
There are multiple mounting points for each rail too, so it’s pretty easy to configure.
The glass is locked in place with a screw in the middle, so while it’s not quick to access, it’s very securely mounted, which I can certainly appreciate.
The glass is also held in place by three push pegs at the top, and two fins that slot into the bottom. There are also two large strips of foam on the sides ensuring it has a flush mount and preventing any unwanted vibrations.
The interior of this case is vast, and while it’s unlikely many PC builds will actually need this much space, there’s no doubt that the flagship hardware on the market is freaking huge, and it makes sense for DeepCool to have a case that can accommodate the biggest stuff.
There’s a HUGE PSU shroud here, offering up both 120mm/140mm fan spacings, allowing for more cooling and radiators in the bottom of the case. However, this cover is fully removable too, allowing you even more space in the front of the case.
The motherboard tray is huge too, and features a fully removable design, allowing you to move it forward in the case to create a dual-chamber design.
There’s a built-in GPU anti-sag support, which is always a nice thing to have!
There are four huge cable routing holes in the bottom.
And some recessed routing holes to the right side of the motherboard, and they’re actually a lot bigger than they look too.
Routing at the top is easy, as the whole space is left open, so there will be no issues here.
In the front, there is lots of space for fans and radiators, and interesting, an additional PSU mounting bracket here too, meaning you could run dual PSUs if you needed to.
Don’t worry if you don’t need it, it’s also removable.
Why have three separate fans when you can have one combined triple fan block!? I’m not sure this being mounted as an exhaust by default is the right choice, but it is easy enough to move around the case to suit your needs.
Behind the motherboard, there’s plenty of cable routing space, and of course, that PSU shroud is going to accommodate all your excess cables easily enough too.
Velcro straps and a deep cable channel help keep the bulky cables in check.
And there’s even a fan mounting system behind the motherboard, allowing for additional cooling to the back of your VRMs.
There are two SSD mounts here, with push-fit mounts for quick installations, and yes, the pegs for this are included in the box.
This tiny PCB is the fan RGB controller, and it’s hooked up to the front panel RGB button so you can set the lights without the need for software.
The case comes with a little component box, which includes screws, cable ties, and some little rubber bungs that can be used to add your own design to the cooling mesh.
There’s an alternative rear plate for the case too, allowing you to accommodate the dual chamber configuration.
There’s even a premium PCIe riser cable, as well as a triple-slot vertical GPU backplate which can be fitted to either the single or dual chamber rear plate.
As you can see, the pre-installed one has the motherboard mount on the left, while the dual-chamber one has it near the middle.
Since there’s a vertical bracket and a riser cable included, it would be rude not to use them, and they were really easy to install too.
