DeepCool sets Japan launch for CG330U 3F and AN600 VC

There are two familiar stages of planning a small PC. First: “This will look adorable on the desk.” Second: measuring a metal box with the intensity of someone trying to get a sofa through a doorway.

DeepCool’s CG330U 3F case and AN600 VC cooler belong in that second conversation. Japanese distributor ASK’s October 30 announcement schedules both for November 6, with expected tax-inclusive prices of about ¥13,980 and ¥10,480 respectively. These are separate products, not an announced bundle.

CG330U 3F: a clearer view, with real dimensions

The case specification combines curved glass with a dual-chamber layout and three included 120mm ARGB fans. It accepts microATX and Mini-ITX boards, not full-size ATX motherboards. The quoted exterior is 285mm wide, 370mm high and 450mm deep.

That last measurement is a useful antidote to the word “mini.” Put those dimensions against the actual space on your desk, including the room needed to reach cables. A photograph with a clean white background is very good at hiding the rest of your life.

ASK lists up to 410mm for a graphics card and 164mm for a CPU cooler. Treat those as planning limits, then check the final arrangement of your chosen parts. A nominal length allowance does not do the work of checking every installed component and cable together.

The glass is the aesthetic attraction here. The useful question is whether your preferred layout remains pleasant to assemble, clean and live with once the glamour of the first boot has worn off. Nobody wants to conduct a tiny cable excavation just to change one thing.

AN600 VC: the cooler takes a shorter route

The separate AN600 VC is a 67mm-tall top-flow cooler. ASK lists AMD AM4/AM5 and several Intel sockets, including LGA1700/1851. Check the exact board and clearance around it before treating that socket list as a complete fit guarantee.

Its advertised 220W TDP capability is a manufacturer rating. We have not tested temperatures or noise, and that number alone does not establish how your CPU will behave in your case. The sensible comparison needs an actual workload and a noise level you can comfortably share a room with.

Build the checklist before the basket

Start with motherboard size, cooler height, graphics-card dimensions and the space available at home. Then decide whether you want this particular glass-sided build or a different layout altogether. That order leaves fewer opportunities for an attractive purchase to become an evening of theatrical sighing.
