Introduction
I would like to thank
DeepCool for supplying the review sample.
We will be reviewing the Deepcool Gamer Storm Genome in its black and red variant today. You may also pick between a black and green or white and blue version. The chassis aims to marry the Captain 360 liquid-cooling solution with a functional gaming chassis while embedding a double helix reservoir into the front. We have become used to Deepcool pushing the envelope in many aspects, and it seems as though the Genome does just that.

Packaging
The Deepcool Gamer Storm Genome ships in a fully colored box, which is quite the unusual sight these days as most manufacturers tend to go for simpler boxes. On the front are the different versions of the chassis, and the rear focuses on its unique feature - the built-in reservoir in front.
You will find additional information about the chassis on its sides, as well as a bit on which color variant is within. Carrying holes make lugging it home from the post office easy.
The Genome is held in place by thick foam spacers, which, unlike those made out of Styrofoam, have the added benefit of withstanding more than a single impact. A plastic bag has been placed over the chassis to keep fingerprints during packaging away.
