PC cases come in many different shapes and sizes, with some featuring unique designs that cater to specific tastes and interests. People who appreciate boxy styles and enjoy large speakers are sure to like the design of Chieftec’s “The Cube,” which has recently been launched in the EU.
Minimalist Aesthetic
The Cube showcases a very simple design and is available in just one color: black. This m-ATX case is quite compact, making it unlikely to take up too much room on any desk. A key concern for compact PC cases is their ability to accommodate GPUs while considering space limitations. Chieftec claims that The Cube supports GPUs measuring up to 335 mm in length.
Ventilation and Features
To ensure proper airflow, it can accommodate dual 120 mm fans. Additionally, a 200 mm fan is already installed at the front, positioned behind a round vent that is covered with breathable fabric, giving the case its distinctive speaker-like appearance. The ports are located on the top of the front panel and include two USB 3.0 Type-A, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, audio out, and mic in.
Cooling and Storage Capabilities
CPU coolers can be used, as long as their height does not exceed 160 mm. The case also supports ATX PSUs (like the MSI MAG A850GL, currently priced at $100 on Amazon). It has the capacity for dual 2.5″ and dual 3.5″ drives simultaneously, which should be sufficient for most users. The case has a volume of 34.1 liters and measures 26.5 x 33.5 x 38.5 cm (or 10.43 x 13.19 x 15.16 inches) and weighs 4.6 kg (10.14 lbs).
The Cube is now on sale in the EU, with a price tag of approximately €70 or around $80. It remains uncertain if The Cube will be available for international customers in the near future.
