The Cubitek Mini Tank

cubitek_mini_tank.jpg


I really like this case and wouldnt mind having this case for my next build, as I like the idea of building a tiny pc. The prob with the mini-itx is all motherboards only has 1 pcie slot and no others. I would need 2, for my gfx and sound
 
Ive looked and no m-atx cases stands out or looks as smart and dinky as the Cubitek

How good are the onboard sound nowadays on motherboards, Would I miss my x-fi extreme music soundcard?

It's a decent enough case, but I don't like it because I'd never use all the bays; 3.5" or 5.25". Just need enough space for three 2.5" drives and a slim optical drive - that would save a lot of space...

Yeah its like with my antec 900 case,, Im only using 3x 3.5" drive bays out of 6 and 1x 5.25" bay out of 3. Same goes with my motherboard as Ive got 2 cards doing nothing, so whats the point of have a huge pc when you could have a nice tiny pc with the same amount of air cooling for a highend gaming pc

But yeah the case looks great but it means, I wouldnt be able to add cards or memory at a later date as the motherboards only has 2 mem slots,, but Im guessing 2x4gb of mem is more then enough anyway to last..

So the question is,, will I regret going for a m-itx system for my next build?
 
but the lian li v351 isnt a gaming case.. The Cubitek can take a gtx580 gpu if the drive cage is removed,, It looks like I would have to chop the hdd cage in half, to fit 2 3.5" hdds and my 6950 inside.
