Man on the Street review:- Cubitek Magic Cube Case

Somnambulist · 9 Jul 2011 at 00:10

Nice. Not the best aesthetically (triple-stacked), but in my case I need a case which isn't deep but tall. Other than the Lian Li X-series which are double the price of this at least, there's literally nothing else I can think of (ignoring the Mozart case lol). Got me thinking. The 8 drive version must be like 1m tall stacked like that haha.

No offence but a case review where no parts are installed, description of the build, any problems encountered etc and most importantly temperatures/noise level with stock fans, just seems slightly pointless to me.

You've done an excellent job of showing the case off, but as a review I'd be looking for one where the case is actually reviewed.

There won't be anything wrong with YOUR one! In fact I'll probably be wishing it was mine when you're done with it. It's just stock the front panel is a bit... eh. You've hacked yours right up!

It's a case with a lot of potential for modding... but my and DIY don't really go together very well, and it's things like needing to add fans to cool the GPU which limits the length of the ones you can put in it etc etc. Basically it's a case crying out for water, and I'm poor so it's out of the question.

The review of the case is exactly that, a review of the case, it's not a build so no parts installed, nice though that would be. What I try to do is answer the questions that people reading would want answering, what's the cooling like, how do i get at things, can it be modded easily, what's the build quality like, are the instructions any good etc etc.

Love to do both, but it's not actually mine so can't risk damaging or defacing it. On the off chance the owners doesn't want it back then i'll most likely build into it and write an additional review kinda like the CM690 one I did.
