I am thinking of getting the Cubitek Tattoo Fire Case.

I have found a really good review of it here.

Considering there are no reviews on the website I would just like to know what you guys think. From this review I'm certainly impressed considering I have never heard of Cubitek.

It's gonna have the following inside of it.

Processor Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - OEM [BX80623I52500K]
Motherboard Gigabyte Z68A-D3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Graphics Card Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5850 Extreme 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **OcUK Exclusive** [11162-15-20G]
RAM Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9) [CMX8GX3M2A1600C9]
Power Supply OcUK Crusade 650W Dual-Rail High Efficiency Power Supply
DVD Drive LG GH22NS70 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM [GH22NS70]
Hard Drive Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 32MB Cache - OEM (ST31000524AS) [ST31000524AS]

So guys, thoughts? :)
 
The case is very good, the sales haven't taken off that well. Think it is due to Cubitek doing zero marketing in the UK.

I might risk it and be the 'first one' to buy it. I love the looks of it and from what that review says it really is a well built case. Where is it the market do you know?
 
Looks like a decent enough case, go for it if you like the look of it. The review seemed to think highly of it. I think it looks just as good as the CM690 and better than the Lancool cases.

Plus, you're the one who needs to be happy with it ;)
 
Looks fine to me. If you are a fan of Red then it seems like a decent enough case.

I'd rather get a case like this than get the same one as every one else.
 
Butt ugly, but then 90% of cases currently sold appear to be styled to appeal to people who prefer tacky, nasty, "gaming" appearance over actual style.

God knows where this "gaming" case fad came from, but I hope it dies, soon.
 
I'd love a sleek case, plain brushed aluminium front etc. The problem I have is that they look rubbish when you start putting drives etc into them .

Far better a "gaming case" where the drives don't look awful in my opinion.

That said I have clearly no taste what with my last two cases being a haf-x and a NZXT lexa blackline (which would be an awesome case in brushed aluminium)
 
It's an all or nothing case if you ask me.

Meaning, you've either got to go all out on the red theme for it or just don't bother with it. Aside from that looks a decent case.
 
and then your hdd hotswap caddy and numerous other front panel devices... If I ever replace the haf i'll get another case with a door it think. I really miss the clean lines.

Firstly, I'd not have a hotswap bay in my PC, that can go in either a Server or a NAS or SAN. Secondly, what "other front panel devices? I've got a card reader in mine and it looks fine, certainly better than a tacky gaming case.

Thirdly, just get a Lian-Li with a door then. Clean, simplistic, stylish, AND with a door:

Even if you desperately needed hot-swap or other front panel features, Lian-Li has a full range of accessories, from multiple HDD to 5.25" cages, standalone hot-swap bays, card readers, IO panels, etc etc

Fair enough. I've found hot-swap bays are useful for error checking on HDD and moving large amounts of data around. Moving a couple of terabytes for pc to pc over the network can take a while :D
