Checking out Cubitek's new Magic Cube AIO midtower. Looks like a great blank canvas for Modding, with ample space for watercooling hardware. The HD/SSDs mount on wall, so you have ample interior space for water cooling hardware. It fits 240 or 280 radiator in front without any modification. Good layout for large graphics and 1.25″ space behind the motherboard tray.

Hahaha. 280$. Helll no.
Got me pretty excited until I saw that price. I'd go Lian-Li for half the cost.
 
Price is a little insane, and TBH it seems like there should be more grommets for cable management.
 
Really weird case, especially front panel cover. Rad capacity is not that impressive, just 240/280 at the front, top is too close to mobo to even mod something.
 
I like it alot. But of Course, im a sucker for Aluminium.
 
This thing is basically perfect.
I'm finally going to move away from my PC A10-B I think.

I agree with the asking price and the need for more cable routing holes. $199 would have been manageable for a mid-tower.

The front interrupts the otherwise clean lines of the case. Needs another fan at the top.
The mobo area is positioned too close to the top of the case. These are deal breakers for me.

Look at the cases that are made under $100 and then come back with your thoughts.
 
I do not believe a flat piece of aluminum as the sides qualifies as a case that is super high quality. Is the main chassis made of aluminum or steel?
I would have much rather seen the entire front on standoffs instead of just the plate over the fans. Cut a hole where the buttons and ports are so they are still flush but not connected if removing the front panel.
 
The price is reasonable for an ALL ALUMINUM CHASSIS. It's not a midtower, it's a EATX tower with a small form factor.

Try finding a EATX, all aluminum chassis in this price point and then come talk. Cos you can't. Lian Li equivalent would be $100+ on this.

The PC-90 is $200 ?
 
A handful of enthusiasts will buy it, but not enough to generate enough sales for it's longevity. The cost saving flat panels and lack of storage trays don't relate to the high retail...After the shiny new case excitement wears off, You're cursing every time you have to remove the panels with four TINY thumbscrews. . Front intake plate hinders airflow. I'm still perplexed why they wouldn't have perforated ventilation holes ...

Andrew has posted video guide of the mods he performed to the case he reviewed

I am seriously considering replacing my beloved Lian Li PC A10-B with this case.

That front panel mod is amazing. If any shops offered these with windows and the front grill either perforated or cut out and replaced with a mesh... That's where I'd be getting mine from.

I think hiding the drives behind the motherboard tray is a significant bonus... It cleans up the interior a lot, and makes the front of the case way more useful, without having to make the case really deep!
