Other accessories and conclusion

This allows for a redundant PSU to be installed similar to the one shown bellow.

This allows you to install two PSU’s, considering the power requirements of some modern devices. Perhaps it could be useful for some hardcore gamers?

This is the widow mod for the case. Shows the main components in the case, excluding the drive bays. I tend to prefer the plain look though, so no window for me.

This is the simple Lian Li bezel with holes, it does look quite cool in addition to providing passive airflow. You could possibly mod a fan behind 3 of these?

Water Cooling

The following is a radiator mounting bracket, as you can see in the pictures bellow you can install quite a large radiator.

Conclusion

I must admit Microplex.no have designed a masterpiece while maintain high quality performance features. The cube case design is indeed a unique one, with its modular design (I’ve not seen another modular cube case). I love the fact that there are already many useful accessories available for the case.

I feel maybe it should have one 5.25” side and one 3.5” side to install HDD, as it could save plenty of money in buying additional accessories but I don’t really consider this to be a downside, as its designed to be a server case so its meant for users wanting to install RAID configurations, who may implement removable hard drive racks for hot swapping.

Now there is one BIG problem; that being currently there is no place in the UK/USA which can provide this case. I managed to get hold of this case of a German company who are no longer taking international orders at the moment. For now you need to get in contact with your favourite hardware supplier and ask them to contact Microplex Norge AS

I hope you enjoyed this review, as this is my first ever review.

I will be posting my own images soon enough I just need to take some good pictures with my not so good camera.

edit: next page I have added a few pictures.

Update: 25/10/2006

There's a Taiwanese company, Jaton Corporation - www.jaton-corp.com - that now handles international distribution of this case. There are currently 1 UK distributor and 1 USA distributor and more are on the way, so the number of countries where the Cube is available should increase pretty soon.

UK Retailer: Aqua-Pc's
