Antec Cube Designed by Razer Chassis Review

A Closer Look – Exterior

From the side, you can see the Cube isn’t a cube at all, as it slopes out at the top of the front panel and actually has eight sides when viewed from the front, and it’s longer than it is tall or wide, but I guess Rombus, Octagon, or Rectangle weren’t on their naming list. There’s a funky shaped window on the left side, which actually wraps around three surfaces, and comes with a heavy tint to hide the cable routing, as this side is actually the back side behind the motherboard.

A little easier to see through here, but still the same heavy tinting on the window. Each side panel is mounted on push-click pegs, so can easily be removed with a firm tug on the sides for easy access.

The front panel comes with a fairly industrial looking ventilation design, adorned with the iconic Razer logo in the middle, which comes LED backlit for some extra swag. If you look closer, you can also see those lovely green USB 3.0 ports, which are often found on Razer notebooks. There’s also an Antec logo at the bottom, but you would have to look hard to see it.

Around the back, you’ll notice that the mini-ITX motherboard needs to be inverse mounted, and there’s a triple expansion slot design with easily removable metal covers. There’s a 120mm green LED fan pre-installed, although you can also mount a 140mm here if you desire. Finally, the PSU cut-out at the bottom comes with support for ATX PSUs, so no need to invest in a small SFX unit despite the chassis’ compact size.

The top panel has another window, which is located right next to the GPU mounting area, so you’ll be able to see the GPU design right through the top of the chassis.

On the base of the chassis, plenty of ventilation for the PSU, with a slide out dust filter at the rear to ensure it gets clean airflow. There’s two large LED lit strips too, which are in Razer green to give the chassis a cool under glow effect.
