Antec Cube Designed by Razer Chassis Review

A Closer Look – Interior

Pull off the right side panel and you can see there’s quite a lot of room to play around with here, despite the compact design of the chassis. There’s room for a 350mm expansion card, and it can be up to a triple slot design, pretty uncommon for a mini-ITX system! There’s a large cut-out towards the front of the PSU cover too, which allows room for the front radiator mounts so you can easily fit a 240mm radiator there.

In the rear, a 120mm fan is pre-installed, although it can also support a 140mm fan or similar sized radiators if you desire.

Each of the expansion slots comes fitted with a reusable and ventilated metal cover. Just keep in mind that mini-ITX motherboards only have a single PCIe slot, so you can still only use one card despite the extra slot here.

The PSU cover will help you hide a huge amount of cables from the system, but also frees up space for airflow from the front cooling mounts.

Pop off the left side panel, and you’ll find a plethora of HDD mounts, each with easily removable brackets held in place by a single thumbscrew, which should make installing the drives a lot easier.

Hooking up your fans should be a breeze too. Mini-ITX motherboards are often quite limited in terms of fan connectors, so seven port PWM hub at the back will take care of any cooling configurations you require with relative ease.

There’s a good amount of cable routing cut-outs around the motherboard too, and the USB 3.0 port cables are a flat design too, making them a lot easier to route throughout the chassis.

There are two 2.5″ mounts here, as well as a larger panel which also supports two 2.5″ drives or a 3.5″ drive if you need it.

The PSU mounting area is huge, more than enough room for a good ATX PSU, modular cables and any excess cable gore you want to hide out of sight.

In the front, there are no pre-installed fans, which I think it a bit cheeky for a chassis of this price as a single 120mm is a bit cheap. However, if you’re spending that much on a chassis, it’s more than likely you’re investing in an expensive build and your own fans or radiators, so it’s also likely you wouldn’t want the stock fans anyway… tough call. Behind the front panel cover, there’s a pop out and washable dust filter too, so clean airflow throughout the whole chassis, which is nice.
