Chieftec has dropped a new m-ATX case called The Cube, and if you’ve ever wished your PC looked more like audio gear, this one’s for you. With its subwoofer-inspired front vent and clean lines, The Cube is boxy, black, and bold and it’s already on shelves in the EU for around $80.
The Cube targets m-ATX builders with a taste for audio-style minimalism
Shiftdelete.netNot every PC case has to scream “gamer.” The Cube leans hard in the opposite direction with a sharp, cube-like silhouette and a circular mesh-covered vent that makes it look more like a high-end speaker than a computer. It’s a simple design choice that delivers a lot of personality without going over the top.
At 34.1 liters and just over 10 lbs, it’s compact enough to sit comfortably on most desks. The steel chassis comes in one color matte black and supports m-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards.
Sharp XP-E501U laser projector delivers 5,000 lumens brightness, 300-inch image size, and dual HDMI all at a budget-friendly price.
Chieftec The Cube offers clean cooling and solid component support
Despite its size, The Cube holds its own in terms of airflow and hardware clearance. Here’s what you can pack inside:
- GPUs up to 335 mm in length
- CPU coolers up to 160 mm in height
- ATX power supplies
- Dual 2.5″ and dual 3.5″ drive bays
- Two 120 mm fan slots
- Pre-installed 200 mm front fan behind the fabric-covered vent
The mesh front doesn’t just look cool, it’s functional. It helps the oversized fan push air through the case without restriction, giving it an edge over many small-form enclosures that struggle with heat.
Ports and design choices make The Cube practical and premium
Front I/O ports sit on top of the case and include USB 3.0 (x2), USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, headphone out, and microphone in. It’s a thoughtful, no-fuss layout that fits the clean aesthetic.
No RGB, no gimmicks just well-placed vents and solid steel. That’s The Cube’s whole deal.
Speaker looks, builder perks
For PC builders who want a case that doesn’t look like every other tempered-glass RGB box, The Cube makes a strong case pun fully intended. Whether it becomes available outside Europe is still uncertain, but it’s already turned heads with its audio-inspired design and small-form utility.
