CONCLUSION

   Antec has once again released a product design by gamers for gamers and that’s quite important to remember when looking at the Cube. It has ample interior space for a Mini-ITX case (350mm long graphics cards and 190mm tall CPU coolers is not something we generally see with such cases), RGB LED lights which give it many points in terms of appearance, rear 120mm LED fan, 6 fan hub (speed can be controlled from the top I/O), tool-less side panels with darkened acrylic windows and a certification by our friends over at EKWB which although in reality may not really “offer” much or anything significant in terms of features having two companies cooperate for a product is almost never a bad thing especially since we are talking about a product aimed at gamers (as is the Razer one). For me of course a larger version of the Cube with more room for drives, radiators and graphics cards would be far more interesting and handy (so I hope Antec does consider building one in the near future) but then again I don’t look at it purely from a gamers standpoint.

   The EKWB certified version of the Antec Cube currently retails for 262Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) and you can also find the Antec Cube Razer certified version in the USA for USD219.99 (Newegg) a price tag which is somewhat over the top (especially for the EKWB version). Of course the Antec Cube certified by EKWB is far from the most expensive Mini-ITX case in the market today but it’s also far from the most affordable one so you really need to weigh things. At the end of the day if you like what you see and you also think that it covers your needs then you should really consider it. As for us well we really like its looks and available features and although we probably wouldn’t use it in our lab because of its size (Antec please make a larger one) still we think it’s a very good choice for gamers and people in general who are after a nice looking and spacious Mini-ITX case and that’s also why we give it our Golden Award.
