CONCLUSION
With the Cube Designed by Razer Edition Antec aims to win over gamers who are either using Razer peripherals or who just like the black and green color combination more than the EKWB one. Other than that both the Cube Designed By Razer Edition features 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), front and base green LED lights, rear 120mm green LED fan, 6 fan hub and tool-less aircraft grade side panels with darkened acrylic windows. As expected however we still would like to see a larger version of the Cube with more room for drives, water cooling loops and graphics cards.
The Antec Cube Designed by Razer currently retails for USD219.99 inside the USA (Newegg) and for 248Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) so it basically costs roughly as much as the EKWB certified version. Of course just like last time although the Antec Cubes are far from the most expensive Mini-ITX case in the market today they are also far from the most affordable one so at the end of the day it all comes down to what you want and what your needs are. Overall the Cube Designed by Razer has nothing to be jealous of the EKWB version (some people will like this version while others will like the EKWB one) so it goes without saying really that we’re also giving it our Golden Award.
