Antec Cube Designed by Razer Chassis Review

Complete System
This was not an easy chassis to build a system inside, as while it’s spacious, most of that room is either for the front mounted cooling, or for the PSU cover, so the actually GPU/Mobo area is a little cramped. That’s no fault of Antec’s though, just the nature of a mini-ITX motherboard. What I do love is that the cable routing is super neat and tidy, the build looks very clean overall. The wide design of the chassis also means that you can easily fit quite a large CPU air cooler here, and the length also means that the massive 270X we installed didn’t pose any issues either.
There’s lots of room in the bottom for excess cables, and as you can see, there’s plenty of room up front for a thick radiator if you wanted one.
Clean cable routing means clear airflow, which is important in such a confined space. With a large intake on the front and that rear fan mount, however, airflow isn’t going to be a problem and the water cooling capabilities are sure to keep the enthusiast crowd more than happy.
All panels back in place and you can barely see much inside the chassis, just about making out the GPU in the top, and some of the CPU cooler through the side window.
On the other side, you can see the SSD and the PSU through the window, but again, only slightly.
From the front, everything looks neat and tidy, and you can just about see some light passing through the front panel filter between those ventilation slots too.
Power the system on, the front panel Razer logo lights up with a stunning bright green light, as does the top panels power switch.
While the LED strips down the side give it that street racer under-glow vibe that looks awesome in a darker room.
The heavy window tint doesn’t give much away without adding more interior lighting. However, we can see the red glow of our motherboards LED lighting through the top.
As well as the LED on the side of our GPU.
