When it comes to XL-ATX cases there are not that many to choose from. Probably less than 10 are currently available. So this means you are really limited when purchasing an XL-ATX motherboard and want a case that can house it. This is actually the...

The Cubitek XL-Tank has a very nice design. We actually liked its simplistic exterior that is not too ostentatious. The aluminum construction of the case is quite sturdy. Its ability to handle a wide range of motherboard form factors up to XL-ATX...

This was the first Cubitek case I’ve reviewed. To be honest, I hadn’t heard about Cubitek before reviewing this product. However I didn’t let that fact to harm my judgement with the review. The case seems genuinelly high quality and...
