SunbeamTech UFO Acrylic Cube Case (Review)

By Yosuan Orta

Sunbeam tech’s UFO acrylic cube case is a great product if you want to show off your sweet hardware mean while keeping things cool. The two large quite LED 120mm fans provide excellent through out the entire case. The inside the case is very Spacey and easy to install the motherboard and other components. In the front panel, you will find the power, reset, two USB 2.0, a microphone and a speaker jack. Two 5.25″ external bays, and two 3.5″ drives. If you installing an aftermarket CPU cooler you might want to see if it fits first. Also scratches easily so you might want to be careful. In addition, if you were worried about cable management I would recommend a modular power supply. It was very easy to build also easy to take apart and rebuild. Once you fired up the case, it glows a bright blue, which looks great when lights are off.

By Yosuan Orta

Although this case looks cool, it is a bit heavy but does provide superior cooling with one 80mm fan in the front for in and a massive 120mm fan for exhaust ventilation. The front panel is easily removed in order to clean out the filter from the front fan. This case has lots of room for drive bays 5xExternal 5.25″ Drive Bays, 1xExternal 3.5″, 4xInternal 3.5″ Drive Bays. the front panel works great has a 2xusb and 2xaudio ports and also has a 1xIEEE1394 the material in this case is designed very well but does have a few sharp edges in the corners. the inside of the case have a great layout, didn’t feel really roomy even though its a Mid Tower unless you will have to do some cable management and you should be able to get some extra room and even better cooling. In the expansion slots I need notice that the expansion holders where plastic and did not hold 100%, it was loose or got loose most of the time.
