Abee Intros Acubic C10R Line of Mini-ITX Cases
Japanese premium PC case maker Abee introduced the Acubic C10R line of cubical mini-ITX cases. Available in five metallic color options - black (piano), white (glossy), silver, blue, and red; the cases measure 239 x 229 x 229 mm (LxWxH). Its interiors pack enough room for add-on cards as long as 190 mm (a compact GeForce GTX 660 Ti should make it), and CPU coolers as tall as 55 mm (most C-type coolers should make it). It features one each of 5.25-inch, 3.5-inch, and 2.5-inch drive bays. Ventilation includes a 120 mm front intake fan, and provision for two 60 mm rear exhaust fans. Made with aluminum panels and an opaque acrylic front, the cases weigh about 3.2 kg. They're priced at 27,980¥ (US $320).

It should be $250 cheper... :laugh:
A single blanking plate makes it impossible and the distance from said plate to the side of the case that doesn't even have ventilation holes make it impossible to fit 90% of cards.
About the only thing that'd physically fit would be a passive, single-slot low-end card... and I still question if that'd work due to a lack of space or cooling potential.
I think the idea behind this is you run onboard video and be content. ;)
But, it does remind me of a Lian Li and I guess it isn't price so strangely. Not many of these type of cases out there and if the build quality is high then I see this being only marginally ($50 - $80) over-priced compared to its rivals.
So, yeah, not impressed....
Way over priced and seems it would die of quick because of that.
