Introduction

Thanks to Caseking.de for providing the review sample.


Cubitek made a splash last year with the Tattoo series and got some additional attention for their Tank and Magic Cube family of enclosures. We had the pleasure of reviewing the Tattoo fire and even got to preview the XL-Tank. Now Cubitek was kind enough to supply us with the HPTX-Tank, which marks the third of three HTPX capable cases on the market at the time of this review. We have already reviewed the Xigmatek Elysium, which is yet to become available and the Lian Li PC-V2120.

The HPTX-Tank is the largest of the three Tank cases, while the Mini-Tank one, which we have not yet reviewed, is the smallest member of the family.

Packaging

Cubitek has yet to use full color packaging on any of their cases. While a package does help to convey the company image and color, I rather take a simple box any day if it means that the chassis ends up being a few Dollars cheaper. The front of the massive box holds an image of a Tank along with the case name, while the rear has a simple picture of the chassis along with some of its features. You will find the features and specifications on either side panel of the package.


The HPTX-Tank has been secured with Styrofoam spacers. While I would have liked to see foam spacers, these work fine as well and our chassis made it here undamaged. A heavy duty plastic bag has been placed over the chassis at the factory to avoid any fingerprint or scratches during packaging.

Contents

You will receive eight seperate bags with different screws and small parts - much like Lian Li does things. On top there is a speaker, USB connector to mainboard plug and two fan extension cables as well.


Cubitek has also included a 5.35 to 3.5 inch adapter so that you may utilize 3.5 inch devices like card readers or the likes within the HPTX-Tank without spending any more money. A black & white manual and a foam cover round up the extra contents which ship with the case.
