Cubitek is often compared to Lian Li and for good reason. The company offers all-aluminum cases that, at times, tend to mimic the functionality of the latter's brands. While an affordable alternative to a major brand is always a good thing for the end user, Cubitek has not really managed to offer such an alternative with the Magic Cube AIO. While this product may indeed be the smallest eATX chassis to date, its direct competitor, the Lian Li PC-90, is just a tad bit larger.
Moreover, the Magic Cube AIO offers less engineering, fewer external drive bays, and fewer internal drive bays, thus losing the battle in terms of user experience and expandability. On top of these, the product is plagued by quality issues that give one the impression that not much effort was made to make it truly functional and user friendly. A dust filter that is not held in place, wasted ceiling space, or small HDD screws and rubber rings are such examples. When compared to the PC-90, the Magic Cube AIO does offer definitive water cooling capability and a bit more outlandish design with its all-black interior, but these are not enough to sway users to buy it.
Another issue is the price. The Cubitek Magic Cube AIO costs 60 Euros more than the direct competition, yet offers less in nearly every category including quality. Cubitek really needs to raise the quality, put more thought into the functionality, and, lastly, offer better pricing. If the Magic Cube AIO did not have quality issues, had better engineering, and cost 150 Euro, this review would have been completely different. But, unfortunately, that is not the case.
