I have to admit, I am a bit torn about the first case from Cubitek. The price difference between the Beta, Pro and Fire are a mere 5 Euros in each steps. That already means that anyone who wants to go for this chassis, will probably choose the Pro or Fire, which clock in at 69.90 and 74.90 Euros respectively instead of 64.90 Euros for the basic Beta. That said, I really like the look and feel of the chassis and also think that Cubitek has done a great job with the overall design and theme for a chassis at this price point. It would be an understatement to say that the red interior of the Fire does not look pretty sweet.
All the work that has gone into designing a good looking chassis with a fairly long list of unique features is undermined by quite a few shortcomings - mostly due to the outdated interior layout, which may be deal breakers for some as there are plenty of modern cases at this price range with much greater usability in terms of the component choices that will fit along with better cable management and overall better implementation of similar functional features.
But if you would not loose any sleep over the interior, the Cubitek Tattoo Fire is a very useful mid range case with the ability to connect your external storage or even charge your cell phone for example. On top of that it makes an excellent impression with the red interior and the excellent build quality.
