Sunbeamtech UFO Acrylic Cube Case
Packaging

Packaging
The packaging for the UFO Acrylic Cube is certainly a no-frills offering. The box features a simple image of the product on the front and a set of images on the rear illustrating the Sunbeamtech Acrylic Cube case' features. The case specifications are found on the side of the box.
Removing the outer shell reveals a well packaged and well protected inner shall. Each individual piece of the Cube case is housed in a sheath of polystyrene-like material, and the associated case hardware sits on top.
The installation hardware that ships with the Cube case is quite significant, and a little daunting to say the least. The packaging includes an instruction booklet with very easy to follow text and quite detailed images of each stage.
Included in the Cube case packaging is:
* UFO Acrylic Cube case panels
* 2 x 120mm fans and grills
* On/Off button assembly
* Case feet
* Screws, screws and more screws
* 35" - 5.25" HDD spacers
* Panel brackets
* Motherboard I/O panel with blanking plates
* 1 x case speaker
* A pair of Michael Jackson's finest.
Now that we've had a look at the packaging and its contents, let's have a closer look at the case and how easy it is to construct...
A Closer Look
The On/Off button assembly features 2 x USB 2.0 ports and speaker/mic ports. The buttons feel really nice and easy to push, and have a quality feel about them. You will also notice the assembly has 2 x LED's present; one for power and one for HDD activity.
The two supplied 120mm fans are a little bit of a mystery as I couldn't find the exact fan on the Sunbeamtech website. I do believe though that they are an SLF-12-B Silent LED variety with a noise output of 21dbA and a rotational speed of 1200RPM.
The panels on the UFO Acrylic Cube case are simply screwed together using thumb screws and the screw holes present in the panels.

that actually looks really nice 
EDIT: must be odd looking at it and being able to see everything
plus, nowhere to hide cables!

Awesome little review there PV. I was suprised at the cost of that thing, looks sexy 
I'm guessing a disadvantage would be the fact that watercooling would be almost impossible?

Yeah tis not too bad at all mate, it's really grown on me.
Thanks jiffz. Actually water-cooling it would be a cinch, and it is on my 'to do' list next year.

I like this format. Kinda reminds me of Orac from Blake`s 7. Just need a key thing to slot in the top.
Talking of wc`ing, there`s a project log I can`t find that did something like this from scratch, looked amazing.

haha you saw that. I thought everyone had missed it 
Yeah I would imagine that Sunbeamtech would be ok with the UFO moniker as it is a pretty well used generic name. I may be wrong though

But i do like the idea of the mobo on top - makes more sense for airflow + the lack of it that you get in a small case like this.

I want, I want and I want. It fulfils my clear case/purple look perfectly (uv blue is purple to me). Only problem is I need a bigger desk first...
Cool! I'm glad you liked the review Danni and let me know what you think if you manage to source yourself one 
Heh- that's where I'm having problems- can't find one in the UK anywhere. I have my local shop to ask (he will get me anything available in the UK, and I get a trade discount as my friend is self employed) but if that doesn't work I'll have to import one.
You see what i really like about this is that the mobo is on top more SFF PC's should be like this!!!
