Testing

Testing
The Sunbeamtech UFO Acrylic Cube case did very well at keeping the test hardware cool, especially with the inclusion of the passively cooled 7600 GS.
The HDD area saw a slightly elevated temperature range due to my Antec Earthwatts PSU not having a 120mm fan on the bottom. Subsequently, the build up of warm air wasn't able to be evacuated out of the case as efficiently by the 80mm fan that it has at the rear.
As far as noise was concerned, the UFO Cube case was very quiet. So quiet in fact that you really had to strain to hear the 2 x 120mm cooling fans from approximately a metre away.
Let's head over the page to see how the Sunbeamtech UFO Cube case performed as a whole...

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!!!
