Cubitek Tattoo Fire Review

(6 Comments) »

Introduction


Thanks to Caseking.de for providing the review sample.


Cubitek is another new case brand out there. While 2011 will be a big year for them as a long list of all-Aluminum enclosures are being planned. We have taken a look at a prototype of the Cubitek XL Tank recently and now have the pleasure to take a part the Tattoo Fire, which is the most elaborate case in the Tattoo Series. Cubitek also offers the Tattoo Beta and the Tattoo Pro. Intended for those on a budget, the Beta features the same look and feel fo its more expensive brethren but comes with fewer fans and a normal grey interior. The Pro and Fire are identical as far as the feature set is concerned, but the former offers an all black paint job, while the Fire - as the name implies has a red coating internally.

Packaging


Cubitek packs the chassis in a simple brown cardboard box with some sort aztec tattoo printed on the front. If you want to take a closer look at the chassis itself, you have to turn the package around. All the specifications and contents are listed on the smaller side panels of the cardboard.


The case is held in place by two simple, but fairly thick Styrofoam spacers. These should serve their purpose well and protect the chassis from any damage. A plastic bag, which has been placed over the enclosure at the factory also makes sure that you will receive it without any scratches.
