Starting with the performance first as I most always do, it is very impressive by which I was not really surprised. The inclusion of a front 200mm intake fan allows for a good amount of airflow to get into the case to get things going and the bottom mounted rear exhaust fan helps keep it moving. The open layout that is broke up into a top and bottom also helps when it comes to regulating temperatures and with the motherboard lying flat down it makes sure all the components are getting a nice even amount of air fanning across them to help keep everything nice and cool. However, if you are looking for a bit more cooling performance there are of course more ways to customize and/or add more fans or water cooling gear inside the XPredator which is always more than welcome.
When it comes to design, what is not to like? Exterior paint job aside the interior is designed exceptionally well and offers great functionality. It sort of has a two part design, a top and a bottom and it bodes very well for it, allowing users to easily hide cables, hard drives and other things they may not want really on show in their build. The main side panel features a window on the top half and if you have one installed will be a great way to show off and have your GPU on display. The fun doesn’t stop there though, oh no! The XPredator is also designed to be able to take some water cooling gear in it which in this day and age with water cooling becoming more and more popular is almost a necessity for any case coming to the market.
The value of any item is in the eyes of the beholder, especially when it comes to custom items that are unique in design and made to resemble fictional characters that users may like to collect items from. All collectibles may be worth more to one person that the others but even looking at the XPredator cube case in its standard black version it offers good value for the money as it is a great all-around m-ATX case.
If you are looking for an m-ATX case that offers great functionality and a good price point and also comes in customized versions that may represent your favorite avengers character then the XPredator cube is certainly worth a look. It offers a lot of room and options and did I mention some of them already have paint jobs to resemble the avengers!?!
I would like to thank AeroCool for sending the XPredator Cube in for review and look forward to seeing more from them in the future.
