Cubitek Tattoo Beta

Posted in Hardware

"Designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts" is the delicious premise with which he presented the Cubitek Tattoo series which includes the model "Beta" on which we put our hands. The difference with the other two models, "Pro" and "Fire" is stylistic (and color inside the window). The intention of Cubitek is to provide an economic homes (mica then much) with some characteristics of which are provided with the bands higher. Now the video preview and then our impressions.

After seeing the video, we turn to what is not seen in the video.

The first impact of this case, as soon as we raise the (slightly edited) case is positive. The design, though it is subjective, it is nice and typical of a product intended for gamers. The pains begin when it proceeds to the assembly of the components inside it.

The tool-less system is lowest quality, one of the worst ever seen. If you can look identical in appearance to many of his other band, when you are staring at cards and HDD you realize that plastic is really poor here, so much so that now we are left in the hands of a clip:

Place cards (if you have a long VGA forget it) and everything else, you try to switch to route the cables and unfortunately even here there are problems in any order. The space behind is reduced and to have air put before touching the bare minimum. Already aware that it was not worth the effort made to accommodate all inside, to hear him turn on the fans: noisy.

At this point, we turn off and dismantle them all, because the loss of time is obvious.

The line of Cubitek Tattoo was recommended a decade ago, when the houses just under 100 euros if they were not. Today we have good cheap homes, some of us have been reviewed, and 60/70 € for this chassis we seem thrown, no half measures.
