The Xoxide X-UFO Ultimate Aluminum Cube Case is the Humvee of computer cases. Constructed entirely of 2-mm industrial-grade aluminum, this massive 18-inch metal cube provides a tremendous amount of room for exotic lighting, custom cooling systems, and its five external 5.25-inch and nine internal 3.5-inch drive bays.
The bare-bones chassis includes three large acrylic windows, cut-outs for a mind-numbing 11 fans, chrome front-panel switches, and a set of medium-duty casters. You can remove the drive bays, the motherboard tray, and the backplane, and Xoxide plans to offer interchangeable drive bay modules for buyers who prefer different configurations. All three acrylic panes are fitted into the case's U-shaped wraparound cover, which removes them from harm's way whenever you work inside.
With 14 thumbscrews attaching its huge cover, the X-UFO can be cumbersome to open, but a bigger complaint is our evaluation unit's soft, easily marred untreated aluminum surface. Xoxide evidently agrees; the company recently announced red and high-gloss black powder-coated versions that have much tougher finishes.
The X-UFO isn't cheap, but sometimes you do get what you pay for. We've never seen anything like it.
