Of course, anyone can build their own PC. But did you know you can build your own PC , too? Cooler Master’s Qube 500 Flatpack is poised to heat up the market for compact PC cases with the quality, performance, and flexibility you’d expect to find in a factory-assembled case. Those who didn’t know that a "build your own case" market existed can look to our In Win Airforce review as a recent taste of this rare breed, and see some of the areas that Cooler Master was hoping to improve in the Qube 500’s design. We think the company succeeded, with an attractive, fun aesthetic that comes in several colors, can host full-ATX motherboards and full-size power supplies, and delivers above-average value (and lots of fun!) for the money. We crown the Qube with our Editors' Choice honors for a budget creative-project chassis. The Design: Go On, Build Me a Chassis Though the Qube 500 arrived flatpacked, we suspect potential buyers will want to see what the finished box looks like before reading...

Cooler Master's assemble-it-yourself Qube 500 Flatpack ATX PC case gives DIY-minded builders a cost-effective chassis that can also serve as a fun family build project.
