Over the years I’ve tried a variety of computer
cases for HTPC use. In the beginning the craze for HTPC cases were small, make
it small, so cube cases were the craze, allowing for full height cards in the
most compact spaces possible. Eventually HTPC cases moved onto incorporating
the A/V style, with low profiles and custom expansion slot adapters. In some
cases low profile, small form factors just don’t cut it. That is where the mini
cube comes into play. Recently Vida Box has introduced a new line of cases, The
VidaBox CubeCase. The Vida Box CubeCase is a Mini-Itx cube case server chassis/Media
Center case. Vida Box is known for their premium HTPC parts, media server
platforms, and complete digital entertainment and control solutions. We will
see if this new case holds up to their brand and how it fits into their product
line. @ MissingRemote
