MetallicGear NEO Qube – Showcase case review

The NEO Qube from MetallicGear shows a lot of hardware – through a glass front and a glass side panel. MetallicGear belongs to Phanteks, so it is more likely to be one of the big and well-known brands and tries with this case, as Inter-Tech did with the C-701 Panorama, to create a competitor to the very popular Lian Li O11 Dynamic.

Scope of delivery
The case is shipped in a rather plain brown cardboard box. It is printed with an image and specifications of the product. If you remove it, you will find the case, which is protected by polystyrene and a film for transport. This is a reasonable way to ensure that the case arrives at the customer with intact glass side panels and no other damage.
Inside the case you will also find a manual and a small box with further accessories – seven black cable ties and all necessary screws. To open the case, you first have to loosen the knurled screws for the cover, then you can remove the side parts. This is in the manual, but you have to open the case to get an explanation how it works.
Pre-assembled are already dust filters on the right side and in the bottom of the case. As usual with cases of this kind unfortunately no fans are pre-assembled or generally included.
