bit-tech.net posted a review on the AOpen XC Cube EU965, which is an SFF based on Intel's G965 chipset that features support for Core 2



AOpen has added some cool finishing touches to its SFF chassis, like the plastic washers on the thumbscrews so you don't scratch the paint, and the foam across the front and inside so everything transports without breaking or scratching amongst other things. However, we can't help but feel that AOpen needs to go back to the drawing board to iron out the XC Cube's kinks because it's just not 100 percent there yet. The insides need to be organised better for improved airflow and the rear I/O panel needs to be re-planned. Once these problems have been addressed and providing that AOpen carries over everything that's good about the current design, the company might have something as good as, if not better than, Shuttle's trend-setting XPC range.
