Press Release
March 15, 2011, New Taipei City, Taiwan – Cubitek Co. Ltd., a Taiwan-based manufacturer of uniquely designed computer cases, is pleased to announce the release of the Tank series of PC chassis. The XL-Tank, the HPTX-Tank, and the Mini-Tank are all made with black, hairline-brushed anodized aluminum and able to accept high-end VGA cards, including the ATI Radeon™ HD 5970. Painstakingly designed, the Tank series computer chassis are built to give gamers and enthusiasts the silence, functionality, and sexiness of high-end all-aluminum cases at reasonable prices.
XL-Tank
Cooled by a huge 230mm intake fan and three 140mm exhaust fans, Cubitek’s super mid-tower XL-Tank has six 3.5” HDD mounts, two 2.5” HDD mounts, and four 5.25” ODD mounts. XL-ATX, CEB, ATX, Micro-ATX, or Mini-ITX motherboards are all compatible in the XL-Tank. Maximum CPU cooler height is 190mm. There are eight PCI slots, able to mount VGA cards up to 310mm long, and a support column that keeps long, high-end, VGA cards from bending. There is over 220mm of space for power-supply units to mount at the base of the XL-Tank. Dimensions of Cubitek’s XL-Tank computer case stand at 230 x 490 x 525mm (W, H, D).

A huge 230mm intake fan and three 140mm exhaust fans keep components cool. To give users more flexibility, the location of the two, top-panel fans can be adjusted. Large CPU coolers can also be used with a maximum height of 190mm. Users can mount nine 3.5” HDDs, two 2.5” HDDs and five 5.25” ODDs.

One 140mm front-panel intake fan, one top-panel 140mm exhaust fan and one rear-panel 120mm exhaust fan protect components from heat damage. Four 3.5” HDDs, two 2.5” HDDs and two 5.25” ODDs can be mounted in Cubitek’s Mini-Tank. P/S2 power-supply units, up to 200mm long, easily mount at the base of the case.
