They aren't really cubes, but they are a fair bit stockier than other cases

HTPCs are easy enough to set up, but one of the important things to remember about them is that they need to look good, because they usually take the spot of media players, so they can't be hidden from view. Aerocool's DS Gaming Cube line will help there.

DS stands for Dead Silent and determines a sub-branch of the gaming cube series.

This branch, much like the rest for that matter, isn't really cubic. The name is pretty misleading here.

Still, the company did a pretty good job of providing a sense of style, and it even allows for a selection between several color options.

All cases have removable and exchangeable top covers, allowing for a quick change between the plain-color (silence mode) and a mesh design for better airflow.

"Aerocool successfully developed the Gaming PC Chassis market and is now ready to further expand by innovating the small-factor Gaming-Cube market. Our new DS-Cube combines pure elegance with vast features and best usability," said Tony Lin, CEO of Aerocool Advanced Technologies.
