yeah, but it does give a nice quick bite of information, instead of having to go to the kickstarter page.

The wood kubb is pretty much a NUC in a different case, am I seeing this correctly? Interesting project, though.
No, not really it is bigger (222mm) and much more POWERFUL (Up to X99/GTX970/ODD/SFX PSU) than a NUC
I think he was talking about the project on Kickstarter, which really is a NUC in a different case
EDIT: ninja'ed !
But indeed, your project is on another level. I'd also add AMD Fury Nano to that list as it will be somewhere in between GTX 980 en GTX 980 Ti speeds in the same small "ITX card" size.

YES! Another person who wants an ACTUAL CUBE, not just a cuboid shape... like most cases are when you search for 'cube' (grrr). The wood is going to look fantastic!
My cube (imgur link) is 200mm to the outside edge (8L) with 185mm inside usable (~6.3L). The walls are 5mm acrylic mounted into 10mm aluminum extrusion (microrax), which adds to the overall size. I put an 80mm fan on the top, and 140mm inlet on the bottom of the case. Turns out I could have fit a 92mm fan on top, and I will update once I get a R9 Nano to replace the R9 270x and have to also redo the side panel to relocate the fan spot.
I decided against the ODD, and only have provisions for 1 SSD at the moment. There is plenty of room in the cube for more, but I would have had to have them mounted to the side panels, and that would have... detracted from the aesthetic. It's bad enough that I have a hole in one side for the GPU to breathe.
Anyway, I'm excited to see how yours turns out!

Little Update:
I decided to change the fan grill design again to match the cube look better:
What do you think about it?
Also I mailed a few companies that could lasercut plywood and so far I got one offer and I think I'll go with them for the prototypes.
If anyone knows a German company for lasercutting wood, please let me know

Well, I'm not german but dutch, alsmost the same right?
But I've got a new toy recently and it is a lasercutting/engraving machine.
So if you might be interested shoot me a PM.

True, I'll be posting some pictures there once I've got some nice examples of what I've made with it.That's a hell of a "toy" ! We have a topic for that
Oh BTW, there is a case with a real cube shape, called the Inkubus 300µ. As you're German as well, you'll be able to read this and this.
For everyone else: Cube with 207mm edge length made of wood, fits an mITX board, SFX PSU and four 2.5" drives in hot-swap slots. No dedicated GPU, but four sides of the cube are completely flat and featureless. Pretty interesting premise to build a case on.
It is only sold as a full system, though. And it's really darn expensive.

Intake from the bottom, place mainboard in a way that blocks 90% of the intake. I wonder why that case wasn't successful.
Apart from that, the slanted corner is the only similarity I see.

It's also an mITX cube-shaped case, with that "signature" corner
When it was launched I thought the Xigmatek case was a nice SFF case, although large because of the ATX PSU.
You're so right!It's not a real cube though, that's the whole point of this thread!
