The Cubit 5 is configurable as a ready-to-go system as above, with various principal functions in mind, eg media, study/office use, design, gaming. It is fully Microsoft Media Center approved.

[It is also available as a case-only kit from some of our PARTNER SITES if you wish to build your own configuration. However we don't recommend the DIY option unless you are an experienced PC builder.]

In all cases, at the heart of the Cubit 5 systems are mainboards and power supplies from the world-renowned boardmaker Shuttle, with Shuttle's unique heatpipe-based processor cooling.

THE QUICKSLOT SYSTEM

The Quickslot system (shown opposite) allows us to load components onto trays outside the case and then slot the trays in - that's how we fit so much into such a compact unit.
