Phobya WaCoolT Cube 1 Medium Black

The first truly water cooling-oriented enclosure: The Phobya WaCoolIT Cube 1 Medium Watercase black!

Phobya is a legend in the water cooling and modding sector. Hence it was only a question of time until Phobya was goind to develop a whole new enclosure which would improve on the insufficiencies of standard enclosures. Hence a modular concept  was developed, allowing the customer to create the perfect enclosure!

1.5mm thick steel makes the enclosure extremely rigid and sturdy, helping with repeated changes to the system. Every black powder coates component, front & rear, inner structure, side panels: Truly everything can be removed or changed. No rivets, everything is mounted with M4 hexagonal socket screws! This gives modders a whole new dimension of possibilities in enclosure modification.

First highlight of this cube is the possibility to install two Mainboards (top max XL-ATX, bottom max Micro-ATX) as well as to operate and cool them independently. This is especially useful for home networks or LAN applications: Run a gaming system on top and e.g. a file- or game server at the bottom.

Second highlight are the two folding side panels at the right and left side, as well as the Mainboard socket plates on slides. This permits quick access to the hardware respectively water cooling components and makes installation much easier.

The enclosure is shipped fully assembled despite the modular design!

Water cooloing is a topic on which development of this enclosure focussed. Tubing and cable loop-throughs were oiptimized for this application. All rubberized openings for hoses or cables allow removal of the protective rubber frame to allow installation of Fillports compatible with 19mm holes. Many different radiator-, reservoir and pump mounting options are integrated. With this enclosure Phobya has brought the first truly water cooling-optimized enclosure to the market!

Mainboards and graphics cards: 

Especially in the high-end sector, in which many water cooling users feel at home, compatibility with large Mainboards and graphics cards is essential. Hence this enclosure is not only compatible with standard ATX, mATX, eATX and µATX, but also allows mounting of SR-2/ XL-ATX boards without any rebuilding. Even for large graphics cards, especially Dual-GPU cards, this enclosure offers plenty of space. Without modifications to the enclosure, graphics cards with a length of up to 46cm can be installed. This is sufficient for most available graphics cards.
