I went hands-on with this portable and compact gaming PC case — and now I'm planning my first mini ITX build

A Cooler Master Qube 340 case sits on a desk with its side panels removed, showing the empty interior, rear fan, and a small bag of screws inside the chassis.

Desktop gaming PCs have a reputation for being huge, and, to be honest, a lot of them are. However, if you're confident enough to dive into the twisted world of cable management, then a compact build could be a fantastic challenge that pays off as a space-saving monster rig. When the Cooler Master Qube 340 case appeared at Computex earlier this year, I was immediately intrigued, even if I can't afford the full gamut of parts to build inside of it just yet.

Cooler Master provided a sample but did not see the contents of my article before publishing. I'm also refraining from assigning a traditional review score to this case until I can complete a build with a full set of components.
