Brief Conclusion
The XC Cube EY65 can adapt to any user and any situation via the two AGP and PCI interfaces. Like almost every barebone, the EY65 also has space in the interior for one 5.25" and one 3.5" drive and two expansion cards. Like all AOpen barebones, the XC Cube EY65 also has the parallel interface routed to the outside. A negative feature of the XC Cube EY65 is the run-of-the-mill fan, which is already loud at low temperatures.
Cable ties keep the barebone tidy
