I've been looking at a couple different options for the server I'm putting together. Either this full tower case or this cube case is what I've narrowed it down to. What are the advantages/disadvantages to using a tower over a cube or vice-versa. Any other help is appreciated. Thanks!

I know many folks who have the cube
personally I find tinkering around in a tower easier

a major problem with YY cubes is cooling. you can hardly get around drilling blowholes if you fully equip it, towers are much better.

cube is for the look and easier transport (although the front bezel on YY cubes detatches extremely easily), tower is much more practical though...

I prefer the Tower. I've seen and used a couple of cubes, and I have to say that even though they have an enormous amount of room, I still prefer the towers

You need a long PSU lead for the cube like Enermax,also it takes alot of room space wise since towers are narrow compared to it.
