https://www.quietpc.com/ctc-coolcube-maxi I like the cube concept. Now that I need to make my own case I need to be sure. I'm no expert at all in case building.

I don't get a lot of reactions, let me ask it differently, do you know a good case that kind of is "retro" and that can fit the CX16p card?
The case should not be too large, preferably white.

Until there is a physical machine, no knows.
There was an official case, but right now even that is a bit up in the air as the first versions could well be wholly FPGA based.
If you're looking to buy a case now, i'd save your money until there is a release date and there is some certainty about what it actually is.

It should fit, though I also agree it's better to wait for release to be on the safe side. And I doubt there is a point in cube case for X16.

Yeah, unless you have another, smaller system to fit inside the Cube that will have an expansion port or User Port access, it's hard to see why you'd need all that space.

I'd say get it if you like it, because you can always stick a micro-atx PC motherboard into it if you'd like. In fact, you could pick up something like
this Asrock board that has a built in Intel CPU and use it with Linux to emulate the X16 (and every other 8 bit and 16 bit machine). Then just pop it out (and sell it?) when you are able to buy a real X16 board.

You should paint the sides in a 3x3 grid of primary colors... call it the Rubix Cubix 16
