Tagan Aplus Curbic Mid Tower Case

Tagan Aplus Curbic

Tagan has been well known for years for quality power supplies, now they are expanding to enthusiast cases under the brand name of Tagan A+. First they sent us their CS-Monolith case to look at, and it was a monster of a case. Well, not everyone needs or wants a large case. For this there are mid towers. Tagan has sent us their newest mid tower, the Curbic. The Curbic is an inexpensive case. Priced at around $60 it is a very affordable case, and with its mesh styling and simple lines the Curbic can look good without breaking the bank in the process. Let’s take a quick look at the specifications of the Curbic.
