I have seen a Borg cube 'Piggy Bank' (!) whose edges were of the order 
of 15 cm - 20 cm (6-8 Inches). I thought it too large for gaming, but 
you may wish to differ. Also the price was rather steep. Don't remember 
the manufacturer (Galoob ?)

Of course, the volume of a cube is rather easy to calculate, so you 
don't have to give it a bath ;-)
