I guess they wanted the sides to be as thick as the cube.

I think we, the Cellar, have come up with several answers that meet the requirements as well as this.
A slightly simpler way to do the maths for this answer would be to imagine the 8x8x8 cube in the middle, then image 8 8x8 flat squares abuting each side and filling the corners. 8 sets of 64 = 512.
