PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel PC Case-2012-06-29

XClio Windtunnel PC Case
Pros: I have owned this case for 3+ years now and that newegg is even still selling it is a testiment to the fact that case is worth it"s weight. Drive slots out the ying. And even more airflow then that. The set up is perfect for for gaming rigs the 250mm fans hit this thing right where it needs to to optimize cooling


Cons: It wasn"t this cheap when it 1st came out.


Other Thoughts: The top mounted Power supply area is quite a distance so if you are using a PS with short cords plan on another case or a different PS. After using these fans for about 24/7 for the last 3 1/2 years I find myself that they still run, I think one is about to go out it is slowing down but over all my best case I am prolly going to buy another and let it sit around for when I want another



 

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-06-29

This thing is simply huge. On the screen it shows you several dimension, numbers on screen.
Then you take the case out of the box and you realize that the thing is huge. It has enough room inside to fit a small army.  I"ve built a lot of computers over the last 30 years. This is one of the nicest cases I"ve come across for the money. It"s my second one in this house. Love it.



 

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-06-29

This is a very solid case for the price in my opinion. It has plenty of cooling (average temp 28C with just air) and also plenty of room for somewhat decent cable management.
The dust filter on the front completely blew my mind with how much dust it actually picked up just within the first week. Couple that with a very clean design and decent wieght,
this is overall the best case for the price.

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-06-29

 This is a very good case with 4 fans (5 if you add one to the back), It keeps everything cool with its very good airflow, This thing does better then some of the expensive branded cases out there that cost over 150$ and have bad airflow. For this great price you just can"t go wrong. Really good case.  If your building a budget PC and don"t want to mnake it top notch and want your videos cards and everything else to stay cool, You will be crazy not to own one of these trust me guys.

The HDD modular system vertical stacking makes running lots of drives easy. I run 8 drives with all interfaces so wire managment was hard. I also have a long video card and moved my top HDD tray to second from the top(under the DVD writer). I had to switch the bottom and top front fans to get the fans aligned over the HDD tray moved up. Just barely enough wiggle room . The ability to move that tray, have the PS on the bottom and the absolute best air flow possible though there are some limitations. The fan controls on top of the unit work beautifully. Both the top and the side fans also have on/off switches on the outside of the case. Not "too thin" metal. The tool less design is great, easy to work with for the most part. By far one of the best cases I have ever bought! Just the airflow alone is worth it"s weight in gold. The openeings at the back are handy if you do liquid cooling. not built too thin. Just right and awesome for the prices.

XClio A380BK PC Case
Pros: Buy this case!!!!!!amazing !!!!!! the two 250mm fans work like power horses, 250mm front intake fan blows over hard drives onto mobo and video card :) lowered my video card by 17c!!!! the side 250mm fan blows directly onto video card!!!!! plenty of room also i added one 120mm rear exaust fan and two 80mm fans one on top blowing out and anther blowing out over the mobo no heat issues at all !!!!!


Cons: very big case lol


Other Thoughts: BUY THIS CASE specially if you hae heat issues




 

PC CASE: XClio 320 PC Case-2012-06-29

PC CASE: XClio Touch 787 PC Case-2012-06-29

XClio Touch 787 PC Case
Both the noise levels and the limited availability are going to affect the final score, but they can always improve the amount of stock available for the Touch 787 over time, so don"t take that hit to the score into effect really. What we are left with, bottom line, is a super tower chassis that has a lot of the latest in features while adding a few new ones, packaging it in an aggressive looking facade, and delivering this chassis at a respectable price point. I have to say that Xclio offers everything basic and advanced users would want, and with the Newegg.com listing of $159.99, the Xclio Touch 787 is enough case to stand tall in a segment of cases that is heavily populated already.



 


 

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-06-29

This is the first time I have built a computer, and this case worked for me quite well. It has plenty of room, and I did not have much trouble fitting everything in. My favorite feature is probably the removable, cleanable, air filter at the front of the case. I like to clean my computers 3 or 4 times a year, and I love the idea of just cleaning this filter with a little water. It is a great feature. The case also comes with three big fans, which gives me a little peace of mind about cooling in the enclosure. The blue LEDs are nice, but that is cosmetic icing on the cake.  All the needed hardware was included, everything works well, and I can say that I am pretty happy.

Excellent air management keeps the computer and video card very cool. Plenty of room for all my components. Looks pretty sharp, nice sleek design.  I purchased a new case to take care of some thermal problems I was having with my old case. This NightHawk does an excellent job of performing this task. Lovely case. The tool-less design is as promised.

XClio Touch 320 PC Case
Pros: Smooth looking case, holds 8 hard drives which is always nice. plenty of room for fans*check cons on this one* easy to install everything touch fan controller is pretty sweet. Great all around case for a decent setup or media server that you want a lot of hds in check out cons but if i would have to buy this again knowing what i know i would have not and waited tell they released the fans for them.


 



 

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-06-28

This case is big enough to accommodate my GTX 260 video card (after re-positioning the Smart HDD modular system cages) and my Scythe Mugen 2 B CPU cooler (after removing the 18 cm side fan). The fit and finish of the case is good. The front door fits well.

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-06-28

Very good case, dust is easily cleaned, keeps all parts of the computer quite cool. Great looking case, plenty of room inside, pre mounted fans, great airflow, those XClio fans can really push air. Beautiful, spacious, incredibly cool and super quiet. This case has it all. Power supply mount at the bottom makes install and organization of components super easy. Lots of drive bays. 3 large fans keep it quite chilly inside. Perfect case for the hardcore gamer or home server build.


PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-06-28

Lots of fans; great aiflow. The LEDs look really cool.  I bought this case because I bought a second video card and my old case had poor airflow and would over heat with the two cards. This case completely fixed the problem, the airflow in this case is absolutly amazing. Great airflow, solid build quality, roomy inside, looks amazing.

XClio 320PC Case
Pros: This case is amazing, it was exactly what I was looking for: a case that runs cool, cheap, quiet with lots of space inside but overall dorm-room-size conscious. I am transitioning to an i7 but buying everything else before the motherboard+CPU+Ram. This case gets me one step closer, right now it has the heart of my dell 4700 in it.

XClio Touch 787 PC Case
While I would have liked to have seen a USB 3.0 20-pin connection on this case, at least we do still get USB 3.0 in the front I/O, even if it does take up one from the rear I/O to do so. There weren"t any real fit issues, but I must say these door panels are some of the tightest fitting panels I have seen in a while. It really took some force to remove the panel, and when re-installing it, I had to really force them back in place as well. The only real downside that I can speak of, and I better do it with the case off, is the noise level of these included fans. I thought the Touch 320 was a bit loud for my tastes, double the fans, and you can imagine things don"t get any quieter. While the fan speed is adjustable, on high speed, the noise is too much for me to personally like it. If I were to use this chassis the fans wouldn"t make it past low speed. Even then the ten included fans offer plenty of air at low speeds to sufficiently cool the interior and my components.

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-06-27

Looks like a server case (tons of bays), tool-less install for HDs and DVD drives. Its a bit hard to use the tool-less but it works. Room for 3-4 dvd drives and 8-10 HDs.  It has 4 fans, that look well placed. Has speed controls for the big top and side fans. Power Supply fits on the bottom so its very stable. Lots of LED lights!!  Got some whistles from tech savvy friends as they looked in the case for the first time. It looks pretty good.

PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel PC Case-2012-06-27

XClio Windtunnel PC Case
Pros: It"s huge. When I got it, I thought I accidentally ordered a Caterham 7 kit car...this thing is huge. My IT friend thought it was a server tower. Anyhow, there is a TON of room inside. I had a bit of trouble getting the front panel to stay on once I took it off, but it"s pretty much fine now. The I/O plate and my mobo (Asus M5A97) didn"t line up with the board on the standoffs, but I"d rather have it on the standoffs. Not too keen on the blue LEDs, though, but only because it seems like computer hardware HAS to be blue nowadays.
Everything I expected for (at the time I ordered it) a $90 case, well worth the money. Keeps my 1090T and HD6790 (and everything else) nice and cool under decent loading.


Cons: Where the f%$& am I gonna put this thing?



PC CASE: XClio A380BK PC Case-2012-06-27

Pros: This thing is a MONSTER. My CPU with stock heat sync runs at 89 degrees Fahrenheit. 89. The drives were all easy to install with its snap in feature; I can take out a hard drive in 30 seconds if I want to. Great Cable Management, PLENTY of USB slots, all in all a great case.
Adjustable speeds for the fans; easy access to changing the RPM of all three fans, so you can cruise silent or crank em up if your running some high stress programs


Other Thoughts: This thing is big. Don"t be swayed by its appearance, make sure this thing will actually fit where you want to put it.

XClio Touch 787 Super Tower Chassis Review from Tweak Town


I just found out a very good PC case from XClio. They have a touch panel  to control 10 fans at once. I think this is very "cool". Just check out the pics and there is a review for the Touch 787 from Tweak Town.




 


Very nice review, this is a very nice PC case and I love it.

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-06-26

Plenty of room for expansion, more room than I"ll ever need. Excellent air flow.  Decent price. This was my first complete build, and I fully expected cases like this to cost much more.  Solid, well designed and love the air flow. The fans are not silent but are very quiet. My other computer has only one fan and is much louder than this.



PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-06-25

Very sturdy construction, this case is rock solid. Airflow is good too, although the real test is in about 3 months when the temperature rises above 100. The LED"s are pretty bright, may or may not be a con, but everyone knows that the more blue lights you have, the faster your system is. The little doors that the front fan are mounted on are a really neat idea. Overall it"s a great case for the price. Comes with a lot of screws and stuff too.



 

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-06-25

This case is solidly built and well-ventilated. Parts fit where they belong and all the mount points are sturdy. It came with 3 fans so managing the temperature inside is not a problem. Aesthetically it looks great, and it"s not so big that I can"t find room for it.  The power supply  fit snugly and comfortably in its housing. More than enough room for all your drives.

actually tested this but I don"t see why not from looking at it.



 

PC CASE: XClio 320PC Case-2012-06-25

XClio 320PC Case
Pros: The case has plenty of space for what I was doing. And keeps everything nice
and cool with the fans that came with it. I like the blue leds, they put off an nice glow and don"t keep the wife up at night. <---Major plus :)
Price was what I was wanting to spend at the time.


PC CASE: XClio Touch 787 PC Case-2012-06-25

XClio Touch 787 PC Case
The touch series cases have now not only added simplicity with the touch controls for the power of the PC, the LED lighting, power of the fans, three various speeds, silencing the beep, and even locking the control panel are all just as easy as a soft touch for a second on the appropriate button. At first, what I thought was just going to be a larger rendition of the 320 we just looked at, I am pleasantly surprised to see that the ideas and implementation of those ideas are still coming from Xclio as they keep pace with other solutions, just in a different manner. Most cases in this price range offer some sort of removable hard drive racks, and Xclio does too. When the drive racks are in place, even then the orientation of the drives is just so natural to allow airflow and ease of access to then drives with just the release of a clip.

Great case for the money. Cheap, Good Looking, Blue LED fans, Plenty of room + Great Airflow.  I needed to build a cheap gaming computer for my brother and I"ve always liked XClio. This case has great cable management, it"s sturdy, cheap, lots of cooling fans. Pretty spacious for a mid-size tower. Helped keep overall cost low.

The case has so much room for customization, if you take out the HD bays you can have up to 9, 5.25 slots, you can move the front fans in any 3 slot configuration you want, both side panels remove so there is easy access to the back of the cpu it also leaves a .5 inch gap behind the motherboard mount for cable management.
