PC CASE: XClio Touch 787 Super Tower Chassis Review from Tweak Town-2012-09-13

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.


XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-09-13

Screwless install of hard drives, key lock for security, sturdy construction, fan to circulate air.  Installed two on two different machines. Both work well. I really like the embedded fan in the rear, quiet operation and ease of insert/removal of disks. Eight of these stacked together in my server really looks good and makes working with the drives easy.


 


XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-09-13

 The two major advantages are one these are inexpensive and two they accept standard SATA drives without any type of drive caddy. This later advantage is huge if you want to use this bay to frequently recover data off of various disks or just don"t want the hassle on an occasional disk exchange. Drive activity lights are nice and work well.


XClio IPC BP3435 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-13

I purchased this item to replace my original one. This unit is MUCH better.
First, this unit actually fits. My previous one was too wide and had to be forced into the case, while this one slid in easily.  Second, this  metal unit feels like a tank -- smooth and professional.


XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-13

Great way to fit 3 drives in 2 bays. Drives stay cool. A great little raid cage, I would both buy again and recommend to a friend.


XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-12

Solid construction. The best feeling and looking SSD cage I have bought to date. Good use of a 5-1/4" slot. Trays slide well. Solid drive caddies, easy installation, well built product. We switched over to using these in our arrays after trying one, as the drive insertion and removal works correctly.


XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-12

+ PERFORMANCE: ONLY cage for 2.5" SFF drives that can support 6Gbps. Specs say SAS1/SATA2 but from tests here(over 3 months) and prior contact with XClio support, it will support at least 6Gbps for SAS2. ( I have no SATA3 drives so do not know for certain but support says it does. )
+ FOUR drives in one 5.25" slot allows RAID configuration.
+ DUAL port outputs(SAS-* interface drives).
+ DUAL fans that are very quiet and keep drives cooler(single fan is not enuf and MUCH too noisy).
+ DUAL power input for stability.
+ SPRING force to absorb shock and hold the individual drives" slots in place.
+ TIGHT fit when sliding drives into enclosure.

Very well built drive bay - I like being able to swap out drives on the fly without having to worry about keeping around extra inserts.


XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-09-12

Price to quality this product is great. Exactly what is advertised and what I would have expected to see. If your looking for simple hot swap ability of drives between systems or the convenience of being able to quickly replace a drive in a system that does not have hot swap bays already installed this is a great quality simply solution.


 



Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 1000w-2012-09-12


XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 1000W is an excellent power supply! Got one in my older computer with excellent results and no failures and still have no failures in my second. Never have heard the fan spin, ever - in comparison to other PSU"s that can be loud and obnoxious. It was easy to install. Had it for almost over 2 months now and no problems. Runs as quietly as ever. System is stable with enough spare power for future upgrades/additions.  Can"t go wrong with 80+ gold. It runs solid and the modular design gives me lots options. Great deal for 1000w under 200 bucks.

Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 750w-2012-09-12


XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 750W is very quiet. My case fans were louder. I can"t hear the fan spinning. It has more than sufficient power for my quad core and 2 x 5870 video cards.  Eliminated the weird squeal that my previous PS had with some games. Also very energy efficient. I used to have to have two computers to run my office applications, now I have just one with this power supply. Now my office averages 2-3 degrees cooler than it used to. That"s how much difference one of these 80plus gold rated can make.


Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 1000w-2012-09-12


My test meter says the XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 1000W does its job admirably. Its looks good and installs easily in my ASUS P8P67 Deluxe. The kit has mega amounts of cables. So, there are no worries about not having a needed cable. Absolutely incredible packaging. Durable construction. Obvious attention to detail shows in the finished product. Heavy gauge power cord. The best connectors I have ever seen on a power supply, and plenty of them. Included nylon pouch for unused cables is nice, not cheap or thin. And the most important thing: 80 plus gold!



PC CASE: XClio Touch 320 PC case-2012-09-12

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.

XClio 256 Color Fan-2012-09-12


Pros: Really nice concept, it delivers a lot of air without any noise. I used a dremel to


cut a circle on the plexiglass side of an old case so cool down by wife"s pc which was


running a 65°C. After installing this and set it to blow down the GPU and motherboard,


temps are not 35°C.


Other Thoughts: To get the color you want, you have to wait until it cycles throught he


different colors (it takes around 15 secodns to go through all of them). Once the leds


change to the color you want, hit the button to make the cycle stop.

XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-12

I love the manufacturing of this bay. It is quite sturdy and very appealing to the eye. The bays when loaded feel very tight in there place. The fan pushes an extreme amount of air. I installed this drive into an old Asus barebones I purchased here a while ago and it fit quite well. I paired this with a 3ware 3950 controller running SATA drives. Overall performance has been good.


XClio Multimedia HDMI Travel Kit-2012-09-12

XClio Multimedia HDMI Travel Kit came with an ultra thin HDMI cable with mini & micro HDMI adapters included.


This travel kit provides the finest quality HDMI connection solution and perfect for your mobile devices. It is portable and easy to store and carry, so you can HD life everywhere.


PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-09-12

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.

Power Supply: XClio Greatpower 550W-2012-09-11

Great looks! The blue LED Fans are huge and quiet. This case has plenty of room and was a breeze to set up... Truly a tooless case. My computer was packed with 3 HD"s 4 optical drives an FX -60 processor and 2 Geforce 7800 GTX"s running SLI. My system ran really hot until now. This case keeps everthing cool. Front Magnetic Door easy close and open.

XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

 Fits 4 2.5" SAS/SATA hard drives into a single 5.25" drive bay slot. Looks good -- reminds me of the professional look of Compaq server products (black cage, dark red/maroon release tabs). Very easy to setup and install. Gets a lot of "street cred" when your computer buddies ask "What"s that?" and you tell them it"s a 1TB RAID5 array in a single 5.25" slot :)


 


 

PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel PC Case-2012-09-11

XClio Windtunnel PC Case
Pros: I have been using the original "Advanced" version of this case (same case as this except an added 180mm top fan) since I built this i7 920 setup back in 2008. I have ran my comp nearly 24/7 since then, and I can"t believe the big 250mm fans are still running perfectly to this day at constant full speed. Add a 120mm rear fan and the airflow is just amazing, also it is nearly silent because the 250mm fans don"t need to run at high RPM.


Cons: The plastic feet are sort of fragile, but I took mine off since it stands up fine without them anyway.


Other Thoughts: I remember the box being a bit dinged up when I got it, but luckily nothing was damaged. Reading other case reviews here, this seems to happen quite a bit, but not sure if newegg or shipping co. are to blame.

You could connect and use your HDMI devices everywhere with XClio"s mini & micro adapters.


XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

 


Never bought anything from XClio before & didn"t have very high expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Solid construction, everything is metal with the exception of the front latches. Drive caddies are made of metal and quite solid. The 30mm fans aren"t louder than the other 120"s in my system.  Decent airflow on the drive. I installed a single platter 7200RPM laptop drive & after stressing it for an hour it topped out at 33C.



XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

Sturdy  construction. Fits every 2.5" drive that I"ve put in it. Easy to install.  Installation was straight-forward, and easy.  Perfect solution for my raided ssds (one signal cable in from the raid card, one molex to power all drives). quality pcb and tray components. for the price, this is the one to get.


 


XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-09-11

Chassis & rail have full metal construction; Very well-built.  80mm low-profile turbo fan mounted on the underside provides plenty of airflow where your hard drive needs it most. On/Off switch allows you to leave the drive in-place without actually powering up the drive.  Direct connection between MoBo and chassis, and direct connection between chassis and hard drive means *ZREO* loss in data transfer speeds!


XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-09-11

 Overall a good deal. Installation and use are straight forward. Solid construction. No problems as of yet. Good price and as usual very good delivery on NewEgg"s part. Diffidently a good investment as compared to other removable drive enclosures.


XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-09-11

 Well built, Light weight, easy to install, compatible with both SATA1.0 and SATA2.0. Drive fits in perfectly. Great looks, solid construction, and good cooling.


 


XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-09-11

I tried Dual Booting and didn"t really like how things were going with it. I  now have two of these and will purchase two more here shortly. NO More problems with my system. I put my Vista Drives in and I have a Vista System. I change them out and have an XP system! TWO Machines for little cash invested! PLUS I like to try out new things like Linux and I will be taking some Server courses. Way trash your everyday system or bring it down even for a few hours by mistake when you can pull out your Everyday system and Put in another drive tinker with it and then swap it again whenever you want!


PC CASE: XClio Touch 787 PC Case-2012-09-11

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.
