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

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.

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

Efficiently cool(temp) case.. Has good airflow and rubber grommets for water-cooler.. Fans have enough power to keep my system around 25C idle(fans at lowest speed) and 55C gaming(fans maxed out).. quiet.. dust filters on fans(even in bottom hole for power supply fan)*.. manual fan control**.. able to customize pegs to accept most motherboard sizes/shapes(concerning the holes for the mounting screws)... you can also mount the power supply with its fan facing inside the case or facing the dust covered hole in the bottom of the case.. very customizable very easily... great deal for the price I paid.  The only covers to prevent dust are over the fans, which is nice.  I"m pretty happy with this case,  I strongly recommend this case for beginners or those who can efficiently cram a lot of accessories into a smallish/medium case.. as long as this case holds up, I intend to use it until I can no longer fit anything more into 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-2012-06-29

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-2012-06-29

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 Nighthawk Black-2012-06-29

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.

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.

PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel PC Case-2012-06-28

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 Nighthawk Black-2012-06-28

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.

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

I bought this to start out my new computer build and am very happy with it a month into owning it.
The fans keep air circulating through my case very well and it also looks very sharp from the outside. 
Plenty of space, lots of drive bays, mount for PSU on the bottom (better for air flow and temp control IMO).
Solid construction, easy to install hard/disc drives, plenty of air flow with grated/mesh construction and 3 x 120mm case fans!


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

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-2012-06-28

Attractive blue LEDs with a switch for all of them. Fan filters covering all intakes to stop dust. Side window is attractive if you have it on your desk.  Great Case. Really well ventalated and the adjustments to the fan make it great for reducing noise, or increasing airflow while using demanding apps or games. Plenty of room for everything that I had to slam in this beast looking case.  Great case I recommend buying it.




 


 

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

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.

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 Windtunnel PC Case-2012-06-27

Pros: big really big my 5870 fits in and it still has space. fans are nice quite but move a good amount of air. they look good. i have had alot of good comments on a 3 of my cases all made by xclio.


Cons: no yet


Other Thoughts: the metal i thick i had to modife the clip that holds the pcie, pci cards in to clear the 5870 video card the little progs hit the video cards board and fan cover. not a big problem
thanks for the good product at a good price new egg and xclio

Efficiently cool(temp) case.. Has good airflow and rubber grommets for water-cooler.. Fans have enough power to keep my system around 25C idle(fans at lowest speed) and 55C gaming(fans maxed out).. quiet.. dust filters on fans(even in bottom hole for power supply fan)*.. manual fan control**.. able to customize pegs to accept most motherboard sizes/shapes(concerning the holes for the mounting screws)... you can also mount the power supply with its fan facing inside the case or facing the dust covered hole in the bottom of the case.. very customizable very easily... great deal for the price I paid.  The only covers to prevent dust are over the fans, which is nice.  I"m pretty happy with this case,  I strongly recommend this case for beginners or those who can efficiently cram a lot of accessories into a smallish/medium case.. as long as this case holds up, I intend to use it until I can no longer fit anything more into it.

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

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-2012-06-25

So happy with the first two I bought I bought two more! Air flow if the key to computer life....period.
With 3 fans each with speed control switch for this price like WOW! Bottom mount power supply. Rock solid build.
Blue lights on all fans if your in to cool blue! You can not do better for the price!

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
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.

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.
