Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 750w-2012-09-13

First time buyer of XClio products. My impression is that I would certainly buy from them again. XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 750W has great modular design with cool and quiet operation. 80Plus Gold certificate. Capable of SLI. Silent fan is great. I can"t hear my PC over the TV anymore. Modular cabling is very neat. Cables are plenty long enough in my HAF912. Plenty of power for my overclocked i5 and crossfired 6870s.


Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 750w-2012-09-13


XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 750W is DEAD SILENT. I can"t hear it at all. It provides more than enough power for my current setup with lots of room to upgrade.  Pumps out the power I need to get things done for a quad core and lots of usb hoggers. Voltages are nearly spot on. Unboxing of this unit you can see the quality.


PC CASE: XClio Touch 787 PC Case-2012-09-13

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.

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

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!


XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-12

Very well built. No problems with installation.Packaged well.Data Transfer Rate up to 6.0 Gb/s.  Solid construction, good cooling, nice solid trays & handles.

XClio IPC TR1135 (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack )-2012-09-12

VERY easy to use, activity/power lights are just the right brightness, easy to use, lockable. Did I say it was easy to use? It is easy to use. It works well for swapping out hard drives. Hold the drives in nice and tight.


XClio TR2535USB (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack with USB3.0 Hub )-2012-09-12

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


I heard XClio and their mixed quality, but a lot of the bad reviews seemed to be on the lower end models. I bought this STABLEPOWER GOLD 750W power supply, and I have been very happy with it. The price for a 80plus gold PSU was great, It came in a very high quality almost tool box like storage case, It runs very cool, plenty of cables, and it seems to very stable with my I7 950 Oc"d to 4.2 Ghz. Overall, I am very impressed by the quality of it.

Power Supply XClio Goodpower 750W-2012-09-12

I have had this XClio Goodpower 750W for about a week now and it has been on that entire time none stop. I"m a big gamer and i can say that so far there are no issues at all it run smooth and quite very nice.  I chose this psu after my a-power 800w died, and this one is considerably more silent. I thought it was doa until I looked at my hdd activity light. Very easy to install. I will buy this same psu for my another build. 80Plus Bronze certified, good!


Power Supply XClio Goodpower 750W-2012-09-12

This right here is a GOOD power supply. XClio Goodpower 750W provides plenty of power and is 80+ bronze! For the price it was at this was a steal.  One of the best 650w out there. Very efficient, inexpensive, and reliable. Bronze Class seals the deal.   It"s powered everything I"ve needed.  I"ve been a computer tech for many years. I"ve installed hundreds of PSUs and let me tell you, this one blew me away from the moment I opened the package, extremely well made.


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


XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 1000W is one of the best for quality SLI/Crossfire builds. Clean look, quiet fan, modular (a must for DYI builds), sleeving is high quality and very versatile and single rail is fantastic. It fired right up on a new I-7 build the 100% modular makes a big difference in a smaller case when installing. The noise level is incredibly low. I cannot hear it over the sound of my case. Modular cables look good in their ribbon-like arrangement, great for cable management when squeezing them through tight spaces.  Power cables are just long enough to wire things. Enough molex connectors to power a few fan controllers and such (H100 needs a molex).

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


 


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.


 

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


 


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 IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-12

Fits description. It is the best tool-less, tray-less drive bay I have ever seen. Hardware and mechanisms are solid. the fan moves air. It locks. The activity lights are great.  Great overall product.


 



 


 

PC CASE: XClio Touch 787 PC Case-2012-09-12

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.

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

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

This is a great way to save space. I have mine mounted is a 3U server case. Works great for me. This is the best way to add raid to smaller cases. Nice design.  Compact size, versatility and construction are the best features. As compared to other similar units it is by far a more sturdy unit.


 


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

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.


PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-09-11

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-2012-09-11

 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.



 


 

XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

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

 


Holds four 2.5 drives, perfect for a RAID10 /. Looks like you can do the multi-path SAS on this, though I don"t use this technology in my workstation. The sleds for the drives are pretty nice construction. Aesthetically this thing is sharp looking. I haven"t really seen any other available 4 bay 5.25 inch containers that appear to be as good construction as this, so it"s kind of a no-brainer if you"re on the market for one.


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

4 2.5" drives in one 5.25" bay! It works great! Right now, I have 2 32 gig patriot ssd"s running in raid 0. Now, for those velociraptors . . . This was the perfect solution to my drive question.


 


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

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

Works, looks nice. Very convenient way to swap drives. Sata 3, disk activity lights function, tray less. Seem pretty reliable. These are really easy to set up.. I like them generally.


XClio IPC TR1135 (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack )-2012-09-11

 Easy install with no problems, drives slide in and out with no problem. Cost it great for this item. I didn"t get this for frequent swaps such as for backups. I just want the ability to swap OS disks without opening up the case. It seems to work perfectly well for that. For the price I like having the option of swapping disks on a whim.
