PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-25

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.

 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.

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.

PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel PC Case-2012-07-25

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-2012-07-25

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. 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.



 

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-25

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-2012-07-25

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-2012-07-25

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-2012-07-25

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.

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-24

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 A380BK PC Case-2012-07-24

Pros: I"ve had this case for about 6-7 months now and I couldn"t be happier with it. Massive, whisper quiet fans keep this huge case very cool. If not for my CPU fan, I would barely hear anything at all. The rail system makes it easy to add or remove drives. Just snap the rails to the side of the HD or disk drive and it slides right in. 7 expansion slots on the back panel give you plenty of room for your graphics cards and more.


Other Thoughts: Make sure your cables are long enough. It can be quite a stretch to go from the top 5.25" bay to the connectors on your motherboard depending on where they are on the board.



 

PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel Advanced PC Case-2012-07-24

Pros: HUGE! You can fit anything you want in this baby and it will still have plenty of room. Sleek design and the cooling is beyond superb. One of the best cases you can get!


Cons: None so far!


Other Thoughts: Only reason to not get this case would be because its big, but then again thats the whole point.

This case is an amazing mid tower for the price. Everything in my system stay cool and was not cramped. I"ve had it for about 1 year and half now and it still holds up great. This is a great looking case which is a lot cheaper now than it was when I bought it. It features 3 fans , which are LED. The case is simple in design but very sleek. My case is ice cool all the time and hasn"t overheated once. It is definitely the best case you can buy for this price range; I wouldn"t hesitate to recommend it to anyone building their  PC.

Plenty of room for everything that I had to slam in this beast looking case.



PC CASE: XClio Touch 787 PC Case-2012-07-23

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 Touch 787 PC Case-2012-07-23

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.

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-2012-07-23

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.

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.

Blue lights on all fans if your in to cool blue! You can not do better for the price!


PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-22

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-2012-07-22

Looks like a mini server and could be one with all the available hd bays. great air flow. Lighted fans and the 4 corner blue led power/hd indicators are very cool on the all black mesh case. Bottom mount psu. Predrilled for h2o pipes. Enough room behind mobo to route cables for very clean build. filtered intakes. No sharp edges. Absolutely love it. Fans move mucho air, wires were long enough, connections were no brainers and the case got a positve review from my wife who sees computers as no different than any other tool.

This had the most desired attributes for the price, even though i don"t know what half of them do really. But its working great.
