PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel PC Case-2012-12-24

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 Touch 787 PC Case-2012-12-24

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 TR1135 (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack )-2012-09-13

 Own several of them. Everything works as advertised. Yes, it"s mostly plastic but so far it works (and looks) just fine. A bargain considering the price and very easy to use in comparison to traditional drawer racks. Use the included cable for the HDD LED.


 


XClio IPC TR1135 (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack )-2012-09-13

 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.


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

 THIS ITEM IS AWESOME! This is my 3rd server build in the last few years and this enclosure is by far the best I"ve used. Very professional looking and sturdy construction, no flimsy junk here. Easy install and setup was a no brainer. Installed two of these in my Antec 1200 case with ease, running 5 Hitachi 3tb SATA 3, 7200rpm drives and room for two more enclosures when needed.  I also like the two options for cooling fan control. Yea a different setup for the power and SATA cables would have been nice but I had absolutely no issues neatly installing wiring. I"m very pleased and will definitely buy more of these when I need them.


 


 


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

Solid construction. All ports worked. Fan is quiet. Very nice and solid construction. Outer case has a very solid feeling to it. The HD trays are well designed and feel okay . Perfect fit in 3 5.25" bays (I was worried looking at it that it would be really snug), but it fit perfect. Moves a lot of air through the HD bays (all bays), no way a HD is over heating in it (under normal circumstances). Over all, I have to say if anyone is looking for a nice hot swappable SATA/SAS container, this one is darn good.


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

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.


 



 


 

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


Fit, function, build quality are all excellent. Bought this to provide hard drive backup options in my WHS server.It works without a single issue.Highly recommended.I am running a 2.5 inch hard drive in the lower bay and two 3.5 inch,1TB drives in the upper bays with not a single hickup.Even though there is no claim to being able to support the 2.5 inch drive,it slides right in.


 

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 Multimedia HDMI Travel Kit-2012-09-12

Ultra thin HDMI cable provides better cable management and easy to carry. 


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

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

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!


PC CASE: XClio 320 PC Case-2012-09-12

XClio 320 PC Case
Preinstalled with two 12cm fans, the XCLIO 320 supports 6 optional fans and water cooling system for seamless cooling customization. To meet your extensive graphics processing demands, the XCLIO 320 offers sufficient space to support up to 340mm graphics card. Grab a valued case without breaking the bank.

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

2.5" and 3.5" hdd swap bays.  Sata III 6G. Works with ssds. Tray-less and screw-less, easy to install.


 


 

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

Quality build, easy access, uses ONE 5.25" bay for one 3.5" AND one 2.5" sata drive, on/off switch, vibration/noise isolated mount, only uses one power connector for both drives.


 


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.


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.


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

Well-built, much better than other 4-in-1 devices I"ve read about or seen.  Dual power plugs, SATA and SAS connectors...it has everything you should need.


PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel Advanced PC Case-2012-09-12

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.



 

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.

Power Supply XClio Goodpower 750W-2012-09-11

 XClio Goodpower 750W is something special. 80Plus Bronze. It is deathly quiet, so much so that I was worried it wasnt working when I first plugged it in to test it.  Quality is what I pay for when I buy components. Functionality and aesthetics are a close second. This power supply encompasses all of those with the power I needed. It"s sturdy, sexy and silent.  I would reccomend this to any one looking for a great power supply.


Power Supply XClio Goodpower 750W-2012-09-11

This is another great PSU from XClio.  XClio Goodpower 750W is super quiet. XClio is right up there with other top brands, but at a much more affordable price. DO NOT CHEAP OUT YOUR PSU, YOU WILL REGRET IT!! Maybe not now, or next week, but if you cheap out , you can kiss a few of your components goodbye as low quality PSU"s don"t just poop out, they fry other components just to spite you. 


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.


 


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

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

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.



 


 

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


 


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 IPC BP3435 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

Waited for this Hot-Swap Cage for awhile. Did my research and bought it. The Hot-Swap Cage looks nice, it doesnt look like the other cages thats plastic and looks cheap. I have my main drive with operating system locked in the cage. Computer sometimes wont wake up when left for awhile. I had to go to power options to set "put computer to sleep" to never.


XClio IPC BP3435 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

 Instant access to drives. In my HAF 932, you have to open both sides of the case just to remove a drive, FAIL.
The fan is on a sealed rear, guaranteeing the drives are cooled. It uses two pairs of SATA power connectors, four SATA data connectors. The fan is quiet. The lights on the front are pretty. A heavy file transfer lit it up, accessing a single file didn"t, running CrystalDiskInfo SMART status freeware did.The units slides in through the front of your case.


 


XClio IPC BP3435 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

This bay has a very high quality look and feel and the trayless mechanism works like a charm. Also, having lockable bays is definitely an added bonus. Works as advertised: seem solid, the SATA contacts are firm, and the lockable doors help secure the hard disks in place.


XClio IPC BP3435 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

I was looking for something like this for a long time and everything I saw was cheap plastic. This one is top of the line, solid aluminum. Yes, it is pricy but you pay for quality product. Easy to install and you get 4 drives cage in 3 bays space. SATA cables are lockable.


 


PC CASE: XClio Touch 320 PC case-2012-09-11

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 Touch 320 PC Case-2012-09-11

Pros: Can fit anything, fans are extremely quiet for their size, beautiful case, temperature control accurate.

Overall a nice case for a gamer who wants to sleep at night without a million LED"s beaming into their faces.


Cons: So far no Con"s


Other Thoughts: Comes with 1 year Xclio warrenty and from what I see they have their stuff together; a good company with nice, swanky computer cases
