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.
