Anyone use an XCLIO case?

[morkus64]

I'm thinking of getting this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811103006

80 CFM (says newegg, xclio says 100cfm) ~29dBA (says newegg, xclio says 24)

systemcooling reviewed another of their cases with the giant 25cm fan and liked it, but i'm just a little wary cause i've never heard of xclio

Their earlier models were a bit riced for my taste, but that one looks nice and conservative. But I don't see the toolless drive locks in the baggie of parts even though all the bays seem to be set up for them. 'Twould be good to inquire about them.
. The metal is thin at 0.6mm, I don't buy anything for myself with chassis metal thinner than 0.8mm.

If it's just for the fan, have a look at the Aerocool ExtremEngine 3T. A bit more 'riced' but includes a 14 cm fan aswell as a 25cm fan, and a built in 3fan controller, so you can run that huge 25cm at less than the XClios 30db straight out the box.

Ewww... that thing is over twice the price and is HIDEOUS!

but thanks for letting me know there are a few others with the 25cm fan

XClio either is a division of Meridian or Meridian changed its name to XClio. They have been around a couple of years now. Their first batch of PSUs were excellent as they had active PFC. The later batches are still decent but lack aPFC. All their PSUs thus far have been OEM from Channel Well.

I'm going to be building a system with that case in about a week or so for a friend. I'll let ya know how it works out.

Thanks, i'd appreciate that... I wound up going with a centurion 5, but if you have good experiences, i may use one of these for my next build

Got it, built it, love it. hehe I really like this case, and UPS managed to only put a TINY dent in it... alot better than most cases they deilver. looks very nice, and it's quiet. My vid card fan is the loudest thing when it ramps up to full speed.
