XCLIO A380PLUS-BK Fully Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window

Comment:
1) The case comes default with 3 fans, all of which function nicely and enable circulate air.two) The case makes use of typical sense to suck air out from the top rated alternatively of the bottom (hot air rises).3) There are 5 five.25" slots (allowing for numerous disk drives, fan controllers, card readers, and so fourth)four) There are eight three.5" slotsfive) The top rated and side fan have removable speed adjuster pieces, which install into the back in case you come about to desire such a function but would prefer not to acquire a single. six) 3.five" and 5.25" external drive covers snap in and can be placed back on later in case a drive breaks and one particular decides to remove it kind the case. 7) Two of the fans come with filters enabling for less difficult dust handle.8) The case utilizes a clamp system for PCI based cards, and if one decides to not use all the slots or location back a slot the metal protector piece can be placed back into the case.9) The case did not come with a rear motherboard cover, hence no be concerned about taking i 1) XClio decided it would be a model notion to introduce a method in which the drives are inserted onto clips to which then go into the slot to be securely held in, rather than by just making use of screws (as absolutely everyone else does) These clips are particularly annoying to use and though they appear to function simply for hard drive insertion, when attempting to location in drives that utilize the front of the case it appears almost impossible to do so devoid of hours of tedious work. 2) This clip method does not completely assistance devices in which do not extend the whole 5.75" into the case, hence if the device is shorter and say only extends 1 to two inches into the case it will not keep in securely working with the clamps (had to use electrical tape in order to securely fasten the device into the case)three) The front fan has a built in fan control speed switch on it, as a result when utilizing a custom fan/temperature controller Cons continue under! 1 has to turn the fan speed unto max and then reduce it down working with the installed device in order to be able to obtain all fields of fan power. (This switch can very easily roll to diverse speedsƞ)The motherboard assistance bracket goes across an complete side of the case, creating the installation of drives and filtering of wires a slightly much more hard method.All round, this is an intriguing case. It delivers some very good notion's while it appears that they were not entirely believed out. The case stands powerful, ventilates air properly, and provides lots of area for setting up, and placing wires. Most of the cons with this device are my own individual complaints, and would not hold against this case when considering to buy an additional a single. (Just a handful of uncomplicated fixes)

Properly, for starters this is a very massive case. I got it delivered at my work and practically fainted at the sight of the box. Now right here is a list of the best characteristics that I located when putting together my complete create:-Enormous! Like my computer desk is small next to it. -Good LEDs, they are a very good color blue, and light the inside up nicely.-The dual side/front 25cm鴺mm) move air like a beast. I mean I am operating some pretty hot running hardware and they keep it nice and cool inside the case, even far better is that it moves so substantially air that it heats up my living area!-They 6 tough drive slots are incredibly handy in case you run RAID-You have 6 front slots, which for individuals with single function disk drives that is fantastic, you have enough slots for what you want. Even a floppy slot.General it is an extremely sturdy case. Properly these may not be cons but just out of order errors on my component.-Make sure you get your motherboard spacers in suitable and in just about every hole for your motherboard. I would get most then comprehend I missed a handful of, it is fairly hard to uncover these holes via your motherboard.-Your motherboard's back panel for the outputs in the back of the case could not be as flush as you will like. That annoyed me also, but practically nothing has happened so far, and anything connects to my motherboard fine.-The front mesh cover for the front fan was dented incredibly when I got it. I managed to get element of teh dent out, then noticed that the front fan and side fan have been spinning at different speeds, turns out the part of the dent I couldn't get out was rubbing on the fan and slowing it down. Had I not fix this by removing the complete front panel, the fan backing, the fan, and beating with a screwdriver, that would have burnt my fan motor,This is about all I can feel of wrong with the case. My bads&UPS Right here are my specs, and thoughts that I have this running at complete speed and beneath a massive load and the inside temp has but to get above 89F.-AMD 3.2Ghz Quad CPU-4Gb DDR3 1600 RAM-640Gb 7200 RPM HDD-Nvidea 9800GTX+, which be careul about cards about this size, hook up any connections near the card first, the card is actually close to the bottom of the case.Overall excellent case. Other than the dent in the front panel when I got it, it operates wonderful, tends to make like significantly less noise than an Xbox 360, and moves a lot more air. Holds everything good and tight.

Airflow is Unmatched. two Zalman 9500 CPU Coolers match no Challenge.Complete Mobo is Cooled and I Have a TYAN s2915 in this Puppy and if You Know Motherboards You Know the s2915 is Huge Ō Geforce 9800 gtx's match with enough space left to hold a tea party.This Case Appears Great, Everybody who See's it is Mesmerised by its Presence.This Case is Extremely Sturdy and properly Created.At Idle My CPU Temps Run about 1 Degree Below Ambient Temperature in the room.As a Matter of Truth, with the CPU Fans Disconnected the CPU's Run at 41C Degrees Idle.The Case is Quite A lot Absolutely Silent.Any Noise will Be From Addon's.This Case Should Have Been Named The B-two as Its Stealthy Looks and Silent Operation.I Would Buy this Case Once again. You will need to have to get a 120mm fan for the rear exhaust.The Side fan was Hitting the Fan Wire at Startup - Easy Repair.The Controller for the blowhole Fan was in a PCI Slot Cover, I Moved it to The Best Rear of the Case (Drilled a Hole).The Clips to Hold in any CD/DVD Drives are Yellow so I Painted them Black (Looks Substantially Far better).Would Look Far better With Mesh in the Side alternatively of Acrylic Window..(I Feel I will do This MOD). This is The Greatest Case on the Market for $$$$$$$.And Looks Much better than Practically any Case Period.Just Needs a Couple Touches to Make it Your Personal.This Case is a Full Tower so if Your Utilised to a Mid Tower then this will look Large.In Reality Its Slightly Larger than Most Full Towers.Most Peeps on here have half the brain of a Monkey and Can't Place a Screw in a Piece of Sheet Metal Straight, Considerably significantly less Peel a Banana.This Case is Top Notch for the Dollars, "Believe It" !

Quite large case. This can take almost something into its belly. Extremely terrible air ventilation. Case fans are purely for aesthetics. Barely can feel the air moving. No thoughts into the engineering style of the case. Very bad airflow. No inputs to place extra fans. I had to zip-tie fans into the chassis. I transferred into a Larger Air Flow case and my temperatures are significantly better.

Comment:
Outstanding case. Incredible, air flow, Fans aren't loud, fairly blue lights lol. Plenty of room to function in.Fan speed controle is nice to but I keep them on max any way. My only situation with this was the Manual was WORTHLESS. A couple items in it helped but over all it blew. Content with this case :)

lots of fans. lots of space. thumb screws for every little thing. everything fits snug. 1 fan doesn't operate because the controller that is supposed to adjust speed doesn't work. I am going to have to cut the wires, close the circuit, and just run it at complete speed.The fan that blows on to the motherboard does not function effectively with my radion 5870. I ended up putting my graphics card on the bottom of my motherboard so that it doesn't push the fan into the plastic on the outdoors of the case - excellent thing i had dual pci x16 instead of just a single.the fan on the front makes a weird knocking noise suitable when it begins up. i haven't been able to figure out exactly where it is coming from since i don't want to tare everything apart and danger damaging the fragile plastic they use on the front.thought i was going to break the plastic on the screwless style for the difficult drives when i was putting mine in. despite the fact that i have had a few troubles with this case, they didn't add up sufficient to price it all the way down to 3 eggs.

Comment:
Case has plenty of area, excellent when it comes to air flow. None.

Like i stated this case looks good, has alot of room. its gigantic.tooless set up was nice too. The fans that come with this point barely move any air it appears, i purchased a case from xclio with 2 side 180mm and 2 major 80mm fnas(the godspeed 2 i consider) and it pushes air greater. I'm gonna replace all the fans with more potent fans, they just don't seem to spin fast sufficient to make enough air, and if your running SLI theres no gpu cooling. I got two 9600gts and now im thinking of getting one more case cause there alwasy hot as hell as the slot fan i have down there just isn't cutting it, and that 360m fan barely pushes any air. nice hunting case, will definitely turn heads, but if your running SLI i recommend to get a case with better gpu coolin. Im hoping replace the fron and back and top fan with much better a lot more strong fans ill make the diffrence i genuinely don't want to buy another case. They really should've created those fans additional potent, expecially the360mm fan.

Looks fantastic, quiet fans, roomy, toolless installation. Built it out, turned it on, employed for about a week, then the side fan quit functioning. Contacted Clio and they shipped me a new side fan no cost, which was good. Machine has been on continuously for about 8 months given that then, and now the front fan has stopped functioning consistently (slows down, speeds up, quits entirely for half an hour at a time) and the rear exhaust fan has stopped functioning completely. Could possibly get new ones but why do I have to replace 8 month old fans?? Poor good quality. One particular other beef -- the side fan's power line combined with the exceptional way this case opens tends to make it a true pain to open and close the case, and to manage cable management. At first I loved this case, but the elements are shoddy and fail more than time. When fans fail they have power (leds on) but don't turn.

Big enough.Supports various form components.Lots of HDD bays. My first challenge was the case arrived damaged, the clips that held the front panel with each other are flimsy plastic and had been broken out of the box.The second difficulty was that the five.25" bay drive mounts didn't work appropriately, they didn't match around my DVD drive. It's not seriously that huge of a deal, even so, I had to discover a screw that would mount it.The third issue is about 3-5 months of utilizing this case a very typical dilemma (reported in many testimonials) happened: the metal grate that covers the 250mm fan was bent and started creating get in touch with with the fan. Once again, not that huge of an issue, just a hassle.My fourth concern was that the side panel 360mm fan frequently began turning off and on, eventually it stopped working absolutely. Even so, this nevertheless wasn't of substantially concern as the fan got in the way of my huge CPU heatsink.My third dilemma was that the front 250mm fan began to show the very same symptoms of my 360mm fan, and it failed. At this point I have to assume just about every fan w I would highly discourage any Xclio items due to the issues listed above. If you're obtaining this case just simply because it supports Micro-ATX and Regular-ATX I would suggest the Nvidia CM 690 by Cooler Master for sale on the Nvidia web page for ๪ presently.If you already have a Normal-ATX compatible motherboard I implore you to invest is a a lot more reputable case, like the Cosmos S, which I will be obtaining shortly due to this case failing.

Roomy case. Fans looked remarkable. Adequate room for everthing. Cool heat spreaders for the tough drive. Not that hefty. Fans quiet yet not silent. Came with the front pegs and clips broken off. Didn't understand this till i hooked up the PSU to try it out. Other then that a quite strong case. I gave this item a four egg due to the fact i asked newegg to replace it for me with a unique tower but now i have to wait one more two and a half weeks prior to i get my refund.

Effectively, a single excellent thing about this situation is the air flow. Good 240mm fan in the front assists alot, also there is a lot of space inside, adequate to match 2 GTX 280s in SLI. It's also fairly sturdy, made out of very good material. Ok, this is where it gets bad.-Sharp edges. was helping my buddy build, we all cut ourselves at least 5+ instances.-In all probability the most significant challenge was installing the CD drive. It literally took us 2 hours just to get it in. The style of possessing to place the drive on the two plastic rails is garbage. The drive just wouldn't go in all the way. We ultimately had to just hit it truly tricky and shove it in, and but it is nonetheless not totally secure. Kinda loose.

Comment:
Good large situation. Kinda cool hunting. Seems built well. No Headphone / Mic Jacks. Soon after getting I realized I don't like getting a door on the front. Plastic feet. I bought this swiftly due to the fact I had descent evaluations and looked cool and the special cost was nice. When I got it I realized I didn't like the placement of USB ports on the best ideal side and it had no headphone or mic jacks. I'll be receiving an Antec twelve hundred.

Pretty, spacious, quiet. HDD bay is really cool. The factor feels a small low-cost, but most scenarios do these days. The airflow isn't as excellent as you'd think it would be. This may well be a particular dilemma with my case, but the side fan stopped operating soon after a couple of months and the rear fan continually tends to make funny noises till I poke it with my finger.

Comment:
Stays cool and quiet, even at higher fan speed. Remarkable layout for all the drives. Lots of room to manage cables inside the case. Side fan is a bit deep, so taller heatsinks may possibly not perform for the case. Had to switch to a smaller sized fan to fit radiator to the back fan.

Comment:
Huge, desirable, lots of room. Looks cool. Card lever holder pops loose with finger pressure to rear. Useless feature. Could destroy mb shorting out components. I bypassed employing screws. NOISY SIDE FAN. Quite noisy. came with bent LEDs hitting fan. Corrected but Fan is just noisy. I would not acquire this case once again. fan motors extremely very low cost. Exactly where to get replacement fan ? who knows. Prob nowhere. Also poor high quality for price. Roll of the dice to get a excellent 1.

This case is massive, has a big number of major fans and a extremely intelligent layout. I was afraid that my CPU cooler wouldn't fit, but it did with at least an inch clearance. The screw-totally free back end PCI stuff is not seriously that excellent for me. Didn't mesh effectively with my EVGA 260 GTX. The fan speed controllers take up 2 of the back PCI slot holes and I can't get them out. Also two of the fans only perform if the speed controller is attached and the wires are so short that they just dont reach. I'll be modifying this quickly, extending the wires myself. I 'm running overclocked and never ever get over room temperature with a cutting edge rig full of higher energy gear. This case is amazing for cooling which is what I bought it for.

Comment:
Fluctuate nice hunting. Really. Huge. Huge is fantastic. Hate having to cram the parts in to make them fit. Just like other testimonials stated. The fans are junk. Side fan started out stalling after a month and now the rear fan is creating noise so I unpluged it. Nevertheless working with Xclio assistance to get replacements

Comment:
The case is wonderful, I utilized to have a mid tower which had no fans in it what so ever. The temps dropped a total 20 degrees C and I was in a position to get a considerably larger over clock. Esthetically this case looks excellent, the blue lights truly give off a great glow and I have no had one particular dilemma with it. I've also tested the speed controllers with paper on the fans just to see how important a difference the fans had on high and low and it is fairly important. Don't get me incorrect, low nevertheless pushes a lot of air, higher pushes enormous amounts.I've read a lot of unfavorable reviews on the enormous fan on the side. i don't know where they are coming from, that factor pushes a massive amount of air into the case. One particular of the motherboard screw holders didn't want to go into the case and stayed stuck. Took an hour to get it in appropriately. Not a big deal as I don't have any tools right here. With pliers it would have been in, in about three-four minutes.There is also a gap in the plastic beneath the front fan. All of the front fans air got pushed out there and not into the case. A tiny black electrical tape solved that and considering that it's under the case, it's not visible. Only a beast, huge, vibrant and certainly overkill but thats what tends to make it likable :P

Very good looking case. (but not as major as everybody seems to assume) The (x) 3 fans appear like they will do a great job. Plus, NewEgg sent along one more internal fan by XClio as a bonus/special. Quite roomy inside. There is a issue with this case in the course of shipment. The front cover that houses the major, front fan attaches to the matal case with thin plastic pins and tabs. Unfortunately, through shipment, if the package is bumped, the pins/tabs shear off.Individuals have also commented that the huge, side-fan intrudes into the case sufficient to avoid use of certain tall-ish CPU coolers. This is correct. XClio should offset this fan to the outdoors of the case, so as not to diminish interior space. A handy particular person with a Dremel and epoxy could also achieve this at house, but would not appear as great. And this case is all about in-your-face great looks. I also did not see any motherboard offset-bumpers in my shipment. The pins/tabs on the front panel require to be stronger, or the shipping wants better handling and/or packaging. I am awaiting my third unit. All had the same damage. If you are not in a hurry, and are prepared to gamble on possibly a lot of shipments/returns, than you at least know now up front!

Looks very outstanding... Has room for every thing to date...Straightforward to adjust person fans. Can\'t cool a serious program... The fan on the side is more for entertaining the exciting-ction.Huge fan broke after four months... Not substantially of a loss...Bought mine with their power provide bundle... Power supply shows indicators of droops in power with: Q9450 Yorkfield280 GTX4Gigs Domintor XMS2 Ramtwo DVD drives1 velocorator and 1 ATA 280gig HDDoes not show concerns with the second HD and DVD drive removed... Would not buy or recommend (Obviously)

Comment:
the whole case is massive and fits all the stuff i place into it. excellent for air flow.. easy installation of drives after looking at the manuals. great lights. good front door.. the side fan and top fan both require a different plugin for the fans to work. they have some type of two pin plug in that isnt on my motherboard.

Comment:
This case is Massive!!!! alot of airflowit kind of weird simply because i checked my room temp and it was 26c and speedfan mentioned my motherboard temp is 9c. i was like ???? is that even feasible. fan controller wasn't that effective. A single word. Brilliant!

Comment:
Keeps everything really cool, lots of space, straightforward installation. The side fan is flimsly constructed and had to bend a single of the fan blades so it would quit hitting itself. The feet could be regarded flimsly contructed as properly since a single broke inside minutes of ownership. Regardless of the few flaws the case is a superior purchase and I would advocate it to other people who have the room for it.

At the time I bought this situation I was also searching to get some thing to resolve my northbridge and southbridge temp problem. As at no load they exactly where sitting in between 87c-89c. Just before buying something for the chips i swapped out situations. This case dropped my n/b and s/b temps down to 57c with no load. This case is amazing! And the HDD cradles are pretty cool. At lower speeds the front fan makes noise other than that it is quiet. Just leave it on high and the noise is gone. I am impressed how quiet the situation is with such large fans.
