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

Comment:
Has a lot of space and excellent design attributes. Didn't have any trouble with installing the motherboard. Gotta love the fans!! The case came in with a small harm from shipping that bent the rear frame a little creating it hard to snap the video cards and other PCI cards in spot working with the screwless technique. With a hammer and nicely placed hits, I unbent it adequate to perform. The case does not come with a case fan that hooks up to the motherboard. I would suggest obtaining one with your order.

massive. straightforward to work in. looks very good. fans are pretty quiet (not that i care) barely fits the coolermaster hyper n 520 cooler on my core i7, but the cpu idles in the low 20s and runs at low 30s playing crysis. the tooless drive bays operate nicely. came with plenty of standoffs and screws. goofy bracket on psu allows it to be mounted upright or inverted. two beefy rails on either side to help psu had a slight dent in the best of the case. door hinges on the incorrect side, tends to make it a bit annoying. leading usb ports are annoying, and on the wrong side so i stuck some much more front headers in the floppy bay. the back and side fans each and every have a separate knob on separate expansion slots - could have been combined into a single slot. im probably going to do this. i dont trust the screwless expansion slot bracket, i took it out and used screws. side fan doesnt usually spin or stay spinning unless the speed is above half. overall, its fantastic. a handful of minor annoyances. also, the side fan makes truly huge coolers impossible. the coolermaster hyper n 520 fits though.

I actually like this case, moves a bunch of air, and it is large adequate to host pretty much all of my hardware (running a big EVGA GTX 280). I was suprised how quiet the fans are, I had expected them to be a bit louder (even when maxed out). Side fan interferes with Noctua (NH-U12B) cooler (had to disable this fan, and each fans spliced into one molex, so I had to split them into two molex connectors), but not a major deal. It still moves a lot of air with the front fan and a 120mm exhaust fan. My Core i7 920 @ 4 ghz runs about 48c idle, 54c when gaming, program temp mid 50's c. Not the case's fault, just something to maintain in thoughts.

lots of fans to preserve method cool the fans are junk the quit operating following 6 mouths of getting the unit and the plastic is poor high quality the front face plate fell off due to the fact the use inexpensive plastic molded clip it had a high value tag for a low-cost item will never ever buy once again

Cooling, space, settings, design Only thing I would like to see on this case is filters for the fans. This case kicks a$$! I've built rather a couple of computers more than the years and this is the Very best case I have come across. I expected this thing to sound like a jet engine, but it's surprisingly quiet for it's size. I really feel my CPU cooler is louder than the big fan on the side of this case. The turn dials for the fan speeds are nice too. My personal computer runs 24ǝ. I do a lot of gaming, and I've by no means had an overheating problem considering that I've owned this case which has nearly been a year.

Comment:
very first and foremost, the 1 I purchased from newegg over a year ago did not come with a rear or best fan. But in spite of that point, this case is the ideal one particular I have ever owned. The front and side fan move a tremendous amount of air quite quietly, even on low. Much more than enough space for raid arrays or even a radbox if you wanted to go that route not actually a con per say, but you have to use your brain when piecing together your build. Initial, common sense must dictate that a screwless pci holder wont perform with dual slot vga's. Use screws. Second, you need to be able to tell from the photos that a 120mm cpu cooler wont fit with this fan design. My Ultima 90 fits perfectly This is a build created for air cooling and must be treated as such. My setup will differ from the individuals who are purchasing this actual case considering that this a single comes with a top mounted exhaust fan.Q6600ʃ.6ghz 1.344v at 33c idle and 59c full load Prime95I am using 2 [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200019]Rosewills[/url] and a [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999122]Thermaltake[/url] as my exhaust fans because they give terrific cooling with low noise. Lastly, I run all fans on their lowest setting

Comment:
it is huge, and has fantastic cable length, and heat dissipation no biggie, but the top 200mm fan would only illuminate as soon as it was all assembled.and with all this air flow, top rated heat dissipation is really needed to vent all that incoming air.no matter what i did ups has delivered at least 2 dozen packages from newegg to me, but they actually rough housed this 1, it had two huge dents, one in top and one in bottom, i dont care cause it's not on display, but PLEASE!!!! if u get this case, read all the critiques of damaged parts, just like my own and INSPECT IT Prior to THEY LEAVE YOUR Residencexclio was type enough to replace all broken parts that ups damaged with out a hassle

This case is huge, there is plenty of space for virtually anything any game Computer or workstation would need. Great cooling benefits. Comes with the rear 120mm fan. Overall solid construction. A lot of room between the motherboard and the sidepanel fan for even the largest heat sinks. three out of the four fans that come with the case are proprietary which would make them a pain in the rear to replace, no doubt. Hopefully they won't fail any time soon. It would be awesome if the motherboard tray came out on the other side of the case. It looks as if somebody had that in thoughts, but just decided against it in the last stages of design.

The case is large, with large fans. Effortless to fit every little thing. Air flow is fantastic and keeps every thing cool. The Power provide is on leading so the heat from it won't rise to the motherboard. It came with the rear fan and a speed adjuster with it. When I booted it up for the 1st time. The speed controller sparked and shorted out. Removed that and at full speed it's still ok, but is now my loudest fan. The massive side fan would not spin at all! Not to mention the truth that the fan manage wire that came with it was too brief to even reach the m/b. Don't program on using the side fan with no modding. The guide that comes with it is really poor. Given the weak electronics, and the truth that it isn't mentioned at all in the guide, I wonder if they knew what to tell users anyway. I still use the case and like it, but the causes listed was adequate for just an average case.

Comment:
Excellent case, Fans are awesome. The no screw method for DvD drive and Hard drive is good. The door with the fans gets a pain when making it because it's attached to the case. Front panel is to simply dis attached. I manage to do it on accident and didn't even know how to occurred. Fans are great night-lights/Hair drier (the exhausted only)

This case was great did the build in no time and was super quiet. Loved it as a gaming machine case. Then..................................................cons. The front fan started making noise in June and I disconnected it and almost everything was fine then 1 week ago the side fan caught on fire and would have burned my house down but thankfully I was there when the smoke alarm went off and I was able to use my fire ext. on it. Then I tried to get help from xclio and its useless mainly because they will not return emails or phone calls. Nonetheless employing case untill I deside on a different. I have a fan blowing thru open side of case. This is not neweggs fault and I will contiune to obtain from newegg. I have to wonder about xclio tho, their products are supposed to be leading notch. Their consumer support is non exsistent. So I will stay away from xclio untill they get better at consumer service.

Love it. Keeps my method truly cool. Brought all my temps down in between five-10c. Had lots of room and fit every thing great. Had to modify fan due to my CPU cooler but I knew that when I purchased it. Fans work outstanding and aren't annoying with getting to bright. Also fans are quiet, can only here it when I'm subsequent to it. would acquire an additional. none. Every little thing was perfect out of the box and all pieces worked fine.

Quite QUIETtons of space to move about in...has two crossbars near the best that the power supply sits on...(the crossbars span the length of the case.the rear fan location has fittings for three unique sizes of fans...not certain which sizes...havent checkedhas added vents on the suitable side and the best near the power supplyhas tons of holes for distinct size motherboardsin all probability far more...jus cant believe of any very significant...(not precisely a con but if you are tight for space then perhaps it is...although you shoulnt be buying a full tower case if you are tight on space...)unlike many full tower circumstances that have the whole front full of bays... the front only has 5 5.25" bays and 1 three.five" bay...the rest is taken up by the massive 25cm fanthe way that the swing door opens it to the left...so if you put your computer on your right side it may possibly get in the way occasionally...and if you put it on your left side you wont be in a position to appear into the case...the side 25cm fan does stick inwards towards the cpu really a couple of cm...so if you have a significant cooler you may want to check the height...(you could possibly fit about maybe 102mm fan in it) shipped Incredibly quickly...i bought it on December 29 2008 at like 11ᛆ at night... and it arrived at my door on December 31 sometime among 11ᚨ and 12ᚨnooncomes with an accessory box that can remain in the case...or can be taken out if far more internal 3.five" bays are neededadvertised as high gloss...not... the front is glossyish...but the side and leading are dull.the LEDs are really bright...could be a con could be a pro...wen i got it the swing door hinges were a little loose...but its probably easy to fix...all in all...i believe the pros outweigh the cons(although the cons section is longer...its jus cuz of my lengthy winded explanations...)

This case is beast. 1st off, you have the 360mm fan pushing air right on ur processor. Then u got the best 230mm or w/e it is and the back 120 blasting air out. The leading fan blats out heat from the PSU. Front 250 or w/e is sucking air in. Mother bord remain at 19C when room is cool!!!! Thats 69 degrees F. So content with this item. Huge side fan dosnt spin as quick as id like HEAVY! run it over with a humer and the hummer will be in the body shop....

Comment:
Massive. large case, for the cost. my ATX mobo looks like a microATX in this case. Superior for massive power supplies. Truly cool, if you crank the front, and side fans up to max. the leading fan it already powerful sufficient, cranking it up will get kinda noisy, recommend setting the side, and front fans to max, leading fan to low-med. nice screwless style, storage box for extra supplies. lots of LEDs. Looks cool. Side fan is actually weak at low. keep it at med-high, if you actually want to cool something. The knob for the front fan has to be turned towards the bottom to make the fan go faster. also suggest purchasing a 120mm fan for the back, so all the air getting sucked in from the front, and side can get out.

Nice case! Quite roomy! I have four tb drives mirrored down to 2 tb. This case keeps them cool. The varible speed fans genuinely support. The 4 Seagate Terabyte drives can create some heat. The all blue LED scheme is stunning in a dark room with the HD activity light flashing. Also the access panel opens nice and easy by swinging away from the box. Extremely diverse and handy.Despite the fact that this case is significant it is lightweight, properly-built and sturdy. I use this case for a server, it is a quite nice gaming box; plenty of room for a manage on top; I extremely advise this case. Fans can be a bit sensitive to alter. 1 fan has to be turned to more than half-way before rotation begins. All the airflow filters the air and catches all the dust so clean typically. The "tool-less" kit calls for tools to use. I like this case very much. I wish the harddrives were turned the other way and had space for eight drives.This case is big sufficient for it.

Incredibly roomy, surely sufficient space for all components. Looks incredibly cool, and fans work reasonably nicely, at least well enough to maintain the inside at a very good temp. Incredibly uncomplicated to install most components Minor complications with fan/LEDs, most most likely an problem with the wires that come attached, as well as a extremely limited instruction manual that could be expanded and PROOF-READ BY Someone WHO SPEAKS ENGLISH Possibly haha but over all a wonderful case Make positive to measure the space u intend to put the case, and check the size specs because it IS very huge

Comment:
Like numerous other people, I could not think how Large this case was. On top of the overall size. The specs called for 3 fans. Mine came with the three mentioned with an extra 120mm case fan installed on the rear vent! I did so considerably analysis on each and every component of this develop and decided to go with this case for the uncomplicated reason I would have plenty of room for almost everything I would ever need to have to put into it for the subsequent 10 years. I hope the fans last that long. SUPER QUIET!! I could not think how quiet it is. The front fans VSC is on the left side of the case for effortless access. Overall, to describe this case in one word.....Glacial! Cuz it's as cold as it is Massive! The clear side plastic had 1 little spider crack where one of the fan's bracket screws penetrate it. Not worth RMAing for. Also the side fans bracket protrudes into the case and with my Zalman 9700 mounted there is literally, only sufficient space to wiggle 1 piece of paper in between them. (I tried two but they would not fit.) I knew this from the other reviews but decided to take a chance and "by the skin of my teeth" it fit. Also, as stated in other critiques, the directions could be better written by my dog but who truly wants directions on how to plug in a few fans and a pwr led. **shrug** Perhaps mount the side fan on the outside of the case to enable much more room, as if one wants "more room" with this case. I dunno:P

a lot of room inside for things and does a good job of keeping factors cool, when it works. Looks impressive with a great "wow" factor I've had this case for 14 months and the massive 360MM fan has stopped working. This is on a secondary pc than hasn't seen numerous operating hours because I built it. Most likely much less than 150 hours total "on" time. I've contacted Xclio consumer support about obtaining a replacement fan. Will update this if and when I get a response

Comment:
This case is extremely satisfiying to me. The room is incredible and the Fans are crazy. I wish that the Fan controller would have been like on the offical website of the item www.xclio.com/products/products-case.htm. Overall i love the case i wouldnt be happier with it Not the same case. And i have the Cooler Master A1 and with the major fan on the side it dont fit. I have to mod the side of the case a little.

Im 16 and bought this for my system: AMD Phenom @ 2.6 ghz, 6bg ddr2, and Radeon HD 3870 X2. Purchaseing this case was a small iffy for me. Readinf some of the spes and all. I Enjoy THIS CASE, fit my video card and every thing nicely. The straightforward mounting rales for drives are a truly good feature and the fans function wonderful! 1. When I got it the face plate was a small scratched up.2. The 360mm fan didnt function... came out to be a broken wire on the controler. Straightforward enough fix.three. Fast mounts on the expansion cards.... does not function for 2 rail video card.four.... Global warming? Bought this when it was on sale on black friday... 贍

Truly Toolless style, fans, option for 5.25" drives or 3.five" HD's, coolness factor. My front fan makes a lot of noise when NOT at FULL speed - making the controller a moot point. A comedic source of relief although, as I usually hit the case with a foot or hand for the duration of boot-up/shut-down for a laugh - "Did you just kick your laptop or computer?" - "Yes, I did - it's like an old Tv." The side fan isn't as glorious as it seems. Doesn't move as considerably air as it need to.Minor gripe BUT - due to the shape of the case for the front fan the chassis doesn't lay flat when you turn it on its side. Great concept, nearly best style implementation. Make the side fan move much more air, make the sides of the case flat annnnnnd.....SOLD!

This case is created smartly, from the side mounted challenging drive bays to the greatest air cooling I have seen, and the factor is wisper quiet.Front fan cools the Hard drive array, side fan puts fresh air on all motherboard components, Blow hole fan keeps air moving about PSU and eliminates any dead spots.These fans are all huge and adjustable. The only con to Me was the Plexi window as I hate the appear of plexi so I modded Mine with 1mm Black steel Mesh.Makes it look twice as BA and makes the case neutral pressure at any fan speeds. Excellent Case...Get a 120mm fan for the rear, I drilled a hole in the rear near the top to move the Blow hole fan speed adjuster so it did not use a slot and was situated near the fan it controls.This case looks smokin if You replace the plexi window with mesh....(Plexi just makes a case look cheesy..)This case made Me throw away My 1200 Antec....I have twin zalman 9500's for CPU coolers and they fit fine as do the 2x geforce 295 coop's.100% SATA...I Use 1000 watt Kingwin Mach1 PSU (ABT-1000MA1S)and each and every time an individual See's it I have to get out My drool rag.

the case has some wonderful design concepts like a removeable storage for cables and screws, giant fans, far more giant fans, a best fan to dissipate rising heat, tough disk trays, and disk drive trays. the huge fan might be too huge and does not function as superior as it ought to. the case's overall style enables for very good cooling regardless of the massive fans functionality.
