Xion Solaris Black ATX MID-TOWER Case 4X5.25 1X3.5 5X3.5INT 450W W/ Green 80MM LED Fan & Window

Comment:
I got this case before I went to school in August because I had to build a new one since the computer I had gotten for high school graduation was seriously outdated and my school's network wouldn't support it. This case is really nice. The fans cool my system really well and the green LEDs give the case a nice look. The whole cooling system usually keeps my cpu at around 29C idle, and between 30-40 while gaming.

This is a great case, first off it is very roomy, and the power supply has plenty of jucie for the now and then gamer. Both fans work great and are very quiet. The two problems that I had were the hidden drives, the cd drive kept getting caught, and there is not mobo tray, so it makes it a little more difficult to install.

nice case for office or home work,but as far as gaming this case sux not enough space for cooling not enough airflow

This is a really neat case. True, it is not quite the quality of a $100.00 case, but I was impressed with the overall quality. The case was well packaged with a protective film on both outside and inside of the clear side. The CD/DVD door is really trick. They open easily, but closing takes a little gentle effort. The PS works well and now has been running for three days solid. All in all, a very nice looking case with lots of pizzaz. Thanks Tiger

Great case. I got it for my mid-range gaming rig. The Biostar TP45 HP mounts nicely in the case. Much room is still available in the case. Good quality, although it is not the best for an expensive rig. Good cooling. I replaced the PSU with the XION Simple Power, which I recommend doing for gaming systems. Good quality. The CD ''bay'' door sticks, but overall it is not an issue. Great case, better value.

very nice case for the casual gamer.this case isnt designed to be moved around alot or fiddled with, its built to be put together and to be left alone. some things u might wanna know before buying, PSU supports all motherboard pin types, PSU only comes with 3 default power cables and 1 sata. so if u have a video card that requires a 6pin connection, u need to use 2 of the default cables, which leaves u with only 1 default , and 1 sata, if u have more then 1 hard drive or more then 1 disk drive , i sudgest buying a splitter like i have. other then that its awsome, keeps everything nice and cool.

I had no problem with this case except the drive doors didn't want to stay on until I put drives in them. As far as quality ? I use pc's as a club DJ and this one is sturdy and light weight. The led lighting is great and it's very easy to set up your motherboard in. And the power suppy has more than enough wattage for what I use it for. And I do have a lot connected to it. I wanted something a little flashy for in the clubs I work at and this was perfect.. I added led memory sticks and and led exhaust fan too.. REALLY SHARP !! Also, the SATA HD's fit in the slots better but, you can use EDIE HD's all you have to do is seperate them by an extra slot. I like this case so much I am ordering another one tonight for an over crammed Vista Ultamate pc I have at home. I'd definately tell others to buy it. And the price ?? You get the case, power supply and the fans for what you'd normally spend for a power supply alone... Thanks, DjRoY

I love the window a lot. it lets me see how much dust will be accumulating over time and if any of the LED's burn out. The LED's are bright as hell! There isnt a way to turn them down as far as I know but it would have been nice. The price point cant be beat though. The case inside is a bit cramped if you have a large heatsink and video card but only at those areas. The fans they come with are a bit noisy but could be corrected with a couple rubber/silicon boots in place of the screws. Last the PSU sucks big time. Get your own aftermarket one and you will avoid any headaches. This review was modfied by poster @ 09-09-08 03:21 PM

This is a pretty Box. But if you're serious about what goes inside and you don't want be responsible for redesigning the interior of your brand new enclosure (which by the way voids the warranty) then get a better box. Got the box because it was pretty and that's it. Didn't realize would be having to redesign drive bays to accept standard 3.5'' Maxtor SATA hdd. (fortunately the casing is super flimsy) So, pretty box, disappointing quality.

The cover that goes over the DVD/CD drives didn't work properly with my Liteon DVD drive, I have to press the button, wait for it to hit the door then pull the door down manually before the tray can come out completely. It also gets a bit stuck when the tray goes back in.This case looks good enough for the price, and if your needs aren't very high, the power supply will be good enough for you.

If you're looking to put a little spark into your computers look, this is great! I have had it for almost 2 years now and no problems whatsoever:)I guess you could say the panels are a bit flimsy but unless your gonna drop your pc a couple of times its totally fine! I only gave it a 4 on quality because when you push the second button for cd drives in, it will stick inside... but thats my mistake:)(you can fix it, just a pain)

Just what I was looking for great deal for the cash .Change over was pretty simple,and love the look very pleased.

I have had my case [computer] far a while. I really enjoy it. My son who built my computer said it was easy to install things into it. It looks Great and looking to years of use from it.

Comment:
The power supply is nothing special. Just like the guy above said there are no sata connectors. It is still a good temporary power supply.

Comment:
Seems pretty nice, has it flaws though. I dont like the way the hidden drive bay is. When the DVD drive is ejected, the door covers the eject button, making it difficult to press the button again to close the drive. Other then that I like it.

Comment:
Decent case for the money. PSU isn't the greatest, but fine for what I'm doing. No cord for PSU was supplied, luckily I had an old one laying around. Cheap, thin metal, especially around the I/O shield. Plenty of spots for components, and some cable management. Everything works but the HDD activity light, which I can deal with. Overall a decent case if you're on a budget. Would purchase again. I wish tiger stocked the blue lighted version though.

Comment:
I bought this case about a month ago, and it was a piece of cake to put together,(this is my 3rd build) I built it for my 6yr old so if it can handle the mistakes of that age that should tell you something. the only con I found is the inside where you mount the HDD and the DVD/CD Roms is a little thin, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy again, Thanks again Tiger

I have had this case for a little under a year now and it is a very good starter case for first time builders. Only thing bad about this case is that is only has one spot for a 120mm fan in the front, and none in the back, only an 80mm. The side fan blows the air out of the case when you first get it, I turned the fan around so cold air was going inside and added the Thermal take 120mm blue LED fan...cpu idles at about 35 degrees celcius and tops niceley at 44 degrees celcius. Very good buy, great look, tigerdirect shipped fast and will certainly buy again.

Comment:
The case is nice looking with the green LEDs. If you look for a tough case, don't buy this...But if you're a budget and you want a good looking case, then take it! The PSU don't have any sata, pci-e connector... it's a tad disappointing.

I just got this computer last night and I think its a joy to have. Its a great looken case to have. If it is your first time buiding computers then you will probbaly like this. There were no problems and is a easy computer to put together.

Comment:
I found this case and its powersupply to be a very good buy. I have been using the case for over a year now and there have been no problems other than the PS fan makes a whirring noise some days for a few minutes, then turns off. Overall I absolutely love the case, the PS has no issues with me, it fit everything i put into it. So if youre looking for a cheaper case that looks alright this one is the way to go.

Comment:
Great looking case, Looks WAY better then in the pictures. Internally, Not a great design. But its good. I mounted a 120mm fan where the XION logo is, and it looks even better, and it sucks in cold air and pushes it over the CPU and GPU and then blows it out the other fan over near the PSU and the side fan. 5 Out of 5

Comment:
The only problem I've had scince I bought this case is the headphone jack on the front stopped working. Other than that it works great.

Comment:
I just got done putting mt first pc together last night and this was the case I used.I have to say this is a nice case. The whole thing looks awesome and it was not to hard to put together. The only problem i ran into with this case was my cd drive would stick on the door, so i had to change that out with another one i had laying around. So overall i would rec amend this case.

Comment:
This case is awesome. I just got this today and its nice and light weight. Although the metal is a tad flimsy, its durable.The power supply doesn't have any sata connectors which is a bit disappointing, but its a cheap one anyway.
