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

Comment:
It has really massive fans, so it starts lots of conversations. It does not cool properly. They took a 10 year old case, clapped it out with truly big fans, and sold it like a crazy. The whole front, plastic cover will come unclipped with the incredibly slightest of rearward stress (like pulling the case towards you to function on it). If you look in via the front fan grill, you will see a case which was NOT created for the genuinely massive fan, but a case developed for an 80mm fan. The side fan does NOT move air quite effectively...possibly it's the pitch of the blades, possibly it's the screen or grillwork, but this case was made to Look good and NOT Execute. Hold your hand behingd either fan when it's running on max...you'll see. Pleased bragging...very good luck cooling. Want to buy mine? I hate it. Bleah.

It is Quite quiet. It is so substantially quieter than I thought it would be that I'd bet the CPU fan inside is heard more than the external fans. It runs cool and is simple to build. I'm so content with it. None actually. It is 1 of the very best circumstances I've bought.

Lots of room inside, simple to function in. Will hold an ati 4870 x2. Lots of fans, with fantastic air flow. The front fan, and side fan when out significantly less than a year. The grate that goes beneath the cd/dvd won't remain in. When the front fan went out I e-mailed xclio, they got back with me rapidly, and finished receiving details they necessary. When that fan was in the mail, my side fan went out. I have e-maile Xclio many times about the side fan, with no reply. On their web-site they do not list a 360mm fan. So possibly it's no longer in production.

This case is definitely excellent. I construct custom computer's and have had the privelage of making use of this case multiple times. The large fans are very quiet, and I mean super quiet. Each GIANT fan comes with a speed adjuster and even with both fans maxed out it is very really quiet. The cooling is really properly. To see even superior results just get a 120mm and put it on the back for exhaust. This case is extremely easy to function with and there are certainly no cons about it. I have noticed men and women creating complaints about the case and I honestly don't know how you could complain about this item. One of the current posts complained since the pci holder or what ever you want to get in touch with it didn't firmly hold their 8800 in place. There is a simple answer of just placing a screw in it. Anytime I use a huge vga card or multiple pci cards I often just screw them in for additional protection and stability. Just a lot more pros. Really great airflow and keeps parts operating extremely cool. Somebody complained about the usb connections and I have had no dilemma whatsoever with the computers i've constructed. they aren't just single connections they are currently bundled up so you just make 1 uncomplicated plug in. The only ones not grouped with each other are the jumpers (power switch, energy led, hdd led and so on) which this is pretty typical. Case looks stunning, the led's on the fans are fantastic. The front of the case that opens is quite good. It is magnetic so you just open it up to access your cd/dvd drives and it closes extremely straightforward and stays securely shut. This case is rather light for the size too which shocked me. General this case is great and you would do your self a favor by purchasing it. NO way can somebody legitimately give this less than 5 eggs. Only factor this case doesn't do is make me a footlong from subway.

WOW....this case is the sweetest case I have ever owned!!! No joke..The huge fan is a beast for maintaining the mobo and my GeForce GX2 cool...This factor is worth the obtain!!! none It could have had less complicated access to the inside without having thumb screws...but WHO CARES!!! I really like this case..period.

Comment:
Excellent case. None right here. Evaluation as a side note to joe's mention of the fan connectors for the side fan; the case comes with a card that sits in a PCI slot with a variable fan speed handle. The fans' proprietary plugs go into that card rather than into the motherboard, and use regular molex connectors for power. This way you can adjust the fan speed making use of the dial on the card mounted in a PCI slot. The front fan's speed control is on the bulge on the side of the case rather than using that card.

Definitely, the case appears awesome. Really roomy for the most element. Tool-significantly less drive installation is quite handy. So far it appears to maintain my system cool. The significant issue with this case is that the guidelines are completely terrible. Figuring out how to install HDD and Combo Drive making use of tool-significantly less installation can be difficult since the directions are worthless, but it's a breeze when you figure it out. I wouldn't suggest this case if you are trying to run 3-Way SLI with doublewide cards or if you have a extremely huge CPU heatsink you want to use. I purchased a CoolMaster V8 and was unable to use it simply because of the substantial side fan.The purpose I wouldn't recomment this for 3-Way SLI is due to the fact two of the case fans have speed controls whose knobs are positioned in the expansion slots. They take up one expansion slot each. Amongst my two GTX 260s and the two fan speed knobs, I only have a single expansion slot left. You could make it work, but you'd have to leave one or both of your fan handle knobs inside of the case, which would make access inconvenient.

It has enough cooling energy for something you can put in it. It has great stock lighting. Good massive case, acrylic side panel is awesome. 360mm side fan is so massive that you can't see inside the case.

I have been so pleased with this case I can not recommend it enough. This case gives plenty of area to operate with and offers a good quantity of air flow. Tool-significantly less feature for installation is incredible. I love the blue LEDs as nicely. Make positive you set up an exhaust fan on the back 鲸mm). Overall, a single of the greatest cases I have ever applied. Lots of fans = lots of dust. Clean it out after a week (or minimal after a month).1 LED was dead when I got it... but it started operating right after I set every little thing up. Incredibly confusing. PCI slots are an individual a pain, especially when installing a GTX 280. I had to do some bending to get it to fit in there, but it worked.If you want to place an aftermarket CPU heatsink in here, the largest that fits is a Zalman 9700 (by a few milimeters).

Case is very large, I have a lot of to fit in there and it worked out good. Great airflow more than the HDD's(I have 5) The side fan tends to make a modest clicking noise when turned up and the plastic on that fan on the inside hits up against any serious cpu fans. No audio plugs is kinda annoying but minor. Overall a fantastic case. I spend a lot of time building comps for myself and other people and at work. Immediately after making use of this I am surprised at the space and excellent space for cabling. I have built with just about each significant brand and this may not be as thick or weighted as some others, but it has great room and great design and style to a builder. Surprised for an unknown brand with a good value(I got it for 80) to have no odd catches on the inside.

Nice and substantial, cool LED's (the front door lights up with the logo), just overall effectively developed. Big fans present quite good cooling. The tool-much less hdd/cd drive slots are quite nifty, just general an impressive case. Most of these issues are minor, but:-front fan is a bit wobbly at higher speeds and tends to make some noise.-I don't know what they're called, but there is a locking mechanism for the brackets in back (the ones exactly where graphics card and sound card may go). The locking mechanism is there so you don't need screws, nonetheless my graphics card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 280)-The manual could be superior written by a five year old, but that's standard of most manuals. I picked this case more than the a380bk due to the fact it had totally free shipping, which produced it only 10 bucks far more than the a380bk. I have clearly under no circumstances seen or attempted the a380bk, but you might take into account it simply because the only difference is fewer fans, and you may well save some income. This was also my 1st computer system ever constructed.And lastly, the giant jet engine-esque thing does not let you to put it on its side. This is not a con even though due to the fact A) The jet engine point appears so awesome that it would be worth any amount of trouble with, and B) the box it came in had foam pieces that I was in a position to rest it on with no dilemma.

This case is by far the very best case I have ever employed!!! Perfect for any gamer, normally eliminates the water cooling issue. NONE AT ALL

I purchased three of these so far and they all happy me. The case is lighter then my prior smaller sized case. The really hard drive bay have COPPER leading cover which assists to cool down the tough drives in the intense summer heat. The case delivers you with some screws just in case the mother board manufacturer decided to go cheap on you (which was the case for me). Appreance of this case tends to make the owner really feel like a major BOSS, so watch out!!! The front panel does not close correctly. You will have to open it and move the wire a bit then close as considerably as you can, then there is a screw hole where you can just screw the front panel to the metal case instead or relaying on the snapping program.If you hear the fan hitting one thing then it is the blue lights. Just turn off the laptop and slightly bend the light ten degree towards the opposite side of the fan. Don't worry about breaking the light, they can bend up to 40 degree quickly and the metal is a tiny flexible. I you do not connect the fan speed manage wire to the fans then the fan at the prime and on the side panel will not perform but the lights will. When are about to install a motherboard, do not open the other side panel (side with no fan) if you are strategy to lay it down flat on the ground. This is mainly because if you do then, if you drag the case or move the case then you may well break the front panel because its circular at the bottom. The case can be so quiet that you may possibly not even notice that there is a computer in this room. I wish there was light switch so I can turn off the light creating my ninja pc go total stealth. Get the L shape SATA wires so it will not stick out of the really hard drive bay producing you case look profession. Lucky I got those wires from my Mother board. If you use a large video card (takes two slots) then you Have to use and screw to correctly secure the video card to the case, rather of making use of the snap in lock program. That snap in lock is for the men and women who have integrated video card which I see a lot these days.I use this case for my server so I can set it and neglect it and not worry about sound or heat problem.

Large fans, all quite quiet. Slick searching. Keeps things chill. The screwless mechanism that holds down expansion cards doesn't fit appropriate with larger video cards. I'm utilizing an MSI nVidia GTX 260, and there's no area for the clamp to come all the way down mainly because of the design of the card (so the case is not totally to blame clearly). Personally, I would have preferred that they just not include that feature and use old fashioned screws. That's the only con I have for this issue. Gorgeous case, really quiet (not one hundred% silent), and lots of area inside for several expansion cards. Properly worth the buy.

It's so lovely, and cool. Runs a temp in the mid 30's and is extremely quiet about it. None.

This desktop case is everything I could have wanted and a lot more. I run two GTX260s in SLI with an AMD Phenom 9600 x4 and my core temperatures generally report below 35 Celsius. I sort of tilted my fan blades so that they would kick in a lot more air, well worth it. Tiny bit difficult for cable management. At times, it is kind of hard to decipher which fan cables go where, but it does not take away from the all round rating of this case.

Enormous interior volume. Simple to function in and wonderful placement. The HDD Case holder are simple as pie to use and really basic and screwless :) 1 fan was DOA, will be contacting manufactuer to see if they can send out replacement, other than that, with only three fans operating, its still a cool case---temperature smart. Bright, and quiet, have my Asus monitor up, keeps every thing cool...haven't pushed it too difficult but, but will soon and expect it to be the very same.

Major case, looks cool, lots of fans, great air-flow, easy HDD access, lots of bays, pretty decent cable management. -Heavy-360mm fan got in the way of my Dark Knight Heatsink so I took it out.-Collects dust Incredibly rapid.-Front 250mm fan is getting old and gets stuck. This began happening at about 1.25 yr. Correct now its spinning, but producing a clicking sound. When I get the time I'm going to take the front panel off and try to clean it out superior and see if I can't get some lubricate in there.- No front audio ports.... which I didn't believe was going to be a huge deal when I got it. But I really underrated the convenience issue. Also I've been having a challenging time locating good 3rd celebration DVD bay front audio accessories. SO I ultimately just gave up. For the most component this has been a solid case. On the other hand, I wouldn't count of the fans operating forever and as a result wouldn't count on them to cool your components. Make confident you have quality heatsinks, and element fans.Also I do not see ports on this case that would support an external radiator if you ever wanted to go that route.

This assessment is for these who have a knocking sound when the fans start up (see Other thoughts). See other thoughts. If you have a knocking sound when the front fan starts up, check the LEDs behind the fan blades. They from time to time get bent in too far and hit the fan blades at startup. Just bend them out slightly for an simple fix.
