XCLIO Windtunnel Fully Black Finish 1.0 mm SECC Chassis ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: • Large case, lots of space, great airflow
• Aesthetically pleasing

Cons: • Front panel is made with cheap plasic, it broke after a couple years.
• 250mm side fans last 2 years max. The bearings wear out and they start to make a lot of noise and eventually they just stop working altogether.
• Those fans cost around $30 a pop and they're harder to find these days.
• The case being so large is a pro, but also a con as it's rather cumbersome.

Other Thoughts: It was a great case at the time (I purchased it in 2007) but it's rather dated now and it's discontinued on newegg. I figured I would review it anyways!

Pros: Great tower for space and airing. Easily fits everything I need and the huge side fans admit a mountain of air into the tower. LEDS on the fans look awesome as well.

Cons: Some materials are very cheaply made. HDD racks, optical drive covers, and front cover all feel cheaply made. Let me be clear: they do not feel like they will break but they are made of plastic and aren't as nice as a metal front/covers would be.

Also, They fans can be VERY loud if the power cable hangs in the fan which it can do sometimes if its not secured properly.

Pros: This is quite a large case and has more than enough room for anything you might want to put in it. The two 250mm fans on the side provide ample cooling for all your components. The variable speed knobs for the fans are a nice touch but I don't find myself using them that much. I keep them turned all the way up.

Cons: There are a few issues that I have experienced with the case over the time that I have owned it. The screws holding the PCI/PCIe covers on are actually threaded backwards causing some confusion when installing my graphics card. Over time, the two 250mm fans have deteriorated and often squeak and hit up against the fan housing. The plastic removable hard drive mounts are very fragile as well. I have broken a few of the squeeze tabs off simply removing my hard drives with appropriate force.

Other Thoughts: Overall, this is a decent case. If you want a relatively cheap case with great cooling then this is the case for you. If you are looking for a rock solid case that will last you a long time, I suggest looking elsewhere.

Pros: Owned since '09

Well, the case is huge, no need for additional cooling. x2 HD's in redundant array inexpensive drive 0, x1 gpu nvid 200 series, i7.

Cons: The massive fans are still going strong, sleeve bearings are still alive. Overall build quality leaves something to be desired, cheap plastics are present.

Other Thoughts: Owned since '09

It has survived several moves but did sustain some damage while on a truck, it's aesthetic in nature.

Pros: I purchased this case because of the air flow potential and man does it meet that goal. I had never heard of Xclio when I purchased this. Everything stays cool. Love this case. Fans and LED's still going strong. At one point the fans began making a ticking noise, I trimmed the tip of the blades and that is no longer a problem. Tons of room in this thing. It has personality

Cons: My only beef with this case is not only does it have great cooling but it acts as a dust filter for your house and there is absolutely no cable management. If you purchase this you are going to be cleaning this out a lot...we live out in the country.

Other Thoughts: I just love this case, I purchased the silver one; now that I'm getting a bit more experienced I'm going to mod this case. Can't wait....first mod......filters...second...window.....third all fans are going red and I think I'm going to give vinyl sheeting a shot instead of painting. Nor sure yet...three fans across the top?.....maybe :)

Pros: I have had this case for almost 4 years, it might be dumb luck but the fans and LED STILL go as strong as the did when I first purchased the case. The little temp gauge is awesome.

Lots of room for hard drives, SSD's drives, everything. and Great airflow. I cannot stress that enough.

Cons: Big? now that I have had it for almost 4 years, it looks dated to me, but that may very much be so because I have had it for so long.

Other Thoughts: Over all amazing case, I am currently building another rig and will keep this in the closet just in case, as the fans and all the LED's still work!

Pros: I have had this case for over a year now, probably closer to two years. So while on looking for parts to make a build for my oldest son I thought I would check in and see the current price on this case.

I have to say, my case is still fine. The fans are still running fine as well as the LED's. My power button is slightly sticky but I attribute that to my youngest child and peanut butter versus the case it's self. The amount of space is phenomenal.

As far as the folks with bad fans, flimsy wiring, and non working LED's, perhaps I just got lucky. My wiring is standard wiring you would find in any brand case. The fans are quiet as well. I would buy this case again without hesitation.

My only disappointment is that it is not now priced as a $69 case.

Sure there are other brands out there but this one has worked out well for me and I will buy it again. I do not move my machine around much minus to the garage to use the 200 gallon air compressor to blow it out about every 6 months from the dust it collects. Build it, set it down and enjoy it.

Buy it.

Cons: None

Pros: 1. The Case is huge. Has space for all of my HDD's and Optical drives.

2. Its a great help in keeping my rig cool. I almost dont need any extra fans.

Cons: The fans on the side stopped working properly after about 3 months. They would stop spinning when turned all the way down and then they would catch on the side of the case. The wires that connect to the motherboard feel cheep and with the location are very hard to hide in the case.

Other Thoughts: I bought this case with high expectations and I was quickly let down. The reason I waited so long to get a new one was becasue I wanted a case with USB 3.0 support. I will be trashing this case as soon as I save up a couple of dollars. It is truly an average case and for the price I expected more than just average.

Pros: The system is designed for a great cooling arrangment with a mostly metal case.

Cons: The side fans have cheap wiring system which failed shortly after purchase.
The front face of the box is plastic and comes off easily and is difficult to reinstall.
I have been working with customer service for 4 months to get replacement fan switches and fans. They want to charge me $10 for shipping even though the product is covered under warrantee.

Other Thoughts: Save your money for another product. You don't want to deal with an out-of-country customer service which does not follow through with warratee coverages

Pros: Great air flow for the price, The big ol fans on the side move a fair amount of air and are very quiet. I also appreciate that each of the big fans have there own on/off button as well as a speed adjustment knob so you can make it juuust right! Lots of room inside for cables and over sized heat sinks.

Cons: The power cord that powers the big ol fans has enough slack that it can get in the way of the fan so make sure to really tuck it in there.

Other Thoughts: After installing all my components, the rig is heavy. Defiantly not a mobile, LAN party-able, case. It would probably be best suited as a server case?
