PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-09-13

 This is a very good case with 4 fans (5 if you add one to the back), It keeps everything cool with its very good airflow, This thing does better then some of the expensive branded cases out there that cost over 150$ and have bad airflow. For this great price you just can"t go wrong. Really good case.  If your building a budget PC and don"t want to mnake it top notch and want your videos cards and everything else to stay cool, You will be crazy not to own one of these trust me guys.



 


 

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-09-13


 


The HDD modular system vertical stacking makes running lots of drives easy. I run 8 drives with all interfaces so wire managment was hard. I also have a long video card and moved my top HDD tray to second from the top(under the DVD writer). I had to switch the bottom and top front fans to get the fans aligned over the HDD tray moved up. Just barely enough wiggle room . The ability to move that tray, have the PS on the bottom and the absolute best air flow possible though there are some limitations. The fan controls on top of the unit work beautifully. Both the top and the side fans also have on/off switches on the outside of the case. Not "too thin" metal. The tool less design is great, easy to work with for the most part. By far one of the best cases I have ever bought! Just the airflow alone is worth it"s weight in gold. The openeings at the back are handy if you do liquid cooling. not built too thin. Just right and awesome for the prices.


 

IPC XClio SS014 Backplane-2012-09-13

Pros: Good design and construction. Everything comes apart with screws for customization. Plenty of airflow around HDDs.


Cons: Activity light is too dim. Fans are loud.


Other Thoughts: I only have 7200rpm drives and have power management enabled therefore I was able to open and disable both fans without any side effects. The case itself gets plenty of airflow over the disks without the fans at all. It would have gotten 5 stars if the fans were silent. I haven"t tried it but suspect that 10k drives would work just fine without the fans as well as long as they"re not spinning 24x7.




 

XClio 256 Color Fan-2012-09-13


Pros: Really nice concept, it delivers a lot of air without any noise. I used a dremel to


cut a circle on the plexiglass side of an old case so cool down by wife"s pc which was


running a 65°C. After installing this and set it to blow down the GPU and motherboard,


temps are not 35°C.


Other Thoughts: To get the color you want, you have to wait until it cycles throught he


different colors (it takes around 15 secodns to go through all of them). Once the leds


change to the color you want, hit the button to make the cycle stop.


Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 750w-2012-09-13


XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 750W is very quiet. My case fans were louder. I can"t hear the fan spinning. It has more than sufficient power for my quad core and 2 x 5870 video cards.  Eliminated the weird squeal that my previous PS had with some games. Also very energy efficient. I used to have to have two computers to run my office applications, now I have just one with this power supply. Now my office averages 2-3 degrees cooler than it used to. That"s how much difference one of these 80plus gold rated can make.


Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 1000w-2012-09-13


My test meter says the XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 1000W does its job admirably. Its looks good and installs easily in my ASUS P8P67 Deluxe. The kit has mega amounts of cables. So, there are no worries about not having a needed cable. Absolutely incredible packaging. Durable construction. Obvious attention to detail shows in the finished product. Heavy gauge power cord. The best connectors I have ever seen on a power supply, and plenty of them. Included nylon pouch for unused cables is nice, not cheap or thin. And the most important thing: 80 plus gold!

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-09-12

This case is big enough to accommodate my GTX 260 video card (after re-positioning the Smart HDD modular system cages) and my Scythe Mugen 2 B CPU cooler (after removing the 18 cm side fan). The fit and finish of the case is good. The front door fits well.

XClio IPC BP3435 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-12

Solid construction. All ports worked. Fan is quiet. Very nice and solid construction. Outer case has a very solid feeling to it. The HD trays are well designed and feel okay . Perfect fit in 3 5.25" bays (I was worried looking at it that it would be really snug), but it fit perfect. Moves a lot of air through the HD bays (all bays), no way a HD is over heating in it (under normal circumstances). Over all, I have to say if anyone is looking for a nice hot swappable SATA/SAS container, this one is darn good.


XClio IPC BP3435 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-12

Waited for this Hot-Swap Cage for awhile. Did my research and bought it. The Hot-Swap Cage looks nice, it doesnt look like the other cages thats plastic and looks cheap. I have my main drive with operating system locked in the cage. Computer sometimes wont wake up when left for awhile. I had to go to power options to set "put computer to sleep" to never.

XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-12


Fit, function, build quality are all excellent. Bought this to provide hard drive backup options in my WHS server.It works without a single issue.Highly recommended.I am running a 2.5 inch hard drive in the lower bay and two 3.5 inch,1TB drives in the upper bays with not a single hickup.Even though there is no claim to being able to support the 2.5 inch drive,it slides right in.


 

XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-12

 Fits 4 2.5" SAS/SATA hard drives into a single 5.25" drive bay slot. Looks good -- reminds me of the professional look of Compaq server products (black cage, dark red/maroon release tabs). Very easy to setup and install. Gets a lot of "street cred" when your computer buddies ask "What"s that?" and you tell them it"s a 1TB RAID5 array in a single 5.25" slot :)


 


 

XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-12

I love the manufacturing of this bay. It is quite sturdy and very appealing to the eye. The bays when loaded feel very tight in there place. The fan pushes an extreme amount of air. I installed this drive into an old Asus barebones I purchased here a while ago and it fit quite well. I paired this with a 3ware 3950 controller running SATA drives. Overall performance has been good.


XClio TR2535USB (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack with USB3.0 Hub )-2012-09-12

Really nice combination of features:
USB 3.0
3.5 and 2.5 bays
LED lights for each drive
no drive trays required
Everything works on it!


 


XClio IPC TR1135 (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack )-2012-09-12

 Easy way to temporarily add in a 3.5 SATA drive and way more useful that a blank slot. Has a locking mechinism. Connections are solid and drive works. Inexpensive, especially compare to most of the tray/trayless drive bays/racks. The installation is easy. Fit perfectly in my 5.25 slot. The size incomparability that happens to some people purchasing Thermaltake N0023SN does not happen to me. Design is decent, solid and smart. A drive can be plugged in/pulled out readily. Trayless really works!


XClio IPC TR1135 (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack )-2012-09-12

VERY easy to use, activity/power lights are just the right brightness, easy to use, lockable. Did I say it was easy to use? It is easy to use. It works well for swapping out hard drives. Hold the drives in nice and tight.


IPC XClio SS014 Backplane-2012-09-12

XClio IPC SS014 supports interface SAS/SATA, two low noise 40mm fan (DC 12V./0.25A.) that eliminate the heat rapidly, and two Molex 4 Pin connector (-5 V /12V) for power up the fans.

PC CASE: XClio Touch 787 PC Case-2012-09-11

XClio Touch 787 PC Case
While I would have liked to have seen a USB 3.0 20-pin connection on this case, at least we do still get USB 3.0 in the front I/O, even if it does take up one from the rear I/O to do so. There weren"t any real fit issues, but I must say these door panels are some of the tightest fitting panels I have seen in a while. It really took some force to remove the panel, and when re-installing it, I had to really force them back in place as well. The only real downside that I can speak of, and I better do it with the case off, is the noise level of these included fans. I thought the Touch 320 was a bit loud for my tastes, double the fans, and you can imagine things don"t get any quieter. While the fan speed is adjustable, on high speed, the noise is too much for me to personally like it. If I were to use this chassis the fans wouldn"t make it past low speed. Even then the ten included fans offer plenty of air at low speeds to sufficiently cool the interior and my components.


 

PC CASE: XClio Touch 787 PC Case-2012-09-11

XClio Touch 787 PC Case
The touch series cases have now not only added simplicity with the touch controls for the power of the PC, the LED lighting, power of the fans, three various speeds, silencing the beep, and even locking the control panel are all just as easy as a soft touch for a second on the appropriate button. At first, what I thought was just going to be a larger rendition of the 320 we just looked at, I am pleasantly surprised to see that the ideas and implementation of those ideas are still coming from Xclio as they keep pace with other solutions, just in a different manner. Most cases in this price range offer some sort of removable hard drive racks, and Xclio does too. When the drive racks are in place, even then the orientation of the drives is just so natural to allow airflow and ease of access to then drives with just the release of a clip.

XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-09-11

 Overall a good deal. Installation and use are straight forward. Solid construction. No problems as of yet. Good price and as usual very good delivery on NewEgg"s part. Diffidently a good investment as compared to other removable drive enclosures.

XClio Touch 787 PC Case
Both the noise levels and the limited availability are going to affect the final score, but they can always improve the amount of stock available for the Touch 787 over time, so don"t take that hit to the score into effect really. What we are left with, bottom line, is a super tower chassis that has a lot of the latest in features while adding a few new ones, packaging it in an aggressive looking facade, and delivering this chassis at a respectable price point. I have to say that Xclio offers everything basic and advanced users would want, and with the Newegg.com listing of $159.99, the Xclio Touch 787 is enough case to stand tall in a segment of cases that is heavily populated already.

Installs quickly into Storm Sniper case. Western Digital 1TB drive install in less than 5 minutes. Initialize and quick format hdd, backup 50 GB data in less than 30 minutes. Looks beautiful in the case, works like a dream. Can"t wait to fill up the remaining two hdd slots!


XClio IPC BP2335 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

I have 2x WD 500g in RAID0 as a DATA drive and 1x 2Tb Hitachi (7200rpm) a backup storage (Acronis images, ISO"s, etc). The drives hot swap easily, handle snaps positively in place ensuring a tight connection. Additionally, the length is shorter than many other similar devices. No problem with bumping into the mobo power connector or long video. My Vantec caddy is too long!

Excellent air management keeps the computer and video card very cool. Plenty of room for all my components. Looks pretty sharp, nice sleek design.  I purchased a new case to take care of some thermal problems I was having with my old case. This NightHawk does an excellent job of performing this task. Lovely case. The tool-less design is as promised.
