PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel PC Case-2012-12-24

XClio Windtunnel PC Case
Pros: I have owned this case for 3+ years now and that newegg is even still selling it is a testiment to the fact that case is worth it"s weight. Drive slots out the ying. And even more airflow then that. The set up is perfect for for gaming rigs the 250mm fans hit this thing right where it needs to to optimize cooling

Cons: It wasn"t this cheap when it 1st came out.

Other Thoughts: The top mounted Power supply area is quite a distance so if you are using a PS with short cords plan on another case or a different PS. After using these fans for about 24/7 for the last 3 1/2 years I find myself that they still run, I think one is about to go out it is slowing down but over all my best case I am prolly going to buy another and let it sit around for when I want another

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.
