Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 750w-2012-12-24

I heard XClio and their mixed quality, but a lot of the bad reviews seemed to be on the lower end models. I bought this STABLEPOWER GOLD 750W power supply, and I have been very happy with it. The price for a 80plus gold PSU was great, It came in a very high quality almost tool box like storage case, It runs very cool, plenty of cables, and it seems to very stable with my I7 950 Oc"d to 4.2 Ghz. Overall, I am very impressed by the quality of it.

Power Supply XClio Goodpower 650W-2012-09-13

Plenty of power, protection, length of cables, all the current connections and quiet. Great deal for a solid power supply like XClio Goodpower 650W. I"ve owned many and this is one of the better ones that is reasonably priced. First time I used it I had to check if the fan was running because I did not hear it. Over 80% efficient so less wasted power as heat.

This power supply is great. It is modular and will mount into a top or bottom case configuration. The wire bundles are adequately flexible (heavy wire is less flexible) and have sufficient length. I have used some other brands that had ripple and regulation (voltage) problems. This unit has neither ripple or regulation issues. Everything you"d expect from a professional-grade 80-plus bronze certified modular PSU. Packaging was great, plenty of cords, and plenty of instructions for newbies or pros.

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.

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.


 

XClio TR2535USB (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack with USB3.0 Hub )-2012-09-13

Quality build, easy access, uses ONE 5.25" bay for one 3.5" AND one 2.5" sata drive, on/off switch, vibration/noise isolated mount, only uses one power connector for both drives.


 


XClio TR2535USB (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack with USB3.0 Hub )-2012-09-13

 Solid construction, drives snap in place perfectly, supports SATA 3, Has shock mounts on rails. Open construction keeps drives cool.


 


XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-09-13

Works, looks nice. Very convenient way to swap drives. Sata 3, disk activity lights function, tray less. Seem pretty reliable. These are really easy to set up.. I like them generally.


XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-09-13

 Works great. keeps drives cool even on low fan setting.  Easy access and it locks.  Clever design. Installed it and inserted a SATA drive. The results were good. I swapped the dirve with another SATA and it worked good.


 


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

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!


 


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

 Easy install with no problems, drives slide in and out with no problem. Cost it great for this item. I didn"t get this for frequent swaps such as for backups. I just want the ability to swap OS disks without opening up the case. It seems to work perfectly well for that. For the price I like having the option of swapping disks on a whim.


PC CASE: XClio 320 PC case-2012-09-12

Preinstalled with two 12cm fans, the XClio 320 supports 6 optional fans and water cooling system for seamless cooling customization.

XClio Touch 787 Super Tower Chassis Review from Tweak Town


I just found out a very good PC case from XClio. They have a touch panel  to control 10 fans at once. I think this is very "cool". Just check out the pics and there is a review for the Touch 787 from Tweak Town.




 


Very nice review, this is a very nice PC case and I love it.


Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 750w-2012-09-12


XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 750W is DEAD SILENT. I can"t hear it at all. It provides more than enough power for my current setup with lots of room to upgrade.  Pumps out the power I need to get things done for a quad core and lots of usb hoggers. Voltages are nearly spot on. Unboxing of this unit you can see the quality.

Power Supply XClio Goodpower 750W-2012-09-12

 XClio Goodpower 750W is something special. 80Plus Bronze. It is deathly quiet, so much so that I was worried it wasnt working when I first plugged it in to test it.  Quality is what I pay for when I buy components. Functionality and aesthetics are a close second. This power supply encompasses all of those with the power I needed. It"s sturdy, sexy and silent.  I would reccomend this to any one looking for a great power supply.


Power Supply XClio Goodpower 750W-2012-09-12

This is another great PSU from XClio.  XClio Goodpower 750W is super quiet. XClio is right up there with other top brands, but at a much more affordable price. DO NOT CHEAP OUT YOUR PSU, YOU WILL REGRET IT!! Maybe not now, or next week, but if you cheap out , you can kiss a few of your components goodbye as low quality PSU"s don"t just poop out, they fry other components just to spite you. 


Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 1000w-2012-09-12


XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 1000W is an amazing power supply. Comes with one  year warranty although I doubt you will need it. It"s quieter than I was expecting. I am now using it with two gtx 590s and the fan never even has to speed up even if I"m running both cards at load and they are drawing all 1000w of it. Looking inside, the heat sink is massive. Large fan that is extremely quiet. Worth every penny! Its very efficient has not failed yet.


Power Supply: Stablepower Gold 1000w-2012-09-12


XClio STABLEPOWER GOLD 1000W is an excellent power supply! Got one in my older computer with excellent results and no failures and still have no failures in my second. Never have heard the fan spin, ever - in comparison to other PSU"s that can be loud and obnoxious. It was easy to install. Had it for almost over 2 months now and no problems. Runs as quietly as ever. System is stable with enough spare power for future upgrades/additions.  Can"t go wrong with 80+ gold. It runs solid and the modular design gives me lots options. Great deal for 1000w under 200 bucks.


Power Supply: XClio Greatpower 550W-2012-09-12

Great looks! The blue LED Fans are huge and quiet. This case has plenty of room and was a breeze to set up... Truly a tooless case. My computer was packed with 3 HD"s 4 optical drives an FX -60 processor and 2 Geforce 7800 GTX"s running SLI. My system ran really hot until now. This case keeps everthing cool. Front Magnetic Door easy close and open.



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

Looks like a server case (tons of bays), tool-less install for HDs and DVD drives. Its a bit hard to use the tool-less but it works. Room for 3-4 dvd drives and 8-10 HDs.  It has 4 fans, that look well placed. Has speed controls for the big top and side fans. Power Supply fits on the bottom so its very stable. Lots of LED lights!!  Got some whistles from tech savvy friends as they looked in the case for the first time. It looks pretty good.


 


 


 



 

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

 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.



 


 

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

 Fast tool less install, trayless, three lockable SATA cables, hot-swappable, led on-off option, lockable, two power inputs to power three HDD"s, and mostly aluminum construction that fits in a two bay space.


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

 


Never bought anything from XClio before & didn"t have very high expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Solid construction, everything is metal with the exception of the front latches. Drive caddies are made of metal and quite solid. The 30mm fans aren"t louder than the other 120"s in my system.  Decent airflow on the drive. I installed a single platter 7200RPM laptop drive & after stressing it for an hour it topped out at 33C.



XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

4 2.5" drives in one 5.25" bay! It works great! Right now, I have 2 32 gig patriot ssd"s running in raid 0. Now, for those velociraptors . . . This was the perfect solution to my drive question.


 


XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

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.

This travel kit provides the finest quality HDMI connection solution and perfect for your mobile devices. It is portable and easy to store and carry, so you can HD life everywhere.


PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-09-11

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 BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

 


Great construction, easy to access drives, will be great when I migrate to ssd drives. Good design and construction. Everything comes apart with screws for customization. Plenty of airflow around HDDs.

XClio IPC BP1425 (SAS/SATA HDD Backplane Module )-2012-09-11

 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 )-2012-09-11

 This is so perfect! Fits right into my 5.25 bay. I have two Patriot SSD 64GB (Raid 0) and two WD Velociraptors 150GB (Raid 0) in there. The lights come on indicating everything is swell. I have tested the hot swap on a mirror raid and everthing is sweet! I should have just bought 4 velociraptor drives and done a RAID 5 (nVidia raid).


XClio IPC TR1135 (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack )-2012-09-11

 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 )-2012-09-11

 Own several of them. Everything works as advertised. Yes, it"s mostly plastic but so far it works (and looks) just fine. A bargain considering the price and very easy to use in comparison to traditional drawer racks. Use the included cable for the HDD LED.

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.


 

XClio TR1135BOX (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack Enclosure )-2012-09-10

Piece of cake to install. No screws needed to install a the drive just open the latch and slide it in.  A great way to access drives. In the future I will be only buying SATA drives so this gives me flexibility in backing data up and also removal if I want to cut down on the power being drawn and extra heat being generated. I like the fact that I do not have to buy trays for the drives and that it is a complete system. Just plug in a drive.


 


 

XClio TR2535USB (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack with USB3.0 Hub )-2012-09-10

XClio TR2535USB (SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack with USB3.0 Hub )-2012-09-10

Stylish and well constructed. Mounting allows 4 normal length screws per side. Top slot is lockable. Only requires 1 SATA power connection. SATA III and USB 3.0.

This is a great way to save space. I have mine mounted is a 3U server case. Works great for me. This is the best way to add raid to smaller cases. Nice design.  Compact size, versatility and construction are the best features. As compared to other similar units it is by far a more sturdy unit.
