This thing is simply huge. On the screen it shows you several dimension, numbers on screen.
Then you take the case out of the box and you realize that the thing is huge. It has enough room inside to fit a small army. I"ve built a lot of computers over the last 30 years. This is one of the nicest cases I"ve come across for the money. It"s my second one in this house. Love it.

PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-25
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 320PC Case
Pros: Good looking case. It"s as awesome as the pictures make it seem.
Other Thoughts: Could potentially hold video cards up to 15 inches long. I haven"t actually tested this but I don"t see why not from looking at it.

Pros: The case has plenty of space for what I was doing. And keeps everything nice and cool with the fans that came with it. I like the blue leds, they put off an nice glow and don"t keep the wife up at night. <---Major plus :)
Price was what I was wanting to spend at the time.

XClio A380BK PC Case
Pros: Buy this case!!!!!!amazing !!!!!! the two 250mm fans work like power horses, 250mm front intake fan blows over hard drives onto mobo and video card :) lowered my video card by 17c!!!! the side 250mm fan blows directly onto video card!!!!! plenty of room also i added one 120mm rear exaust fan and two 80mm fans one on top blowing out and anther blowing out over the mobo no heat issues at all !!!!!
Cons: very big case lol
Other Thoughts: BUY THIS CASE specially if you hae heat issues
PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-25
This case is solidly built and well-ventilated. Parts fit where they belong and all the mount points are sturdy. It came with 3 fans so managing the temperature inside is not a problem. Aesthetically it looks great, and it"s not so big that I can"t find room for it. The power supply fit snugly and comfortably in its housing. More than enough room for all your drives.
PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-25
This is the first time I have built a computer, and this case worked for me quite well. It has plenty of room, and I did not have much trouble fitting everything in. My favorite feature is probably the removable, cleanable, air filter at the front of the case. I like to clean my computers 3 or 4 times a year, and I love the idea of just cleaning this filter with a little water. It is a great feature. The case also comes with three big fans, which gives me a little peace of mind about cooling in the enclosure. The blue LEDs are nice, but that is cosmetic icing on the cake. All the needed hardware was included, everything works well, and I can say that I am pretty happy.
PC CASE: XClio Touch 787 PC Case-2012-07-24
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.

So happy with the first two I bought I bought two more! Air flow if the key to computer life....period.
With 3 fans each with speed control switch for this price like WOW! Bottom mount power supply. Rock solid build.
Blue lights on all fans if your in to cool blue! You can not do better for the price!
PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel Advanced PC Case-2012-07-24
Pros: Can fit anything, fans are extremely quiet for their size, beautiful case, temperature control accurate. Control panel on top is nice, no detrimental sharp edges, comes with Xcilo carrying pouch. Overall a nice case for a gamer who wants to sleep at night without a million LED"s beaming into their faces.
Cons: So far no Con"s
Other Thoughts: Comes with 1 year Xclio warrenty and from what I see they have their stuff together; a good company with nice, swanky computer cases
PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel PC Case-2012-07-24

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 Windtunnel PC Case
Pros: It"s huge. When I got it, I thought I accidentally ordered a Caterham 7 kit car...this thing is huge. My IT friend thought it was a server tower. Anyhow, there is a TON of room inside. I had a bit of trouble getting the front panel to stay on once I took it off, but it"s pretty much fine now. The I/O plate and my mobo (Asus M5A97) didn"t line up with the board on the standoffs, but I"d rather have it on the standoffs. Not too keen on the blue LEDs, though, but only because it seems like computer hardware HAS to be blue nowadays.
Everything I expected for (at the time I ordered it) a $90 case, well worth the money. Keeps my 1090T and HD6790 (and everything else) nice and cool under decent loading.
Cons: Where the f%$& am I gonna put this thing?
PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-24
Looks like a mini server and could be one with all the available hd bays. great air flow. Lighted fans and the 4 corner blue led power/hd indicators are very cool on the all black mesh case. Bottom mount psu. Predrilled for h2o pipes. Enough room behind mobo to route cables for very clean build. filtered intakes. No sharp edges. Absolutely love it. Fans move mucho air, wires were long enough, connections were no brainers and the case got a positve review from my wife who sees computers as no different than any other tool.

I bought this to start out my new computer build and am very happy with it a month into owning it.
The fans keep air circulating through my case very well and it also looks very sharp from the outside.
Plenty of space, lots of drive bays, mount for PSU on the bottom (better for air flow and temp control IMO).
Solid construction, easy to install hard/disc drives, plenty of air flow with grated/mesh construction and 3 x 120mm case fans!
PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-23
My first case that hasn"t been the standard pc beige. I love the black finish which covers the entire case inside and out. Found no sharp edges on my case while working with it. As mentioned in other reviews, the hard disk retention trays can be a pain to fit the drives in. But very convenient once they are in and set. Also though not mentioned, the front mesh do have light dust filters in them. Overall all IMHO this case is definitely a good value for the price and I would have no qualms about recommending it friends.
PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-23
Attractive blue LEDs with a switch for all of them. Fan filters covering all intakes to stop dust. Side window is attractive if you have it on your desk. Great Case. Really well ventalated and the adjustments to the fan make it great for reducing noise, or increasing airflow while using demanding apps or games. Plenty of room for everything that I had to slam in this beast looking case. Great case I recommend buying it.

This case is an amazing mid tower for the price. Everything in my system stay cool and was not cramped. I"ve had it for about 1 year and half now and it still holds up great. This is a great looking case which is a lot cheaper now than it was when I bought it. It features 3 fans , which are LED. The case is simple in design but very sleek. My case is ice cool all the time and hasn"t overheated once. It is definitely the best case you can buy for this price range; I wouldn"t hesitate to recommend it to anyone building their PC.
PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-23
This case is amazing, it was exactly what I was looking for: a case that runs cool, cheap, quiet with lots of space inside but overall dorm-room-size conscious. I am transitioning to an i7 but buying everything else before the motherboard+CPU+Ram. This case gets me one step closer, right now it has the heart of my dell 4700 in it. The case has so much room for customization, if you take out the HD bays you can have up to 9, 5.25 slots, you can move the front fans in any 3 slot configuration you want, both side panels remove so there is easy access to the back of the cpu it also leaves a .5 inch gap behind the motherboard mount for cable management.
PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-23
Very sturdy construction, this case is rock solid. Airflow is good too, although the real test is in about 3 months when the temperature rises above 100. The LED"s are pretty bright, may or may not be a con, but everyone knows that the more blue lights you have, the faster your system is. The little doors that the front fan are mounted on are a really neat idea. Overall it"s a great case for the price. Comes with a lot of screws and stuff too.

PC CASE: XClio Windtunnel PC Case-2012-07-23
Pros: Much larger and heavier than what I had imagined it to be! But, better bigger with a lot more space than small and cramped up!
Had plenty of room to fit everything that needed to go in the case! Haven"t had it on for too long yet, but seems to be holing it"s own as for now. Then fans look good and seem to be ventilating the insides pretty well.
Well, so for so good! If anything comes up it the future, will post!
Cons: None that I can think of which could be defined as a "Con"
Other Thoughts: Cable ties that were provided weren"t, either long enough in some instances, or not strong enough in a few others. But for most part was ok.
The front panel doesn"t come with USB 3.0. Though it was my fault that I didn"t pay too much attention when I was ordering it, but I think now a days, they should make it a standard feature!
A few more USB ports in the front panel would not hurt!
But, am happy with case in general!

XClio Windtunnel PC Case
Pros: I have been using the original "Advanced" version of this case (same case as this except an added 180mm top fan) since I built this i7 920 setup back in 2008. I have ran my comp nearly 24/7 since then, and I can"t believe the big 250mm fans are still running perfectly to this day at constant full speed. Add a 120mm rear fan and the airflow is just amazing, also it is nearly silent because the 250mm fans don"t need to run at high RPM.
Cons: The plastic feet are sort of fragile, but I took mine off since it stands up fine without them anyway.
Other Thoughts: I remember the box being a bit dinged up when I got it, but luckily nothing was damaged. Reading other case reviews here, this seems to happen quite a bit, but not sure if newegg or shipping co. are to blame.

Efficiently cool(temp) case.. Has good airflow and rubber grommets for water-cooler.. Fans have enough power to keep my system around 25C idle(fans at lowest speed) and 55C gaming(fans maxed out).. quiet.. dust filters on fans(even in bottom hole for power supply fan)*.. manual fan control**.. able to customize pegs to accept most motherboard sizes/shapes(concerning the holes for the mounting screws)... you can also mount the power supply with its fan facing inside the case or facing the dust covered hole in the bottom of the case.. very customizable very easily... great deal for the price I paid. The only covers to prevent dust are over the fans, which is nice. I"m pretty happy with this case, I strongly recommend this case for beginners or those who can efficiently cram a lot of accessories into a smallish/medium case.. as long as this case holds up, I intend to use it until I can no longer fit anything more into it.

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.
PC CASE: XClio Nighthawk Black-2012-07-22
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-2012-07-22
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.
