Instant access to drives. In my HAF 932, you have to open both sides of the case just to remove a drive, FAIL.
The fan is on a sealed rear, guaranteeing the drives are cooled. It uses two pairs of SATA power connectors, four SATA data connectors. The fan is quiet. The lights on the front are pretty. A heavy file transfer lit it up, accessing a single file didn"t, running CrystalDiskInfo SMART status freeware did.The units slides in through the front of your case.
This thing has plenty of power to run any cards in SLI and still have plenty for add-ons. It is almost silent and stays very cool. It look awesome IMO. I noticed a huge decrease from heat upgrading from a bronze 500w. Buy this PSU. Dont try to save money when you purchase a PSU. Unless you dont mind the increase chance of frying your mobo or other hardware. Besides this Gold model saves money in the long run. This thing looks professional. I dont like hardware that looks like toy and this thing looks like you built a system that will last.
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.
Well-built, much better than other 4-in-1 devices I"ve read about or seen. Dual power plugs, SATA and SAS connectors...it has everything you should need.
The other reviewers are correct, this item is extremely well-made. Sturdy & comforting. I would have NO problem putting these into high-performance environments. Other ppl complained about the fans, but I can"t hear them at all, and my PC is pretty quiet.
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.
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.
Pros: XCLIO GREATPOWER 1200W has very good quality modular cabling, has very stable voltages, and the fan is very quiet. I have ho zero problems with it in the 2 Months I have been using it with 3 HD"s, one optical drive, 9800 gx2, e8400(overclocked to 4.1 Ghz), 4 Gigs of ram, and 4 large case fans. I love the modular design which is color coded so that you always use the correct rails for stability of output.Other Thoughts: There are more attractive looking power supplies out there but I can"t see any reason not to enjoy the quality and ease of use that I am experiencing with this product. I plan on adding another 9800 gx2 for quad SLI which will easily be handled by this power supply with power to spare!
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.
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!
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.
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.
I tried Dual Booting and didn"t really like how things were going with it. I now have two of these and will purchase two more here shortly. NO More problems with my system. I put my Vista Drives in and I have a Vista System. I change them out and have an XP system! TWO Machines for little cash invested! PLUS I like to try out new things like Linux and I will be taking some Server courses. Way trash your everyday system or bring it down even for a few hours by mistake when you can pull out your Everyday system and Put in another drive tinker with it and then swap it again whenever you want!
It works as advertised, looks okay in my case, e-z to install, and it"s trayless. Support up to 6Gb/sec.
Great. I"ve got USB Safe Remove set up to show SATA drives, so I can make sure any writes are flushed before removing.
Very well built drive bay - I like being able to swap out drives on the fly without having to worry about keeping around extra inserts.
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.

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).
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.
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.
This right here is a GOOD power supply. XClio Goodpower 750W provides plenty of power and is 80+ bronze! For the price it was at this was a steal. One of the best 650w out there. Very efficient, inexpensive, and reliable. Bronze Class seals the deal. It"s powered everything I"ve needed. I"ve been a computer tech for many years. I"ve installed hundreds of PSUs and let me tell you, this one blew me away from the moment I opened the package, extremely well made.
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!
THIS ITEM IS AWESOME! This is my 3rd server build in the last few years and this enclosure is by far the best I"ve used. Very professional looking and sturdy construction, no flimsy junk here. Easy install and setup was a no brainer. Installed two of these in my Antec 1200 case with ease, running 5 Hitachi 3tb SATA 3, 7200rpm drives and room for two more enclosures when needed. I also like the two options for cooling fan control. Yea a different setup for the power and SATA cables would have been nice but I had absolutely no issues neatly installing wiring. I"m very pleased and will definitely buy more of these when I need them.
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.
Preinstalled with two 12cm fans, the XClio 320 supports 6 optional fans and water cooling system for seamless cooling customization. To meet your extensive graphics processing demands, the XCLIO 320 offers sufficient space to support up to 340mm graphics card. Grab a valued case without breaking the bank.

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?

Pros: I"ve had this case for about 6-7 months now and I couldn"t be happier with it. Massive, whisper quiet fans keep this huge case very cool. If not for my CPU fan, I would barely hear anything at all. The rail system makes it easy to add or remove drives. Just snap the rails to the side of the HD or disk drive and it slides right in. 7 expansion slots on the back panel give you plenty of room for your graphics cards and more.
Other Thoughts: Make sure your cables are long enough. It can be quite a stretch to go from the top 5.25" bay to the connectors on your motherboard depending on where they are on the board.
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.
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.
I was looking for something like this for a long time and everything I saw was cheap plastic. This one is top of the line, solid aluminum. Yes, it is pricy but you pay for quality product. Easy to install and you get 4 drives cage in 3 bays space. SATA cables are lockable.
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.
Well built, Light weight, easy to install, compatible with both SATA1.0 and SATA2.0. Drive fits in perfectly. Great looks, solid construction, and good cooling.
