XCLIO A380BK Fully Black SECC 1.0mm thickness ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Very nice bang for the buck. I read every review before purchasing and it seemed alot of ppl were surprised by the size cuz its definitely a full tower, unlike advertised as a Mid tower. Heres the specs since you wont find them anywhere else. 23"L x 21"H x 8"W and every bit as big as the ThermalTake Armor series. Inside its no bs and lots of room. The dual 250mm fans is what sold me on this case cuz no other case offers this, and they are whisper quiet. I can actually hear my raptor hd accessing data now, coming from a Mid tower Raidmax with 6 case fans all pushing 250 cfm roughly combined. It sounded like a microwave. Not this one. Its very quiet, and looks very sharp. In some reviews the front grill was delivered damaged and touching the fan cuz it seems packaging doesnt protect the front as well as the top and bottom. Also check the led's on the fans cuz i did find one about to hit. Just simply bend it out.

Cons: Advertised as high gloss when its actually semi to dull. Top usb's are not standarized with plugs. Each wire is separate. Weak manual that didnt explain which way to position the screwless drive brackets. If you get them in backwards they are a pain to get out. Tiny button speaker wasnt explained in manual and I almost threw it out cuz case doesnt come with a typical speaker.

Overall Review: I highly recommend this case if you want extra cooling. The rear port hosts a variety of different sizes of fans but 120mm is the way to go. Xclio added a nice touch in illuminating the logo with the Hdd lead. The side fan covers my vid card nicely but could be a little lower when going sli to cover the second vid card. Cpu temp dropped from 104 to 89 idle up to 100 loaded. Gpu's dropped from 145 idle to 133 up to 144 loaded. Abit Fatality, AM2 5200+ w/Zalman, Nvidia 7950 GX2.

Pros: Very large can fit any motherboard and video card
LED lights changing looks great
No problem cooling the case

Cons: The side fan after about 1 year is loose and is hitting the housing
LED lights stop changing colors on a few not all but looks bad
Inside of case is gray primer not black as the outside

Overall Review: I liked the case when I first received it. Fit all the components I had including a large CUP heatsink fan cooler made by Indigo Extreme. Had to take the side fan and mount it on the outside the case to fit the heatsink. I am just disappointed that the side fan is already failing and need to buy another one. Going with a different brand with a cover.
