No computer build is complete without a monster case to contain all the power that comprises your new rig. There are literally hundreds of computer cases on the market ranging in size from book-shelf mini-ITX all the way to full size towers capable of containing quad CPU configurations. Today we will take a look at the latest full size tower offering from XClio, the A380Color-Plus. XClios' latest case is not short of space, size, cooling, or color options.

?We are looking at the Xclio A380Color Plus, a case with audacious styling and unique aesthetics. Toss in some neat LED lighting effects and huge fans, and you've got something very interesting as a result. Sure, we're suckers for good looks, who isn't? But at the end of the day, we believe Performance is King, and that's often where things are made or broken in product design and implementation.?

?The Xclio Nighthawk claims many great features and performance at a mid-range price tag $80 USD. The Nighthawk is targeted to both gamers and enthusiasts that are looking for an attractive case with many features. Xclio has a considerable amount of competition in a market that is saturated with literally several hundred other mid-tower cases, so we are wondering what the Nighthawk brings to the table in terms of uniqueness, performance, features, and quality.?

XClio are a company based in Taiwan and manufacture computer cases, power supplies, laptop coolers and fans with a focus on simplicity and practicality. On our review bench today we have the XClio Nighthawk case, a feature filled mid-tower chassis incorporating a special cooling system. XClio has a lot of competition in a market segment crowded with several hundred other mid-tower cases and so we will see if the XClio Nighthawk can stand out and distinguish itself with regard to construction quality, style, features and cooling performance.

Today we have the chance to review the Xclio Great Power
1000w Power Supply and let me tell you this thing has the power. With
its 1000 watts of actual power and four independant 12 volt rails this
baby could easily be called a beast. It sports top of the line
capacitors and dual transformers making this one of the best big boy
toys we have seen a long while. Come on over at and take a look at
this one and see what you think.

In this review I will be going over a new enclosure from XClio called the 6030 Plus. Xclio offers several different styles of enclosures along with a line of power supplies. The 6030Plus is an all black enclosure with a large side panel intake fan. How large of a fan you ask? How about 360mm big. This large fan should push hot air right of the enclosure and do so with low RPM's which mean lower noise. Also when things are on the cool side a built in fan speed controller is also included.

Xclio has entered the case market with their innovative, cheap and fun designs. One of their latest cases has posed an age old question to computer enthusiasts everywhere: Does size matter? Xclio's Propeller case sports a 360mm side fan makes it clear to everyone what side they took.

The portion of the Wind Tunnel's side panel that houses the two 25cm fans protrudes from the side of the case to compensate for the depth of the fans, so there won't be any issues with clearance between your components and the fans. There are also some ventilation holes on the top part of the side panel to let heat escape from the case.

I had high hopes for the Propeller, considering how much I liked XClio's 188A chassis, but it wasn't to be. When considering a budget case, there are some shortcomings one can ignore. The Spartan interior is roomy, but doesn't have many amenities or innovative features. I know how to use a screwdriver; I can deal with that. Especially considering the Propellers low cost. On close examination, it lacks the kind of fit and finish I like to see in a chassis, but for $65 and a 360mm fan, I can live with it.

Xclio was one of the first manufacturers to incorporate oversized fans in their cases when they released the A380 Super Tower Case with two 25cm fans. Now they have released the 3060 Plus, a mid-tower case with a 36cm fan on the side panel! Let's take a look at this case, and see whether the incredibly large case fan offers any benefits.

Over the years, fans inside computer cases have more than doubled in size. Original case fans were 80mm, but more recent cases are including 140mm or even 250mm fans. The XClio 3060 Plus takes it one giant step further by including a huge 360mm side panel fan. Is bigger really better?

The aesthetic nature of this case is up to the discretion of the user. While the bold features on this case may not appeal to quite a number of people, there is no doubt that the two large 250mm fans cool extraordinarily well.

The Xclio 188A is one of the best budget chassis' I've worked with. Not only is this case very classy looking, the cooling is superb and there is plenty of room inside for most systems. The 250mm fan does its job quietly and efficiently and the integrated fan speed controller is a welcome feature.

The 188 case is very top notch. It is very well built and has solid construction with no creaks or rattles. The minimalistic design gives the case a very attractive aura, and it's cooling performance is excellent. The theme of being simple has been shown throughout this review, with screws being needed everywhere. This does not exactly mean it is going to be harder to install your system, tool-less designs can be sometimes flimsy and can even bring up compatibility problems. This is the first case in a while that has not been provided with thumbscrews (which appears to be a must in almost all cases), but that doesn't put this case off one bit.

Xclio is working on making a name for themselves with a line of high quality cases and power supplies, and I recently took a look at one of their power supply units, the Stable Power 500W. I had mixed feelings about that power supply, as it provided solid power, but it put out a good amount of heat and the cables were unwrapped. The 1000W model Stable Power unit is geared for a different class of users, and has many features that you find on higher class power supplies.
