Lights Sound And ...Well Lights:
These shots are from XClio's web site, the ones below are from my own shots.
Conclusion:Personally the XClio 1000 case was one of the most enjoyable cases I have ever had the pleasure to work with; the case is beautiful if a bit on the large side. And while not completely tool less, it didn't require anything more than what is required to install a motherboard. One of my biggest fears for this case was that it would be loud, and to an extent it is... IF you turn up all the fans to high. Although doing so is completely unnecessary, placing all the fans on low provides more than adequate cooling and is still quieter than the Antec Twelve Hundred case we reviewed sometime ago; which also featured numerous fans to provide great cooling. As an air cooling case, the XClio is one of the best. It has all the features you could look for in a case such as amazing cooling, fan controller, and bright lights... now who doesn't like bright lights? Humor aside, if the lights bother you there is an option to turn them off. A few things I would probably do different with this case is, I would make it easier to remove the front EMF panels and I would also provide a way to synchronize all of the lights when you set them to cycle through the colors. This is especially noticeable when you set the front lights as these are all controlled independently. For $299.99, at time of publication, there may be a better case to suit your needs, especially with the current economy. Other than those three minor points this case is amazing!
