XClio

[Dramamine]

Hi, all. I have a question concerning the xclio company, and their products.

A few months back while I was building my new PC, I chose to get an Xclio case. I chose it because it was full size and relatively cheap.

I'm just wondering about the quality of their products, cases specifically. So, could anyone share some light on them?

you generally can go cheap on cases but it is also slightly risky

if you get a generic brand then you might have aesthietic problems like fingerprint attractive surface and flimsy materials, which leads to many dents and scratches

then you have the problem of build some cheap cases might be flimsy and fragile and the backplates might be easily breakable or plastic.

cheap cases might also result in poor airflow due to poor fan slots

so you do have to be slightly careful when getting a case, i haven't heard of XClio but if they have good reviews online and if it costs over 50 dollars then yo are probably safe

the cases aren't that bad, though sometimes they use a bit too much plastic on the exterior making it a little easier to break, usually they have a decent amount of fan placements (though get your own fans, theirs are pretty bad)

@Upendra, if you don't mind scratches and dents as you go, i have a $30 rosewill case that has some pretty good airflow (ie 2 x 120 + 1 x 92)

At the time of purchase, it was $105 for a full size case.
It's normal price is around $150, I believe.
The construction seems to be pretty sturdy right now, I have few complaints.

Also, to mindless, the fans with this are fine for me. They seem to be working well enough. And yeah, the plastic on the case is fairly annoying, but I didn't expect it to be completely metal or anything.

oh yeah if it is that expensive then you can count on quality most of the time

go for it it doesn't sound like a bad company

Dear god upendra stop giving advice if that is the best you can do.

If it's expensive you can count on quality? Are you just plain thick or trolling?

Anyway, Xclio make very good psu's, especially their greatpower series. I have no idea about their cases and I certainly wouldn't recommend them on no other knowledge except they cost >$100.

OP, exactly *why* are you asking this question btw?

 

[Upendra09]

sorry

I was just looking for information about the company.
At the time of purchasing my PC parts, I just sort of jumped the gun on case buying and got something large and affordable.

Everything about the case is fine, though, so I guess this thread isn't entirely necessary.
