Thinking of buying..

[Ascension]

Okay guys, thinking of buying a 'Gaming case' simply cos my old case it knackered.. broken LED's and the On button is also broke

Did a few searches and came to this (http://www.caseclosed.co.uk/moddedcases_xclio.htm) the X-Clio

This case looks great see for yourself here (http://www.caseclosed.co.uk/moddedcases_xclio_gall.htm)

Im all for paying £70 for the case but, before I buy can anyone tell me if they know anything nicer for roughly £70 or less?

Its for X-mas really and as i dont want nothing else I wanna make sure I get something nice..

sweet ass case dude... thinking of one myself as my midtower really doesnt hold everything it needs to anymore.

Are they aluminium?

If your going to overclock get an aluminium case.

I just ordered one of these (the primarily black version (full tower ofcourse :) ))

My PC has just out grown its midtower raidmax 686 casing. tis a real shame too i liked that blue case.

Hope this case rocks as much as it looks like it does.

Lol bought it too!

Actually here : http://www.caseclosed.co.uk/moddedcases_xclio.htm it says its made of steel...which i think is not Alluminium...besides, it does seem kinda cheap for an alluminium case right?

After looking at the pictures of the inside and the back, it definitely is not Aluminum.

Well, ph33r my 1337 TT Xaser case...cba to post pics really :)

But you gota trust me, its uber (and uberly heavy...14.5 kilos WITHOUT the hardware inside...damn 1mm thick steel).

Sorry, but there will only be one King case. They call it teh CUBE!!

teh cube > all

BUT, if you arent filthy rich. Try coolermaster/lian-li. I have a Coolermaster wavemaster and I must say it is the best case I have ever owned. You really pay for the quality. Plus its truely aluminum and 4kg lighter than the x-clio ;)

PS- why do you need an aluminum case to overclock? That some kind of joke maybe? :confused:

You don't "need" one, but they are easier to mod as far as cutting goes and they shed heat better than steel.
It all depends how extreme you want to go with OC'ing.

Overclocking a cpu, vid card, memory, running a couple of 10,000 rpm hard drives creates a lot of heat.

With an Aluminum case you can run your fans a bit slower and have one or two less fans compared to using a steel case because Aluminum doesn't hold in the heat as much as a steel case does. Loud fans are annoying. :D

For anyone that was as taken by this case as I was. here is a pretty good review that seems to be farily accurate I would guess. I'll know on monday :)

It does reccomend changing the direction of the the rear fan... evidently they have it as an intake instead as an outlet. But they do rave about the detail that was used in the consctruction. Like I said, i'll know more on monday.

or how about that clio case for only £50 instead of 70

I WANT THE CUBE! But I sure as hell can't afford to spend $550 on a case. :p Damnit all. :mad:

I got mine for $80 usd. Pretty good price, still didnt have a PSU with it, but I've already got a 560w so no need for a new one :) I'll try and post some pics once i get it up and running.
