anyone have "XClio A380 SuperTower" case

[fuzzy2308]

dose anyone here or know someone here that has a XClio A380 Super Tower? are they any good how much did you pay for it

[fuzzy2308]

arnt they pretty

[acarmody]

...............Pretty isn't the first work to come to mind.

[fuzzy2308]

lol what would you call it them

[SMURFTEC.]

pretty....generic, nah jokes.

but seriously if your planning on putting high performance parts in that case i.e gfx big heatsink etc id go a more mainstream case maker, preferably antec or thermaltake (not a fan of their tool-less design), at the end of the day i reckon it comes down to whats going inside it etc.

also put up a price figure of what you want to spend so we can recommend stuff to ya

[acarmody]

lol what would you call it them

How to put this nicely..............................HOLY CRAP BURN IT WITH FIRE, ARGGHHHH MY EYES, MAY THE POWER OF CHRIST SEND YOU BACK TO THE ABYSS, AWAY SATAN. LOL. No seriously the first word I thought was 'Hectic', no idea why, but second word was 'Gay'.

[acarmody]

I MIGHT consider owning one of these, I'm very picky about my case.

[dijm8]

i would maybe stick to the more well known cases like lian li and thermaltake

have a look at this site, PCCG i buy all my computer stuff from these guys...lian li will also be my next case ill be getting next month but will be pricey at 300 bucks but well worth it

[fuzzy2308]

Hey SMURFTEC, what don't you like about the tooless design? Thinking of getting a thermaltake, but it'll be the first PC i'm building....

Hey STEALTHY, with the tool less design, as far as i know it was on the Thermaltake Soprano i worked on, and it was just annoying, for instance the cd drive racks were these lose clips with pins that just had to like sit in the side of the cd drive, so ultimately the cd was held in by these two flimsy plastic things with these locks on them which didnt ever work for me, same with the hard drive, you had to fasten it in the cage with a plastic twist clip, once again same story was with the expansion slot, its one big cage and you just clip all the cards in.

its a personal preference thing but in the day i wasnt happy at all to use a piece of flimsy plastic to secure my 500 gfx card at that time. but as to an exception normally when i build for people I buy a thermaltake wing 101 cos that is a medium size case, priced at $80 with a 430 watt psu and is full use of tools, i guess it comes down to what your after, Id stay clear of the Thermaltake v9, i used that for a build, was the worst case ive worked with, drive cages were all over the shop and so was the motherboard pins, if you have any other questions just hit us up, i'm more than happy to help you out, and props to you for doing the build yourself, easiest way to save yourself hundreds almost a thousand dollars.

my current psu is 300.0 Watt if i get a 480W will i kill any thing?

[acarmody]

No. Parts will only draw as much power as they require.

LOL, the V9 is the one i wanted (but the black edition).

I havn't found another case that even comes close to looking as sexy (and having never built one before, aesthetics is all i looked for)

haha, at the end of the day mate, its your cash and your computer, i guess i was turned off them from my bad experience with them, maybe I had a bad batch, when i was carrying it to the car the front decided to unclip off and the computer vanished from my arms haha, from experience (although I'm biased), an antec 900 is about $128 from your local msy, the antec 300 is about 69 and the antec 200 is about 60 or something, I bought my 900 for 170 back in the day :| but i loved the 3 fan design on the antec 1200, so i got the best of obth worlds with a bit of customisation! and cable management is such a dream with the antec 900 it has pre cut holes in the chassis, but maybe fans arent your thing , only downside is theres no fan filters, but i can live with that! just do a full clean every 1 year of the inside.

Happy building! here's some inspiration!
