Hi everybody , just boght a new case which is the Clio A380.
I had a thermaltake kandalf before this case and the price i picked up this case was amazing.

It really is the real deal , i tried looking on the internet for some reviews which were very hard to find.

I wanted to see if there is anybody else who has bought this case and would share there experiance regarding the case.
 
I wonder what the cooling benchmarks would be? But you would definatly want a fan grill on that thing...whats that? No I havnt seen the cat in a while?
 
It lloks the prt in the flesh and i can honestly say that its better than the thermaltake kandalf i had before and its more value.

It has this tooless fittings , i think its perfect for a overclock enviroment.

I would love to show you some pics of the case but dont know how to do that.
 
Been messing around with it a bit more and its seriosly amazing , brilliant case.
 
Send me your email and i will mail them to you , i dont know how to host them, somebody show me and i have quite a few i have taken , good case love it.

eeeeeks!!!!

YOu need to resize that first post!
Admins are going to come down like a hammer when they see the resolution of that pic!
 
I don't come down like a hammer, I prefer to help the mentally handicapped that live in our community :D
 
You know something , ireally did shit it and thought about the resolution but it was my first one i have ever done , what res should i do it at?

Sorry admin didnt mean to
 
Don't worry about it. 800x600 is fine. Anything bigger and it just takes a lotta moving to see everything.


Since we're on the topic, how much did it cost for that case?
 
I don't feel like heading over to NewEgg atm, but IIRC it retails between $100-110.
 
It was for £92 with a nice expensive Xclio 480watt PSU, thought it was a bargain.

If i bought it alone then it was for £69 and if i bought it with a PSU which they sell separate for £49 it costed me £92. I first just bought the case and then saw the offer when it got delivered and then asked them if they would send whats left over if i paid the cash which is left.

They sorted it , coooooool
 
I think you might want to strap it down to the desk or it could definitely fly away. The other thought that came to mind it would make one hell of a jet engine mod.

That is quite odd , i agree with you , cos even when i bought mine i could only buy it in Silver, I bought it from the UK and SCAN PC
 
Got the new Scythe INFINITY for this new System , still the mobo left though , after that I am going to do a small review , like a one pager or maybe two.
 
sheezus...

do your curtains sway when you turn that thing on?

on a serious note - does the case have a big enough opening for that fan's airflow? from the pic, it looks somewhat obstructed right behind the fan.

I was just about to say the same thing, from what I can see there are only some small holes to allow airflow into the case, all that metal is defeating the whole purpose of the fan.. break out the dremel my friend, you've got some work to do :cool:

Actually I me self dont know how the front fan is going to perform but that said there is one at ther side , if i am not going to like the front then yes i may just buy a dremel for this case.

It seems oK though , at the end of the day it will still take a lot of air in . I promise to get back on this .

I am still waiting for a mobo , I just bought the Scythe Infinty and its Huge.

After I get the things I will open a thread and tell you all how the experiance was.
 
Pre ordered the mobo after that I will do a little review on the case with fancy photos :)

Hopefully have the board for next week.

The temps inside the case are brilliant and I have never seen temps like this 29c inside temp on idle.

Also my 7950GX2 XXX used to be 70c and now its 50c , It has the 250mm fan just over it which makes this possible.

I would recommond this to anyone and its really quite , I find the inside fans to be more loud than the outer ones, weird huh?
