And now for something quite different - the XClio A380

[Zepper]

.
Dual 250s!!! Egads... Claims 150 CFM each.

Made of 1.0mm SECC so there is little fear of case parts being blown about the room from the pressure.

no I think you've confused that with a minuature boeing 747

OK bill, I'll play.

The pooper scoopers on the side covers are fake, the side saddle HDD cage blocks the fan discharge and it is fugly.
OTOH, it is true Americana, "Nobody lost money in America by appealing to poor taste"
It fits in with the cars of the late '50s.

I have the intake fan for my next case, it's a 172x52mm Sanyo Denki, 148cfm@35dBA. It will run in near silence at 7V driving atleast 100cfm.

Hows this case though, It's inside looks like it would work well with the air tunnel design unlike the OP case.

and this one looks like its even more design around the air tunnel idea,

But viramor, the fans they're so puny...

Seriously, the basic design that the Spiral Galaxies et al. (at least Tt, Enermax and Silverstone have one) use is not very good. The air flow patterns are al screwed up. But it is by far the best value in a case of that design.

I'd go for the Aerocool CoolView instead - much better design and not so big.

Looks like one of those Bazooka bass tubes someone might put in the trunk of thier car, truely fugly.

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Besides the fact that it's 1 huge 2 glows like a mofo (from the picks) I like it. <3 250 mm fans...

 

[Brbnboy13]

That has to be the ugliest case I have ever seen!!!

That has to be one of the most useless reviews i have ever read. No mention of temps or noise, execpt for "They are extremely quiet even at full throttle." And I love this line "The amount of airflow must be insane with these fans", you did test the case right?, so is the amount of airflow insane or not. As for the case, the sideways facing hd cage with the itty bitty holes makes the huge fan on the front useless.

 

[maevinj]

Anybody bought this case? I'm curious about how well it cools. i actually like the design in black

 

[Corporate Thug]

that might just about be the ugliest case i have ever seen

 

[CurseTheSky]

It would be tolerable if they got rid of the extra plastic on the sides of the case.

Other than that, I might paint it sky blue and load it up in a '57 Bel Air...

 

[PhoenixOrion]

ugly.

for that price, they can't even get a nicer rear vent grills.

 

[maevinj]

Yes it's ugly but if it's efficient than who cares. So I take it that since everybody thinks it's ugly nobody has bought it?

Looks like a jet engine -
