Currently I have an mge quantum case which is nice however it's now on the small side for my needs. I'm also not liking the lack of air flow across the hd bay from the 80mm front fan. I'm really leaning towards the xclio windtunnel case with the two 250mm fans on the side panel, one of which blows directly across the hd bay with a vent to exhaust the hot air behind it. Do any of you have this case and if so how are your temps? Thanks guys.

I've pretty much made up my mind that I'm going to get it along with two 12cm fans for the front and rear. I'm really looking forward to having a large fan blowing directly across my hd bays. I'm probably going to get more hd's along with it and maybe throw an 8800gts in the mix as well. Damn my cc bill is going to be high.:shocked:

You don't really need any other fans - save your money or at least wait until you have the case to see if you really need any. All that air needs vents to escape, fans would just get in the way.

It's possible that XClio will soon have a case that sort of looks like the A380 but it will have a 250 in the front and a 360mm fan in the side! Someone posted a thread here about the German Maxpoint version. How long will it be until a dual 360mm fan box comes out - egads!

I also ordered an enermax galaxy 850w ps to go with it since I'm going to load it up with drives. If figure all 6 hd bays will be full with high capacity sata hd's. My order is also supposed to arrive on Wednesday so we'll each get ours on the same day. I'm waiting to see what happens with the 8800gtx prices. I've noticed that the gts prices have taken a dive this week and that's a good thing.
