XCLIO Propeller case with 360MM fan review - Page 3 - Overclock.net

Yeah, you guys should all stick with 80mm case fans because they're obviously better

Don't you realize that bigger is always better with fans? The only limit is the surface area you have to mount it, so why not utilize all of it? With a bigger fan you can run it at lower RPM, get more airflow, and generate less noise all at the same time.

It's all gonna end in tears.. And it'll probably be the smae person who loses the finger.

Well I don't claim to be an engineer of any kind, but I think I see one major flaw in this case's design. That of course is one intake fan and no exhaust fans. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the point of case fans to draw cool air in one direction and blow hot air out the other effectively. Then as said before wouldn't one giant fan create a bit of pressure on all the components?
Now if they put the same fan on the opposing side for exhaust.....

Would make for a really nice Sci-fi mod project. I don't know why but when I look at it I think of the movies Aliens. I think it has the theme of the computers on board their little armord car they had.

Hmmm I wonder when we'll be able to get that fan by itself on Performance-PCs.com

I bet you will get perfect cable management out of this thing, because when that fan spins it practically glues the cables onto the back of the case with it's air pressure.

That is just to much. I have no idea who would ever need that cooling power unless it's a server that runs 24/7 and yes i thought the cooling power was underwellming to

I bet Xclio's engineers where siting around a table brainstroming and one of them saw a AC vent and climbed up there and took a fan down

hahahah my second opinion was something like this

but the point of one big **** fan like that is not bad.. ive done some testing last winter and i had all my cas fan used has intake with the window open and temps went donw more than with half intake and half exhaust... about 5degree celsius .. so might not be stupid afther all

Pshhh wheres the 500MM fan?

Bigger doesn't equal better. A solid pair (120's) will always beat out the gimmicky "increase your epeen size" hardware.

I may buy this case.

It's 65$ + shipping at the egg.. Great if you ask me.

Nvm.. I wish it was full ATX

Nice case to mod, but it's just a beefed up generic case. The 5.25" and 3.5" bays are in a single stack, so hard drive vibrations are going to pass right through the case, the airflow needs to be seriously balanced out - probably a 120mm at the back, a 120mm in the PSU and a 120mm on the top would do it, and that side grill looks hideous.

Apart from that, a nice idea.
