bp9801 Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 We have a new case from XION on the test bench today.

Waco Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Brutal but fair I tried to be as fair as possible...but this one really let me down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskout Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Having used a Xion case in a build, long ago, I can honestly say that I didn't expect any better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 What I really want to know is... what case did you have fall apart when you looked at it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonerboy779 Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Not sure if xion is going to want anymore products reviewed by OCC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Man I am glad I haven't bought any of their cases on any build I have done though I have looked at a lot of them for various builds in the past, maybe I won't look their direction anymore unless we get a case worth reviewing comes in from them.

Waco Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 What I really want to know is... what case did you have fall apart when you looked at it? My old (circa 2004) acrylic case sometimes felt like it would. It was pretty, but it was a POS. EDIT: Looking at that makes me miss the old LCD I had on the front of the case. Waaay better than gadgets! Some company needs to build a case that includes something like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 About the case: overpriced. I've seen chassis having almost same design as this from Aerocool or some company like that. @Waco: That comparison list in the review is teh comparison list everyone will look for. Direct comparison of temperature with so many alternate chassis helps every reader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture is from 2004...back when you actually needed a floppy drive to install RAID drivers and such. EDIT: Didn't realize Blue logged me out of the HTPC. This is Waco.
