XClio 1000 Case

[mammothmoth]

Hello, I was browsing through cases for a new computer I am planning on building and I stumbled upon the XClio 1000 case. I really like the look and the features of it but the price tag is what worries me. Is this case worth the money? And will it last meaning will this case still be top notch in a few years to come?

Pretty, but it doesn't really do anything special, besides look pretty. So, no, it isn't worth the price imo - but worth is in the eye of the beholder. If a trophy case is important to you, it's important to you, and nothing anybody else says means anything.

Personally, I'd rather spend less on a case and more on custom cooling. You could even get a case with liquid cooling for that price point, which would actually do more than just flash at you and make all of the noise of that XClio 1000 and its wind tunnel design.

As to the second question of longevity: Three years from now just about any computer hardware will be archaic, so do not spend more now in hopes of longevity. In fact, in three years we might not even be using the same motherboard layout.

Just my two cents.. ultimately it is very much a matter of your preferences.
