Right, so I'm building a new computer from scratch and have looked through quite a few cases. This one really did catch my eye (due to the 2 massive fans :D) and made me forget about the previous case I had selected.

Here's a pic and some info:

Xclio's latest Wind tunnel case is a new concept design with Super cooling in mind. 2 x 25cm quiet fans on the side panel - VR controllable.

Ideal for the gamer yet subtle enough for the power/workstation user in the office.

With added top and right side vents too.

Key Features

Wind Tunnel Best Cooling Atx Case with RoHS
2pcs Enormous Blue Led 250 Mm Fans
Fan 1 targets motherboard, VGA Card & Memory Modules
Fan 2 targets 3.5" & 5.25" bays (hard drives, CD/DVD drives)
Vr Fan Speed Control
Blue Led Illumination
Excellent Cooling Solution
Tool-Less Clips & Rails For Easy Installation
Black Rubber Material Front panel

So my main question is, does anyone here own it and if so is it any good?
I should be running a Radeon 4850 which are known to get particularly hot so good cooling is needed and apparantly this case has it. But it would be nice to have a few first had opinions.

i would not recommend it as its not partically good and quite generic features (interior wise), i would recommend the antec 300 and some decent 120mm fans.

I'd remove the link, it's a competitor ;)

I'd suggest;

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...per Midi Tower Case - No PSU (Gun Metal Black)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...name=Akasa Eclipse 62 Aluminium Case - No PSU

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...=Lian Li PC-A07B Aluminium Midi-Tower - Black

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...-7B PLUS II Aluminium Midi-Tower Case - Black

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...&name=Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...name=Antec Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case

All would be better than the Xclio, i'd spend a bit more and go for something a bit nicer.

all those cases are nice. i would also like to add this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...29&name=Coolermaster CM-690 Dominator - Black

out of all those cases listed above it basically comes down to which one you like the look of best. as they are all great cases in their own right.

may i ask what you are looking for in a case? Silent/Sleek, or cooling etc.

Mainly cooling with sleek coming second.

There are a lot of nice cases you're all linking to that I didn't see when I was looking through them!

then id suggest looking at something like the antec p182. or if you can find one the p182 se edition (pictured below - though i think it will be hard to find and out of budget) so better yet you may prefer the gun metal grey one from ocuk.

Airflow complex/uncontrolled, noise of those side fans and internal components like graphic card escapes directly.
Plastic HDD rails conduct HDD vibration forward and can cause loose rattling.
And doesn't even come with fan in back exhaust position! (so PSU has to suck in lot of heat)
