Conclusions
The XClio A380 Twin Engine Super Tower case is a very interesting blend of form and function. The overall build quality is above average for a pre-modified gaming case and the resulting look is very attractive without going over the top. The sleek jet engine styling and cool blue lighting effects are very original. If you are an avid gamer or budding aeronautical engineer, the A380 offers a great combination of unique styling and features that are sure to please.
Overall, the case ventilation provided by the two large air turbines was very good, especially with the side fan blowing directly over the motherboard area. Unfortunately, some of the front fan’s airflow is blocked by various internal case components.

These cases are one of the
These cases are one of the best I have owned. I purchased the A380Bk over 5 yrs ago and still use it. I have replaced the 2 large fans twice in those 6 years. Fits any size motherboard. I currently have an AsRock Fatl1ty Z97 Killer with an Intel Core i5-4590 3.3Ghz with an MSI GTX 750Ti 2GB/DDR5 OC edition with a Creative Labs Soundblaster Z. I currently run 7 Western Digital Hard Drives. 4-1TB and 1-2TB and 2-3TB. Plus have a Blu-Ray burner and a DVD burner and with a Thermaltake NIC C4 CPU Cooler and the large cooling fans keep eveything cool. Love this case…just wish I could find an A380B Color. Wanted to try the new vertical drive storage that mine did not have, the older 380BKs used the Horizontal system. plus having the color selection would have been nice.
I agree. I own this case
I agree. I own this case since 2008 🙂
But Thermaltake NIC C4 is not to high to fit with the side fan?
I would like to change my mobo and take also a bigger cpu cooler but I am worried about the side fan. What is your opinion?
