Introduction
We have reviewed a considerable number of cases from various manufacturers, and today we’re breaking new ground of sorts as we’ll be looking at our first case from Xclio. This is the first time that we have had the opportunity to review a chassis from the Xclio Company.  If you take a look at their site you will see they offer a number of cases by size and with some interesting styles and lighting effects as well as power supplies, fans, and coolers.

The Xclio Nighthawk claims many great features and performance at a mid-range price tag $80 USD.  The Nighthawk is targeted to both gamers and enthusiasts that are looking for an attractive case with many features.   Xclio has a considerable amount of competition in a market that is saturated with literally several hundred other mid-tower cases, so we are wondering what the Nighthawk brings to the table in terms of uniqueness, performance, features, or quality, tell-tale characteristics of a successful case (or not).

With so many manufacturers releasing an increasing number of computer chassis on a much more frequent basis the standards have increased greatly.  Computer cases have become a critical system component, and the days of “just give me something to install my system in” are long gone.  Users are far more discerning in terms of styling and functionality, while also demanding good value for their money. 

Thanks go to Xclio for supplying the review sample.
