Two Rediculous Cases

[Indybird]

I was browsing newegg.com when I found these two cases:
XClio A380
Cooler Master Mystique

Lets start with the XClio. Why would any computer need two (or any) 250mm fans!? I suppose they can move more air with less noise but still... It looks pretty rediculous, but I sorda like it the more I look at it.

Then the Cooler Master, this isn't real special, but the door opens in sorda split-manner. ok, I can't describe the way they open, just look at the pictures.

Anyway, some two very interesting cases I thought someone might like...

The xclio looks very jet-engine-like. but the side fan looks kind of dumb. Too bad they didn't follow through more with the jet intake theme.

Man that Cooler Master is nice. The doors are really cool. To top it off a windowed side panel would be cool but there aint one. The doors look plastic and flimsy so would porbably break after a while.

i like the idea behind the clio case.. but its huge! plus, i'm wondering what the side fan does: does it act as another intake? or exhaust? cause 2 huge fans blowing air in would do liltle in the long run... could be modded.. but i hate the price tag.. i feel it's too much for what u get.. (u can always mod a normal case and add 2+ huge fans..)
the CM is just another al tower.. with hangar doors

They make one's with windows and in black, but newegg didn't have those yet. The Cooler Master has another feature I didn't notice, the grill over the the bottom portion is made to be removed... I dunno what good that would do, but it seems interesting.

And both of the fans on the xclio are intakes, but why would that be so bad?

..because.. what comes in, must come out.. it's fairly easy to cram some fans in a case..but if they work against each other, not helping eachother.. well, there are 2 examples: 1 is a case made of 80mm fans.. it performed worse than one with the simple atx design.. 2nd ex is maths+physics:

Absurd examples.. for abstractization purposes:

if u have a fan blowing air inside a sealed chamber, the pressure will slightly increase, until the fan no longer works efficiently.. basicly, there is no more room to fill with air, and air will try to find ways out.. tru the fan

if u have a fan blowing air out of a sealed chamber, u create negative pressure.. even worse.. small amounts of air are gonna cool anything.. considering air is not warm already

REAL life:

if u have a chamber with a passive intake e.g. holes, then the exhaust fan will create the same negative pressure, but the holes act as a gate for outside air to enter therefore, u get airflow.. some amount at least..

if u add an active intake, with the same power, or better said CFM, u get a wind-tunnel effect and air goes in and out perfectly.. do this around a heatpipe tower and the cool air will be forced to pass solely tru the fins without a huge/powerfull fan

the clio case takes the bad turn by placing an intake in the front and side, but no equivalent exhausts even if the fans are slow, their size ensures ample CFMs.. so you need smaller fans to draw the air out.. smaller=lowder.. if done..

u could just reverse the side fan to blow out (con: a tad of warm air from hdds would "cool" your gpu).. that's why i would like the case.. but again, not at this price..

if you know what youre doing, that clio case is just asking for a mod. it IS a bit expensive, but holy crap i think its a better canvas than those aerocool aeroengine cases.

i like that clio just because in my mind it is perfect for dismantling and making better.

Actually the Xclio case has excellent airflow. either fans can be switched for intake or exhaust. Also, if you look at the other side of the case and the top of it, you will notice all of the exhaust vents. This allows all of the air out of the case. You can also add an additional 120mm fan in the front and rear of the case. A friend of mine bought this case and it lowered his temps on everything by 6-10 degrees.

Also, you can check out this from Xclio, this case is even better.

lol the Xclio looks like you could fly an airplane with it

i like the way the cooler master looks but the other case looks goofy with the huge fan on the side.
