It has been some time since I have reviewed any items from Xclio, so when I got an email from them asking if I would be interested in reviewing two of their cases I of course jumped at the opportunity, the first case we are reviewing today is the Blackhawk Super Tower.
This case is constructed of heavy gauge steel and has plastic front bezel which has room for a total of which has room for up to three 5.25" optical drives. Located on the left side-panel of Blackhawk is massive 250mm blue LED fan which produces huge airflow which is directly targeted at the motherboard, video card and memory. Continuing the direct cooling approach you will find a matching set of 120mm blue LED fans which are targeting the 3.5" and 5.25" drive cages. There are two more 120mm blue LED fans located at the top of the case to remove the warm air from the case and drop the internal temperature to a more comfortable level for the components. All fans and LEDs are controlled by the smart controller located at the top of the case. The LED lights and fans can not only be adjusted but can be turned completely off if you so desire.
