System Setup
Since the XION II was already in a working condition, we’ll not look too closely at the assembly of this system. Just be aware that, as closely as possible, all the components and locations were matched between the two assemblies.
The XCLIO case comes without a PSU and there are no other fans included other than the one 360 MM side cover fan. As you’ve seen in the preceding photos, the case comes in a jet black, pearl finish that’s very appealing. The side covers are held in place with thumbscrews for easy removal and installation.
