Xilence is a relatively new company, which focuses mainly on cases, power supplies, and several cooling products. As the title suggests, Bit-Tech has just reviewed the Xilence X1 gaming case, how does it fare? Let’s find out!

Here’s what they had to say:

“All-in-all, the X1 gaming case is an interesting little beastie from Xilence. Its exterior look is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, akin only to Marmite in the way it inspires both anger and adoration, while its interior is an odd mixture of roominess and useless features. Ultimately, it won't be the chassis of choice for everyone, but buyers who do pick one up will be able to turn out some modest performance with a minimum of fuss, meaning the X1 is a decent all-rounder though it excels in nothing at all.”


Ok, so not exactly a glowing review. The aspect that bothers me the most is the thermal performance, particularly when the included heat shroud is used. Overall, I think it is clear that there are better cases on the market in the ~$80 USD price range, for example the Thermaltake Soprano VB1000BWS.
