Antec Solo $20 AMIR Today Only

[Rockhound1]

Fry's has the Solo on sale for $60 - $40 MIR during their one-day only President's sale. This is a B&M only deal. Pretty good for the Solo case.

It's just B&M, not their online store. Ropads

Nice. Finally I can replace my ugly xaser .

 

[DSF]

B&M meaning brick & mortar, i.e. a physical store.

 

[Burrich]

Doh, so much for my reading ability. Thanks for the heads up.

No PSU?

Just got through building a secondary system around this case. Very spacious, silicon mounts for hard drives, wire management hooks for excess wiring, included 120mm tricool fan is nice and quiet, 2x92mm front fan mounts with easily removable and washable screen, no sharp edges , and has sound dampening material on both side panels.

I've worked with a lot of cases over the years and this is one of my all-time favorites. If it had a locking door for the optical drives (I have two small children), I probably would have put my main system in it.

this happens to be my all time favorite, preferred it to much bigger and spacious P180 from the same company. The included tricool was a tad too loud for me, but the machine runs quiet & cool @3.5ghz with just 1 yate loon 120mm on ninja so I am happy camper

Every Antec Case I've ever bought has come with a PSU, unless they've changed in the past couple of years you should get one.


Edit: Apparently they don't put PSUs in all of their cases. Guess I've just been lucky.

IIRC, those 900 deals were w/o PSU I believe. this is too hot to be true if it does come with a PSU. come to think of it, I had to get separate PSUs for both my solo and P180...

The Solo does NOT come with a PSU.

Grab an EA-500 for $35 at Newegg and you'll be set. This case is an excellent combination of looks and performance without taking up a lot of space.

Yikes. I picked this up too. 20.00 AR is a steal. I have a half dozen cases now just waiting for computers to be built. Jeez, I am starting to get like Zap.

They also had the 430W TruePower for 39.99 OTD, so someone could have a pretty nice case and PS for 60.00 AR.

Okie... guess they did change. :-X Will edit my post to say it

Thanks Op! Just picked this up at my Fry's. Man, what a beautiful case.

You'll have to stand in line. I can hardly walk around in my second floor extra bedroom, I mean computer "storage" room. It's spreading to downstairs.

Just put the case together. Great case for $20! The rear fan is not quiet at high and med levels. The suspension HD mounting is nice. The hd seek noise went from loud to nearly silent. Case is pretty heavy but i'm not going to be moving it around so no worries. I added two quiet 92mm fans in the front. Easy access to the filter.

Add me to the "all time favorite" list for some Solo luvin'. Wait, that didn't sound right. I also feel that the included TriCool is too noisy for a quiet system, even when set to Low. Undervolted Yate Loons and Scythe Ninjas FTW!

I'm a moving target.

well hey, you know how the old saying goes... great minds think alike
in the same vein, I am also very tempted to walk in your footsteps, as in stocking up PSUs and cases from those antec dealios beyond any sense of need or justification. then again, I am just one the many that are putting up futile resistance at one point I succumbed to the urge and convinced my friend to build a system around that NSK4480+EW380 I added to your consolidated antec deals thread. score! :laugh:
