I think it's a great deal for this price. The quality is top notch and it is really easy to build a quiet system with this case.

Personally, I prefer the Antec NSK6580. It is similar to the Antec Solo on the outside, but I think it has a better interior design.

MUCH better :thumbsup::laugh:
Sorry, but it looks like the NSK6580 sux as much as the SOLO on interior design.Originally posted by: jiffer
Blain, you linked to the Antec NSK4480 ("a super mini tower"). I was talking about the NSK6580 ("a super mid tower").
Here's the Solo:

The Antec NSK4480 is made of 0.8mm cold-rolled steel, which is the same kind of steel used in the Solo (and the P182, etc.). I never thought it was flimsy. In fact, it's pretty heavy for a compact minitower case.Originally posted by: hans007
unfortunately the solo has much better build quality than the 4480.
the 4480 might be the crappiest built case antec makes. the metal is very flimsy.

The Solo has sound-deadening material on the side panels, which might make the metal "feel" thicker. And without question, the Solo is a much more expensive case, which also contributes to the feeling that it is a better made case.

How about a Rocketfish Aluminum full tower case? That thing is huge. Would it be roomy enough for you? I've got a couple I need to get rid of.

Sure you do. That's why you have an opinion.Originally posted by: hans007
i dunno
Yes, you have identified the reason why it sometimes rattles. It can be fixed by tightening up the tines at the bottom of the two side panels. I also line the holes where the other tines go with small pieces of electrical tape IF I don't plan to open the case frequently (since it makes the panels more difficult to remove).Originally posted by: hans007
i have had an nsk4480 , and a nsk3480 . they on paper have the same thickness of steel etc, but you can tell the 4480 is just not built as well even compared to the 3480. therse so much flex in the panels and they even rattle if you have a lot of fans. you might be right it could be the sound deadening, but i think also the way the side panels go on the solo is a lot better than the 4480 (4480 has them hanging from the top which i think is why it sometimes rattles)

So why are you in this thread again? If you dont like the case then pass it, seemed like maybe you had a better case in mind for the price and you don't.

I own a SOLO case and want to give my fellow members a heads-up on what they might encounter, in case they are contemplating the purchase of one.

Don't you find the case a bit cramped, working inside?

What makes this a "Hot Deal" is the fact that there isn't a lower price anywhere else for an Antec Solo.
