Antec SOLO vs CM Stacker

[hypeMarked]

Hi all,

I was wondering which case should I get for a dual opteron server. The CM Stacker works out to be ~100 after MIR at SVC and the Antec SOLO works out to be ~58 after MIR at Frys. What I want is room for expansion and the ability to keep stuffs cool when I have ~5 hdds or so in the case.

Thanks,

The Solo is fairly small. I would say, make sure that you can fit all your parts in the Solo.. and all your future parts. If you can fit them in, then go for the Solo.

I've never had a CM Stacker, but I was reading about them a few days ago, and I was impressed by two things...the steel construction and the fan locations. It looks as though it should have excellent air circulation.

I guess I have to go with the Stacker then. The thing is that I don't know what part to, but I do want the case that provides the most flexibility. Also, the Stacker has BTX support as well, but any other suggestions/comments are welcome.

The Solo and the stacker aren't even of the same species... One is for a compact, relavively quiet, personal system and the other is for over-the-top, uber systems.

The Stacker if you want the extra room and better airflow...
