Yeah, that's a good deal. Just the PSU is going for $39.99 + free shipping at newegg. It's like getting the case for the cost of shipping.
 
Awesome deal! The inferior NSK4480 is also on sale for $39.99 at Frys.

This looks just like the solo minus the drive bungies and sound absorbing lining. Seems like a great deal with the psu... wish I had some reason to need a new case right now but with two nib in my closet I think my wife would kill me.

Good find anyway OP.
 
That's a great price 😎 From Newegg's photo gallery of this case, it looks like the drives and drive cage could be pretty close to the end of a long video card; that's already an issue with my Antec SLK3000B. So for those who've got big video cards, especially cards with PCI-Express power fittings that face toward the front of the case, just be aware.
 
Yay, time for free shipping. Everyone who ordered before FS, call Frys tomorrow and they will more than likely credit you with shipping cost.
 
Looks like the nsk6580 is gone......hurry if you want an nsk4480, these awesome cases will both be gone!!

Wish I could have got a spare 6580 too 🙁.

Click to expand...

The NSK6580 and the Solo are similar in size and shape, but they are not the same.

- The NSK6580 is 18.3" (H) x 8.25" (W) x 18.6" (D). The Solo is 17" (H) x 8.1" (W) x 18.5" (D).

- Without the power supply, the NSK6580 weighs about one pound more than the Solo, even though the Solo "feels" like a heavier case. Both are "solid", especially compared to another mini/mid-tower case like the Three Hundred, which weighs about five pounds less (since it has so many air holes).

- The NSK6580 has a matte finish. The Solo has a glossier finish.

- The front bezel of the Solo is like a door that swings open so you can clean the filter and access the internal drive bays from the front. (You have to remove the side panel to reach the tabs that hold the front bezel in place.)

- The side panels are different. The NSK6580 has a CPU duct and a side vent for your video card(s); the Solo does not.

- The Solo includes an extra 120mm TriCool fan, which is odd because the two front fan mounts accommodate 92mm fans.

- The Solo has a "cable management system".

- Equipped with an Antec TruePower Trio 430, the Solo actually seems subjectively louder to me than the NSK6580 (equipped with an EarthWatts 430).

That's all I can think of. If you put both of them under your desk, I don't know if you'd notice many differences. It just depends on your own preferences.
