Wow. Are you sure you don't have 2 day shipping selected? I know it often defaults to that. Just change to ground shipping.
This is a good deal even without rebate because it's already $20 cheaper than Newegg. I love the case - have two of them and they are well ventilated and very easy to build a really quiet computer inside of it. Quality is top notch too. Just get a quiet PSU to go with it and two quiet 92mm fans for the front.

Cooling is mediocre at best and the way in which the sides lift off annoys me to no end. You have to remove the top with (2) thumbscrews, and then the sides lift up and off. It's just a little pet peeve, but I wish in hindsight I would have gotten something else
Your wife's case is probably one of the Antec NSK's that looks like Solo but is quite different.
Yup, what msi1337 described is NOT the Solo. The cooling is pretty decent on the Solo and the case sides have two captive thumb screws. Undo them and the side panels pivot outwards, hinging at the front panel. Once you swing them out a little bit, they can be removed. Very easy.
I may have to get a third Solo. :Q A trio of solos.
