Azza Solano 1000 build pictures.
Thought I'd post a few pics of this case and it's wiring management capabilities.
Almost every one or two weeks I slap together a new build for clients, so I go through quite a few cases, though a lot of them are the Sonata III do to the half decent included PSU.
Recently started to take pictures of them thinking of making a web page to promote my business.
Anyways about the Solano 1000.
I got it for $69.99 after $40 MIR from NCIX. I know I'll get the MIR because of the great CS at NCIX. So no worries there.
From the time when I opened it till I finished the build I enjoyed working with it. More than I can say about the Nine Hundred case, horrible cable management.
I'm a bit of a freak when it comes to cable management and take my time to get it as god as possible. It's kind of mi signature around here. This wasn't an issue with the Solano 1000 at all.
I wish they would have cut a hole for the heatsink back plate but maybe in the next revision Q1 of 2010. Also they are changing it so that if fits larger coolers as per their support. As it stands you can only fit coolers up to 150mm tall.
The fans that it comes with are real quiet and seem to push quite a bit of air. No need to look for replacements. It lacks the intake filters but so do most other cases that are way more expensive.
All in all this is a real nice budget case and would recommend it over the Nine Hundred or Nine Hundred Two without a doubt.

About a week after working on the Solano 1000 I used the Lancool PC-K62 in another and felt a lot more cramped in there for sure. But the PC-K62 quality was definitley better.
There isn't quite as much room behind the mobo tray as there is in the solano but still enough to hide the wires.
Here is a link to my Lancool PC-K62 pics

Hardly, I had to get real close to it before I could hear it.
The whole case is actually surprisingly quiet.

You could take off the fan if you really want. There are extremely few cases that have a side fan and allow large heatsinks. However you could buy this 120mm cooler (148mm height):http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...dlist=celebros
It's a good price, looks good with the led, and cools great.

Slapped another build together using this case again and I'm still impressed by what you get for $69 CA after $25MIR and free shipping

This case along with the Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H50 CPU Cooler or the Coolit Systems Eco is a perfect match. The fans push a decent amount of air while the whole system stays very quiet.
I had used a NZXT Sentry 2 Fan Controller with this build but couldn't power the two 230mm big fans lol.
Got my 1st MIR check with in 4 weeks
