Conclusion:

Our past experiences with Antec products always have been positive, and the experience we have had with the SOLO case is no exception. The case is very well put together with no sharp edges anywhere and the layout is also very good with excellent attention to detail. Installing a rather big motherboard such as the Asus P5W DH used in this review didn’t cause any problems. Routing the cables in the Antec SOLO was also very easy mainly because of that little compartment on the right side of the case; I didn’t spend more then 10 minutes hiding the cables and that was with an un-sleeved PSU and as you did see in the pictures it didn’t look too shabby.

The Piano black coating of the SOLO also gives it that extra touch of elegance; the only drawback with the coating is that it is very easily marked, which will slightly distract from the overall aesthetic appeal, especially if like me, you use it in your living room beside a television. Be prepared to keep it clean with some elbow grease!

It is quite honestly hard to find a negative aspect to the Antec SOLO; the only drawback would be that it comes without a power supply. That said, this case is aimed at the enthusiast who generally already have a power supply or who wish to order one to their personal requirements, rather than being forced to use a specific model. So that negative could equally be a strong point.
