Resumo: Not if I can't get customer support or parts.
Prós: Plenty of room. Looks good. Quite.
Cons: USB 2 ports broke/quit working on the front panel and when I tried to get a new module from Antec at 800-222-6832, I had to leave a voicemail that they never answered. Called again a week later on all phone menu choices and got nothing but voice mail. Looks like they're no longer in business from...
Resumo: With all the recent negative reviews, I thought I would say that I was happy with the case. It's quiet, doesn't look terrible, and was easy to install everything. I built a 6th Gen Core i7 integrated graphics system (prioritizing low noise) and it's been quiet and awesome.
Prós: - As quiet as expected - Just enough cable management (not over the top, not underwhelming) - Doesn't look like Transformer (and looks better than the photos)
Cons: - Seems like my front-panel audio ports don't work as expected. I get garbled audio, and I don't think it's a motherboard problem. - The front panel clips seem a bit thin.
Resumo: I would like a replacement of this front USB 3.0 cable to the front ports if possible. It would not be practical for me to send the whole case back since I had just built this computer. Hopefully just the front port connection cable will be replaced.
Prós: Silent case. Black finish looks nice.
Cons: I received this case and one of the front USB 3.0 ports does not work. The bottom one works but the top does not. When I plug in a USB 3.0 in front, it says an unrecognized device is installed. Checked all drivers and connections and was correct. I believe the usb 3.0 cable to the ports itself is...
Resumo: This is my 4th Antec case. This one has lining inside. I have another Antec case with lining. That one also has resonating noise problems. So I suggest people avoid the Antec cases with linings.
Prós: simple and neat.
Cons: noisy. I wanted quiet computers. First build one with Sonata Proto. But the front drive covers do not fit well. They could barely stay on. So I bought this SOLO II for the 2nd build. But this one is noisy. I think the case resonates with my fans and makes a humming noise. It's not loud, but it ge...
USB 3.0 front panel connectors not working and crappy customer support

Resumo: Other than the USB 3.0 front panel ports not working, this is a really nice case. I called Antec customer service and was left on hold for 3 hours and I finally gave up and hung up. Then I filled out a trouble ticket on the Antec customer support webpage but haven't heard back from Antec.
This is a nice quiet case with plenty of room to work with

Resumo: This is a nice quiet case with plenty of room to work with. I definitely liked the cable management available in the case, allowing me to make the cleanest interior I have done in a computer build.
Prós: Great looking case that gives me just what I need without any unnecessary frills.
Cons: My experience is almost identical to other recent reviews with regard to the side panels. The thin, sound dampening polycarbonate layer arrived almost completely off on both sides. I pressed them back on, but they peeled off again. Two of the drive brackets had gotten loose during shipping and we...
Resumo: This would have been a 4 star product until I dealt with their support. While I haven't had to fight with them I have had to keep after them to make sure this eventually gets resolved. I would not expect this build quality from a case that will run you nearly $130 once it's all said and done.
Prós: Nice finish, clean design.
Cons: The product quality seems like it's on par for a $60 case. The drive bay inserts that you see on the side of the case (4 little oval plastic pieces) are very flimsy. I removed them all and 1 of them had a clip snap off. The other 3 had visible white stress marks on the plastic and you can tell th...
Resumo: I had a few minor issues such as the sound dampening on both case panels being curled up. I also had some broken drive bay inserts. I contacted support and 4 weeks later I had 2 new side panels. There wasn't much padding in the package so both side panels were damaged.
