Its such a simple thing, but I really appreciate the fact that they took the time to cut out ample slots on the sides and above the motherboard to facilitate cable management behind the motherboard tray. All too often a perfectly nice case is ruined by poor cable management, does not appear to be a problem here.

Looks like a nice piece of hardware.

Antec 900 much?

Yeah, it's large, black, and rectangular. It's exactly like the 900.

Not only that, but the front design, front port area, storage tray, and top fan have an uncanny resemblance...

As well as the side window and fan design, along with the beveled corners on the front. This is a blatant rip off.

Love it or hate it, the 900 set the bar for affordable performance cases. There are going to be many "rip-offs" for quite a while because it's a damn good design. The end result will be better cases for consumers, so I don't understand why people whine about it. For example, this case looks to be almost identical to the 900 but adds some cable management features (which the 900 sorely lacked) a place to mount a bottom fan, a larger side fan, and a nice hard drive cage.

WIN.

This Solano 1000 does remind you P900 or P1200…so it’s not that original, but it has much improved function and more drive bays than P900 AND the inner black paint is pretty cool. I checked the price on ncix.com and directron.com, it’s only $80 after MIR. At this price, it’s a super deal for a case like this, what more can you ask for??????

"Antec 900 much?"

Well, if you can't beat the case itself, just take it and add some more features to it! Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, after all.

Love it or hate it, the 900 set the bar for affordable performance cases. Then Antec designed the 900 II and set the bar even higher:

same outside dimensions as the 900 but with more usable interior space
integrated, well thought-out cable management
integrated fan speed adjusters on the outside of the case for all four included case fans
same excellent build quality and sturdiness
