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.
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.
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??????
I have a 900, a 902 and a Solano 1000. I find all these morons that complain about "rip-offs" and such quite amusing. How many different forms of computer cases do you expect companies to come up with? I could go on all day listing how many cases are almost identical to others but I rather waste my time ranting on you rather then with you. Everyone has their own opinions on what makes a tower look good and thats what the majority of companies market for. Some companies offer stock performance cooling Azza and Antec is NOT of them but the Solano beats the 900 out for stock cooling hands down. 900 was ok and has now been outclassed by it's cousin Solano...deal with it and stop whining. THAT SAID...wile the solano 1000 is my fav of my cheap towers my favorite towers are my Tt Tsumani Dream and my Tt Kandalf and my Kandalf if with out a doubt my fav case.
Anyway..I'm done ranting and offering my two-cents. I'm sure people will reply but I probably wont see it. Have a great one felow Azza users.

Looks like a nice piece of hardware.
Yeah, it's large, black, and rectangular. It's exactly like the 900.
As well as the side window and fan design, along with the beveled corners on the front. This is a blatant rip off.
WIN.
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.
