Antec SOLO II Testing Methodology Since there doesn’t exist a synthetic benchmark for how good cable management is yet, I’m afraid you’ll have to run with my own experiences with the case. Focusing on a few key features, such as strength, noise and cooling and anything else that springs to mind, I’ll run down my views of the chassis and tell you what I think. Results Strength The case does have some external plastic parts, but they’re all nice glossy high quality stuff and there really isn’t too much, just down the sides of the front. The case does feel heavy, much heavier than other Mid-ATX cases I have used. Everything feels sturdy and strong. The paint appears to be of a high quality too, it’s a lovely finish and it shouldn’t scratch too easy either. The only downside I’ve found is that it’s a bit of a finger print magnet but all similar cases like this are, and any marks are easy to remove compared to other cases like my Corsair 700D which can take quite a lot of elbow grease to clean. Noise and Cooling The case has many noise dampening features, such as the durable 1.0 mm SECC / polycarbonate top & side panels, the hard disk tray mounts with silicone grommets and the suspension mounting system. These combined with the fact that it only has a single 120mm fan that runs at either 600 or 1000 RPM all contribute to making the Antec Solo II a very quiet case indeed. I added another two fans to the front of the case, one in the area below the hard disk, which helps keep the graphics card area cool and one in the hard disk cage. I found that only a low RPM fan is needed for that as hard disks only produce a small amount of heat. I feel that a second fan, either in the hard disk area or below that would make a worthwhile extra. The case performed very quietly, I was surprised with how little noise everything generated. One thing to watch out for if using one of the Antec Kuhlers is to ensure that the fan is set up to exhaust the air out of the case. I made this mistake, thinking it wouldn’t make too much of a difference, but once I started gaming, things heated up inside the case quickly. Flipping the fan completely sorted the issue and the GPU saw a drop from 78C to just 54C, quite a difference. Features The case does not have much cable management or ‘tool less’ features but does have some more interesting features that aren’t available on other systems. The USB 3.0 ports and USB 3.0 connector are great to see too. I also really liked the dust filters, they didn’t appear to be very restrictive but definitely pick up the dust. Conclusion The cooling is perhaps a little disappointing, but as expected, noise levels are very good. Quality and looks are also top, very impressive. Building the PC was easy, as easy as building any other computer. There were no notable difficulties. That said, unless you use a very small system due to the confined interior, water cooling in this case would not be easy. The case visually looks very professional and understated. I really like the front panel layout, everything on this case appears to make sense, nothing unnecessary or much I would change. It would make a great purchase for someone looking to spend a little more on a case that will likely last a long time and will continue to be compatible with the latest hardware. At £99.98 on Overclockers.co.uk, I feel the price is slightly high although you are paying for and getting a high quality product. I feel it represents fair value for money but you could probably get similar results with a less expensive case. Pros Good build Quality Looks understated and professional Lack of noise Cons Price is too high on this one Only one fan included Lack of cable management and ‘tool less’ features

Antec SOLO II Tástáil Modheolaíocht Ós rud é nach bhfuil ann ina thagarmharc sintéiseacha ar conas é a bhainistiú cábla maith go fóill, tá mé eagla go mbainfidh tú a reáchtáil le mo thaithí féin leis an gcás. Ag díriú ar roinnt gnéithe tábhachtacha, ar nós torann neart, agus fuarú agus aon rud eile go Springs a intinn, beidh mé mo thuairimí a chur ar siúl síos an chassis agus insint duit cad a cheapann liom. Torthaí Neart Dhéanann an cás go bhfuil roinnt páirteanna seachtracha plaisteach, ach tá siad go léir stuif deas snasta chaighdeán ard agus tá i ndáiríre i bhfad ró-, díreach síos an thaobh an tosaigh. Ní bhraitheann an cás trom, i bhfad níos troime ná an Mheán-ATX gcásanna eile agam a úsáidtear. Gach rud a mhothaíonn sturdy agus láidir. An chuma air péint a bheith ar chaighdeán ard freisin, tá sé ina bailchríoch álainn agus níor chóir é scratch ró-éasca ach an oiread. Is é an downside ach mé amach go bhfuil sé beagán de maighnéad cló finger ach ngach cás den chineál céanna mar seo iad, agus aon marcanna atá éasca a bhaint i gcomparáid le cásanna eile cosúil le mo 700D Corsair is féidir a ghlacadh go leor leor de ramhar elbow a glan. Torann agus Fuarú Tá an cás go leor gnéithe torann mhaolaíonn, mar shampla an durable 1.0 barr mm SECC / polycarbonate & painéil taobh, an ghairis tráidire dhiosca crua le Grommets silicone agus an córas fionraí gléasta. Seo in éineacht leis an bhfíric go bhfuil sé ach amháin lucht leanúna 120mm a ritheann ag ceachtar ISN 600 1000 nó go léir a chuireann le déanamh an Solo Antec II le cás an-chiúin, go deimhin. Dúirt mé freisin go ceann dhá lucht leanúna chun tosaigh ar an gcás, ceann amháin i limistéar thíos an diosca crua, rud a chabhraíonn a choinneáil ar an cheantar cárta grafaicí fionnuar agus ceann amháin i Cage dhiosca crua. Fuair mé amach go bhfuil ach lucht leanúna ISN íseal ag teastáil le haghaidh gur mar a tháirgeadh dioscaí crua ach méid beag de teasa. Is dóigh liom go bhfuil lucht leanúna an dara, bíodh sé i limistéar an diosca crua nó faoi bhun a bheadh a dhéanamh breise fiúntach. An cás a dhéantar an-ciúin, Bhí ionadh orm leis an gcaoi ar gach rud beag torann a ghintear. Rud amháin a faire amach do más rud é ag baint úsáide as ceann de na Kuhlers Antec chun a chinntiú go bhfuil an lucht leanúna ar bun chun sceite an t-aer amach as an cháis. Rinne mé botún seo, ag smaoineamh nach mbeadh sé i bhfad ró-de difríocht, ach nuair a thosaigh mé ag cearrbhachas, rudaí a théitear suas taobh istigh an cás go tapa. Flipping an lucht leanúna in eagar go hiomlán ar an cheist agus an GPU chonaic titim ó 78C 54C go dtí díreach, go leor le difríocht. Gnéithe Ní dhéanann an cás a bheith i bhfad bainistíochta cábla nó 'uirlis níos lú' gnéithe ach roinnt gnéithe níos suimiúla nach bhfuil ar fáil maidir le córais eile a bheith acu. Is iad na calafoirt USB 3.0 agus USB 3.0 Ceanglóir iontach a fheiceáil freisin. Thaitin liom freisin i ndáiríre an scagairí deannaigh, ní raibh siad cosúil go bhfuil an-sriantach ach is cinnte go Pioc suas an deannaigh. Conclúid Is é an fuaraithe b'fhéidir beag díomá, ach mar a bhí súil, go bhfuil leibhéil torainn an-mhaith. Cáilíocht agus Breathnaíonn freisin barr, an-suntasach. Ag tógáil ar an ríomhaire a bhí éasca, chomh furasta le tógáil aon ríomhaire eile. Ní raibh aon deacrachtaí suntasacha. É sin ráite, mura mbaineann tú úsáid as córas an-bheag mar gheall ar an taobh istigh teoranta, ní bheadh fuaraithe uisce sa chás seo a bheith éasca. An cás Breathnaíonn amhairc an-gairmiúla agus understated. Liom buíochas an leagan amach painéal tosaigh, is cosúil gach rud ar an gcás seo chiall a dhéanamh, rud nach bhfuil gá nó i bhfad ba mhaith liom a athrú. Bheadh sé a dhéanamh cheannach mór do dhuine ag iarraidh a chaitheamh beagán níos mó ar bhonn cás a deireanach ar dóigh le fada an lá agus leanfaidh sé ar aghaidh le bheith ag luí leis na crua-earraí is déanaí. Ag £ 99.98 ar Overclockers.co.uk, is dóigh liom go bhfuil an praghas beagán ard cé go bhfuil tú ag íoc le haghaidh agus ag fáil a táirge ardchaighdeán. Is dóigh liom go léiríonn sé luach cóir ar airgead ach d'fhéadfá a fháil is dócha torthaí den chineál céanna le cás níos saoire. Son Dea-tógáil Cáilíochta Looks understated agus gairmiúla Easpa torann CONS Praghas ró-ard ar an gceann seo Ach amháin lucht leanúna san áireamh Easpa bainistíochta cábla agus 'uirlis níos lú' gnéithe
