This is the same case as the Sonata Designer ($129) and Plus($160).

550W Basiq Modular $60 alone.
500W Basiq $60 alone.
430W Trio $60 alone.
I went with the 550 because it has the most watts, modular, and has the best reviews.

Hehe I paid 13 dollars after rebate for this case last black friday. I opened the box to see what it was like and packed it back up and haven't touched it since. It's a high quality case.

Why? What at waste, hehe.

1% FW CashBack too. I decided to support FW and not MS.

They don't make cases like this any more, not even Antec. Of course I mean a conventional case with great engineering and the highest level of quality and construction. My Solo is also just sitting, NIB. The white P150 houses one of my Opteron 165. The P150 is cleaner and looks better (IMO).

I am waiting for DFI to release their mATX 790G mobo. It will go into the mini P18(2). I don't know why Antec calls it mini P180 .. Going back to this Solo, buy it and cherish it.

I have the Antec Solo case. My only complaint about the case is the cheap construction of the reset button. It's made of cheap, thin plastic and will break if you press it hard enough times. Be VERY gentle when you press reset. This is the only case where I ever had a reset button break on me. Antec did send me a replacement, but due to the design they had to send me the entire front bezel as you can't just replace the reset button itself.

Great case. Have had one for a year and just bought another last week. The only complaint, as wutsdadealio stated, is the reset button. I don't see how someone could not break it if you push it often. That aside, it's my favorite case currently.

Wow, you must have a lot of problems if you have to push your reset button that much.
I don't remember pushing my reset button more than 5 times in 2 years.

Thanks!

I haven't had any problem with the reset button, but I rarely use it. New Linux slogan: "Fewer resets!"

This is a great case though. If you get one, consider buying a 92mm fan or two to put in front of the drive cage.

Note that it looks like this same case will be offered on Monday (Labor Day) only by Fry's for $40 AR (the rebate is for $40, only valid for purchases from Fry's - their current price is ~$100, so that probably means that the Labor Day sale price will be $80 - $40 MIR = $40 AR). It's not clear whether this will be a B&M-only deal or whether it will be available on the Internet as well. Also note that the Newegg deal has free shipping, whereas that may not be the case at Fry's (if it's available on the web at all).

See the FW thread here for whatever advance info is available...

Yeah, I saw that too. But with the price of tax and gas, I'd rather buy from Newegg with free shipping. Also, $20 extra for a quality PSU can't be beat.

I felt the same way, and so I bought it from Newegg earlier this evening... (Thanks, OP!)

Guess I set myself up for that huh?

I tried the link and it shows $99 plus $18.99 shipping or about twice the price of the OP.

You're right. I updated the OP.
