AzzA Solano 1000 Gaming Chassis Review

There was a plain black 120mm exhaust fan at the top of the back.  Under this were the PCI expansion slots, each with a cover that is removable by taking out a thumbscrew.  To the left of the expansion slots are the two rubber-lined holes for water cooling hoses.  And finally, at the bottom, is the PSU dock.  There are ½” risers at the bottom of the case to hold the power supply up off the bottom, where there are two built-in grills ready to accept two more fans for added cooling.  And the bottom has four long plastic legs to keep it up off the floor for better airflow.

 

Altogether I think that this case does exactly what it intends to.  It cools your hardware quite effectively, even with minimal space behind the motherboard tray.  The huge fans and great airflow make up for any other shortcomings that this chassis might have.  It’s a nice case, aesthetically pleasing, and efficient at cooling.  There’s not much more you can ask for from a company that takes half the $114 you spend on the thing and sends it to underprivileged children.
