Pretty Good Full Tower Case

dapriest · 12-25-2009, 01:31 PM

Hades, you might have some input on this. I'm looking at this full tower for my computer because right now my mid tower is packed and cramped.

NCIX.com - Buy Azza Solano 1000R Black Full ATX Tower Case 10X5.25 8X3.5INT 2X230MM Red LED Fans & Window No PSU - CSAZ-1000R In Canada.

I like the fact that its cheap and has 8x3.5 bays.

I dont actually know that much about the AZZA cases to be honest dude. These are new to me. I like the HDD racks for cooling but the racks themselves are screw and not screwless which for me is a must. I don't mind screwing on the clips for drives but I refuse to screw drives in like I used to a few years ago.

Do yourself a favour and buy something like this dude. NCIX.com - Buy Cooler Master Haf 932 Full Tower Black EATX Case 6X5.25 1X3.5 5X3.5INT No PSU USB eSATA 1394 Audio - RC-932-KKN1 In Canada.

Excellent case with rave reviews heaps of options and tons of space. I know it's pricey and honestly I used to feel the same way you do.. never spend more than about 100 bux on a case. I spent 200 on the last one and I'm still using it 3 years later with no issues. In fact I'm probably gonna repaint it rather than buy another one.

Also the AZZA case looks like steal rather than aluminum this is unfortunate for cooling. I'm just heading out for xmas breakfast and I don't have more time to do any investigating I'll check back in a couple hours when I get home.

I was reviewing the same case you mention Hades......I believe Tiger Direct had it for around $139.00 UD dollars last time I checked. 220 reviews and currently rated 4.9 on a 1-5 scale.

Looks like an Antec 1200 clone...seems like a good deal to me, but the build quality is probably lacking. I'd agree w/ hades and tell you to get a case thats been proven, but the one you're looking at will certainly get the job done no matter how shitty it turns out to be. The only thing that worries me is replacing those 230mm fans, might be a PITA to find.

Here's a review, and it looks like its steel.

Azza Solano 1000 ATX Full Tower PC Case Review - Introduction - Legit Reviews

Ultimately its got what I want, 8x3.5 bays for drives and its a full tower for around $80 with mir canadian. For me its about getting the job done, not having the bells or whistles.

you are forgetting one thing priest. If you want to swap out one drive you gotta disconnect the other 3. Are you sure that works for you? I've had drives change paths doing that before. Think long term bro.

I'm picking this up tomorrow... the prices finally dropped enough to make it worthy of my hard earned money.

It doesn't matter because I label the cables to the ports, its going be for my main box. Going to have two main drives in raid for my os+important stuff. Then 5x500GB/1TB drives.

are those 300's gonna be as good as there bieng hyped up?, my 275 was rather dissappointing, a good card but i was really expecting more

SpectreGunship · 12-26-2009, 07:06 AM

I'm thinking so, read this, I'll go ahead and Guinea Pig them for you though. Apparently they are coming out in January which is great because that's when my birthday is, now I have two excuses to buy myself a fancy new computer. Was going to go with SLI'd GTX 285s but now I'll wait for these

If you want those 275's to perform better and have the extra cash get a secondary card for physx. 8xxx and above support this feature. Honestly a 8500gs will do this just fine.

I've got a buddy with a 260 Core 216 and a 8400GS in Hybrid SLI. Runs like a dreeeaam.
