Most computer enthusiasts would remember the Antec Solo case; a product released nearly 7 years ago which featured a very subtle, Spartan appearance combined with almost every noise suppression system available at the time. The first version of the Solo was not very fancy but it certainly was a very effective case, which is why it took Antec over 6 years to replace the design. Today we are going to have a look at the successor of the original Solo, the Solo II, which also emphasizes on quiet computing. Let us see if it is a worthy replacement of the much renowned case it supersedes.
