It's not often that a previously unheard-of company comes along and launches such a wide product line targeted specifically at a certain niche group of computer enthusiasts. But that is just the scenario that we have today with relative new-comer Azza. While some might say that the PC case and power supply market is already saturated with more than enough choices, sometimes a fresh look is exactly what is needed to jump-start a whole new direction in product development.


The Azza Solano 1000 gaming case is classified as a full tower steel enclosure with particular attention paid to good ventilation and a customizable layout. With dimensions of roughly 21½" x 8" x 20", the Solano might be better described as an oversized mid-tower rather than a full, with all ten 5¼" bays externally accessible. The entire front is comprised of open mesh, similar to other recently reviewed designs from Cooler Master, Silverstone and NZXT. Weight is definitely on the low end for a steel case of this size, at only around 21 pounds fully assembled.
