Just wanted to say thanks - Smokey - 03-04-2011
Just built a computer with your mainstream base.
Had the PSU Already.
Case -Azza Solano 1000
Motherboard- Asrock Pro USB3.0
Processor- Intel i5 760 2.8 Gigz quad core
Ram- 8 gigz (2 x 4gigz) G. Skill Sniper series 1600 mhz
Cooler- Zalman CNPS9700
Graphics card- HiS Radeon 6950 2 gigz PCI-E 2.1
Operating System- Windows 7 Professional OEM
Total was $1090 with my own power supply. $60 dollars off of mail in rebates. Bringing grand total down to $1030
Was on a bit of a budget.
Was playing on a borrowed Tower and had to get it back to him as I found out I have his computer after his son took his back from him. Therefor I couldn't wait for the Sandy Bridge Chipsets to ship out.
Can I ask why the Azza Solano 1000 isn't recommended under cases for mainstream builds? The case is amazing and with mail in rebate runs $100. $120 without it.
Wouldn't have this build without your advice in the mainstream builds.
Thanks,
Philip

Congrats on your new PC.
As for the Azza Solano 1000, that's a good question. It's mostly because I didn't see it before, but I just took a look at it and it looks like a great choice, so I'll be sure to recommend it in future updates
Do you have any pictures of your PC that you'd like to share with us?
Cheers,
Mathieu
