Installing
the hardware in to the Antec SOLO went very smooth
without any annoyances. Here you see that I chose
to install the HDD using the textile rubber suspension
mount.
In
this shot you see everything assembled and ready
for first power up, I chose to install my HTPC
into the SOLO, it does look very tidy thanks to
that little compartment on the side of the chassis
where all the excessive cables went.
To
our delight everything booted up just fine and
with the tri-cool fan set to low speed I was nothing
less than amazed as to how quiet the SOLO is.
The hard drive was barely audible while booting
to Windows MCE so the suspension mount really
works as it was intended.
And
here in the final shot with everything up and
running, I finally managed to get a better shot
of the “shininess” of the SOLO. It
does fit in quite nicely with my Samsung LCD.
