AZZA Fusion 3000

Well, due to the overwhelming response asking for more input... I'll go ahead and give you a very short summary of my impression:

It is NOT a well designed case. Do not buy it.

- The mounting bracket is missing holes for some boards (mine in particular) -- I had to drill holes and thread them to use it at all.
- The hard drive bay hot-swap cartridges pop open on their own and do not seat very reliably.
- The mic connector on the top is flaky, and you have to get the connection in JUST right or you only get one channel etc.
- Overall the material seems cheap, like a toy.
 
I have an Azza case, but it was a $20 shell shocker with free shipping... I suppose I don't have a right to complain about it, but lets just say its definitely a cheap case. If you have really, really low expectations to start with, you'll find the case to be good though. I just needed something to house my spare parts hat I barely ever use.

Its sad to see them cutting corners on their higher end products though. That's not exactly how you make loyal customers.
 
Yeah - if I'd bought a cheap case, I'd have no grounds for complaint... but this one was supposedly good, I even found a good review of it. It downplayed the "ran out of money during design"...

I found some nice SuperMicro cases, but they are a LOT more expensive. I'm still considering switching to one of them.
 
I owned a Solano 1000 and my gear was quickly covered in dust, cable management was pretty ratty and the plastic and paint felt very cheap. I sold it and spluged on a Silverstone FT02, and the difference in build quality and functionality is massive.
