Gigabyte iSOLO 210 Review

Introduction



I would like to thank CaseKing.de for supplying the review sample.

CaseKing is one of the few companies out there, which will not just sell anything. They only offer hardware that performs well and is of high quality. The shop offers quite a few exclusive parts and devices from all around the world and it is also the official distributor for a long list of well known manufacturers. Their assortment has grown greatly in recent years, while great service and support is still a very important part of the shop philosophy. The website may be in German, but they do ship to most European countries. One of the companies of which CaseKing is the distributor for is GIGABYTE, so you will surely get the latest and greatest from that manufacturer at CaseKing.


Today I have the pleasure of reviewing GIGABYTE's iSOLO 210. It features a clean cut, aluminum & steel front, which makes for a great looking chassis. It is available in silver, grey and black. the iSOLO is part of GIGABYTE's new and extensive case line-up, first presented at Computex this year. We have the black variant on our testbench today.

Packaging


Gigabyte packs the case in a full color package. The front only holds the case name, while the back lists all the features in detail. The cardboard is quite sturdy and the package can be considered quite compact for midtower cases.


Further information can be found on either side of the box. One side reveals which color the case has, and also mentiones if a power supply is included, while the other lists the afore mentioned specs in detail. There are holes on theses sides, to make transportation a bit easier.


Another interesting feature is the text on the bottom of the package. The best way to take a case out of its package is to let gravity do the work, by turning it over and pulling up the cardboard box. That way you will see the above message while unpacking.


Gigabyte has chosen to secure the iSOLO 210 with tight fitting Styrofoam spacers. The case is further protected by a thin plastic bag.
