I want to want the Solo for my 17 build. The problem is I find it to be a bit small and the lack of 120mm fan at the front. Two 92mm front and one 120 rear plus 120mm PSU mean more air out than in. I prefer positive than negative pressure. I can go fanless at the front. It wouldn't be a problem in winter. Summer gets really hot here in Vancouver.
So I am looking for a case that is next best if not better than the Solo. Any suggestion? SPCR doesn't have an official case ranking, does it?
What is the second best quiet case behind the Solo?

P183, if the door or chrome-ringed holes on the door do not bother you. These are the only significant downsides to the P183 (other than the larger size, which is a plus in your situation).
I usually use the Solo, but with larger video cards use the P18x. Suspension mounting HDDs is not quite as easy, but not particularly difficult. In every other respect it is a superior case. I especially like the brain-dead-easy air filter cleaning and cable routing.
BTW, if the door is an issue, just remove it...

Hi, for positive pressure the recently reviewed Silverstone Fortress FT02 might fit the bill. I think it's large and roomy and with 3x 180mm fans blowing in it's definitely got positive pressure Comes in black or silver with or with-out window depending on your taste. The downside is it's quite costly, £170~£180) in UK. The Raven II is basically the same functionally but with very different aesthetics (and lower price) which I think are love or hate, personally I'm not keen on it but I would really, really like a FT02. (in silver without window)
[But to much £££ and spent too much time / effort making the (expensive aluminium) case I already have work well]
The FT01 is rather cheaper (£125-£145) and has 180mm intake front and top vs single 120mm out so is also positive pressure, and also SPCR reviewed.
