The Bandi Phoenix is a phoenix indeed. This Azza Solando 1000R case came to use with a couple of good PC parts his past owner wanted to sell. Most of the parts were salvageable and sold to the highest bidder, but the case being big and more of a personal taste wasn't going anyway.  

While being neglected, covered in dust, cobwebs and rust its owner gave us a good deal, so we took care of it. We painted it, cleaned and gave it some deserving R&R. Now our phoenix rises, the Bandi Phoenix. More powerful than before and assigned some of the biggest tasks.

Hints for building a similar PC:

  1. Even though it's a spacy case, you'll need 3.5 to 2.5 HDD adapters for SSDs or hybrid drives.

  2. You can't ignore the big fan on the windows and on the top, you'll have to build around them.

  3. Don't install a micro-atx, unless you want your case to look ridiculously large.
