We first note that the region is bounded by

- $$ y = x^2 - 12 $$,
- $$ y = 0 $$,
- $$ x = -2 $$, and
- $$ x = 2 $$.

For any $$x$$ in $$[-2,2]$$, the $$y$$-coordinate of the curve is
$$
y = x^2-12,
$$
which is negative in this interval (since $$x^2 \leq 4$$ and thus $$x^2-12 \leq -8$$). The region between $$ y=x^2-12 $$ and $$ y=0 $$ is located below the $$x$$-axis. However, when we revolve the region about the $$x$$-axis, the vertical distance between $$y=0$$ and $$y=x^2-12$$ becomes the radius of a typical disk. That is, for a fixed $$x$$, the radius is
$$
R(x)=0-\bigl(x^2-12\bigr)=12-x^2.
$$

Using the disk method, the volume is given by
$$
V=\pi\int_{-2}^{2}\Bigl(R(x)\Bigr)^2\,dx=\pi\int_{-2}^{2}(12-x^2)^2\,dx.
$$

Since the integrand $$(12-x^2)^2$$ is an even function, we can simplify the integral by doubling the integral from 0 to 2:
$$
V=\pi\cdot2\int_{0}^{2}(12-x^2)^2\,dx.
$$

First, expand the integrand:
$$
(12-x^2)^2 = 144 - 24x^2 + x^4.
$$

Thus,
$$
V=2\pi\int_{0}^{2}\left(144 - 24x^2 + x^4\right)\,dx.
$$

Now, compute the antiderivative term by term:
$$
\int_{0}^{2}144\,dx = 144x\Big|_{0}^{2}=144(2)=288,
$$
$$
\int_{0}^{2}24x^2\,dx = 24\cdot\frac{x^3}{3}\Big|_{0}^{2} = 8x^3\Big|_{0}^{2}=8(8)=64,
$$
$$
\int_{0}^{2}x^4\,dx = \frac{x^5}{5}\Big|_{0}^{2} = \frac{32}{5}.
$$

Substitute these into the formula:
$$
\int_{0}^{2}\left(144-24x^2+x^4\right)dx = 288 - 64 + \frac{32}{5} = 224 + \frac{32}{5} = \frac{1120+32}{5}=\frac{1152}{5}.
$$

Thus, the volume is
$$
V=2\pi\cdot\frac{1152}{5}=\frac{2304\pi}{5}.
$$

To express the volume in a decimal approximation, we have
$$
V\approx \frac{2304\pi}{5}\approx 460.8\pi\approx460.8\times3.1416\approx1447.256.
$$

Rounded to the nearest thousandth, the volume is approximately
$$
V\approx 1447.256.
$$
The volume of the solid is approximately 1447.256 cubic units.
