Hm sounds good. I was considering the Sonata III but I wasn't sure if it would keep my parts nice and cool as my Sonata II made my other setup overheat (but then again, it was a Prescott setup so I shouldn't have expected any less). Hope you enjoy your new build :D

I forgot,its also small. the 8800 GTX will not fit unless you modify the case. here's a pic

It won't fit without modification

Edit: not my case but a member from another forum ;)

*Horrified at the modification's grossness*

I know what you mean :( I love the case so much i didnt do any modification on it. Dont wanna mess with the black glossy paint job:) Normally, i would use my dremmel everytime i get a new case but this one is off limits :)

last time It was the case and now... the ..... motherboard? *Eyes twitching*
I think he's showing sympathy for the pain it must be, to get good cable management, with a power arrangement like that.

Heh you guys never doubt how a case can affect how silent a machine is...

My 3 120mm fans and a pci slot cooler inside my other system-
Intel 915 @ 2.8
Antec Sonatta2
Antec Smart Power 2 450watt
2 15k scsi 320 drives

After I added the sound dampening to this machine and now its being used as a server its a dead whisper... That case he is using is much quieter than this old case, and he has much less fanage, let alone missing 15k drives... I don't know how many of you have heard those in most cases, they are like industrial warehouse loud. Mine aren't even mounted in suspension, and that really helps.

******************
Looks good, I actually contemplated buying that case when I got my Lian-Li.
*Which by the way is also pretty darn quiet even with my 2 1950's *zalmans*
