Thoughts on the Antec Sonata

[mrfederalist]

Having a hard time making a decision on the case.

Looking for a steel case.

I was thinking of the antec sonata and Crashman pointed out a INWIN 430 case on one of the other threads.

Antec offers a lot more drive bays (am I really going to have 4 HDs?) but it has a smaller PS.

Withing 25 bucks of each other.

Putting an AMD 64 32-35+, Neo2 N3 on board.

Experiences?

Regards.

Between those 2 I'd go for the antec case. I have delt with that case a lot and it is fairly decent. The only thing I didn't like about it was it's lack of intake fan but it didn't seem to have any overheating problems because of it. I worked on a 3 labs of 3.06ghz p4 machines w/ those cases and they never had heat issues. That antec true380 powersupply that comes in that case should be fine for your machine. The antec truepower power supplies are very quiet and beefy power supplies.
