A rather novel way of installing the 3.5" drives.

the HD rack is neat

Checked at Newegg.com, they are listing the Sonata as available ($108.00) but have a will notify you when unit is in stock.

Sounds like a good case from the review. Being a webdeveloper a little more quiet will be appreciated.

Will be interesting to get one for the home office!

Should be quite convenient for those accessing their HDDs frequently and/or those in the computer service...

I don't know if I like the cover on ports and I would like to see it with a window on it, but it does look nice and I like the dust filter and 120mm fans. I also like to see a good 380w Trupower PS to back it all up with. The black case looks pretty nice (and it is really black for once).

Hey, that's a smart little case. I totally disagree - a window would go against the whole design ethos of the thing (i.e. understated and stylish!).

They have a desktop-format HTPC case out as well. Looks pretty cool for a PC case, but would stand out like a sore thumb amongst AV separates.

MuFu.

The Sonata is stylish without being gimmicky. The HD mounts are truly innovative. Ditto to 120mm fans and filters.

Looking forward to getting one for my next 'puter.

This one isn't too bad.. I just got this about a month ago








Here are the USB and Firewire ports in the front.



Very nice case. Easy quick release harddrive bay / CD Rom-DVD Rom. Fans everywhere. Comes with two fans in the rear, Two fans in the powersupply and a place to put three fans in the front with basiclly no air resistance. Very impresive and lots of room

I do like their cases. I have the little brother of that very same case (but also an older version without the front posts. I only have room for 1 rear and two front, but it is built like a tank and very easy to work on.

I do love the "Antec" air holes along the top on both sides and think it would look really cool with a blue cold cathode behind the holes. Two Blue Antec LED 120mm fans would look finish the case off nicely. I guess I could live without a window, but even a smaller window would look nice. Somethin taking up the bottom 2/3 of the case starting just behind the hard drives.
