Antec Case - Need Advice

[Nighthawk168]

Hey Guys,

2 weeks ago I got the Antec Performance Plus 1080AMG case (430 W)

This week I built a computer for my neighbor using the Antec Sonata 380W case, it is damn quiet, looks sleek, and has great hard drive mounts for SATA esp.

I really like the sonata and the Antec 1080AMG is awesome too, but it is like 12 lbs heavier

Should I take back my 1080AMG and get the Sonata? Will 380 W be enough for the following components?

Sonata Case
Performance Plus Case
System Components:

ASUS P4C800 Deluxe
P4 2.8C
Corsair PC-3500 512MB TwinX
Seagate 80GB SATA
PNY Geforce FX 5600 Ultra (needs extra power via 4 pin molex)
Plextor 48x24x48

sonatas a bit cramped. you shoulda bought an aluminum case though

one nice thing is that it doesnt have so many cables...that the airflow is unimpeeded

I just got a Sonata and love it. One problem I had was the additional 120mmx25mm fan. I went and bought a cheap one from SVC with the SVC house brand. BIG MISTAKE. It mounts really weird compared to the Antec fan. I'm just wondering what additional 120mm fan you used in that Sonata, if any?

A good 300W PSU can power that system of yours.

It doesnt come with 2 fans?

Yes, the Sonata will handle it. I have one and a similar setup.

Asus P4P800 Deluxe
Pentium 4 2.8C
2x 256MB Corsair XMS
Radeon 9800 Non Pro
120GB WD 8mb Cache
CDRW
TV Tuner

My system would be fine even on a 300W PSU if its from a good company like Antec, in which case it is.
