Nice-looking & very quiet case. I've had a Sonata II and a Sonata III and both were great!

I just built a system with this case on Saturday, and I have to say that I am very impressed with it. The only issues I had were that the case isn't long enough to fit a HD 4870 and a front case fan, and the rear pannel of the case is not removable. Other than that, I was very impressed with the quality of this "budget" case. I love the Optical tray rails, the sideways HDD rails, and the solid construction and rubber feet. I would definitely buy one again.

In the past, read people complaining about getting Delta psus instead of Earthwatts ones in this case.

Maybe you'll do better....Be Strong!

PS. If you don't need a PS, get this Antec NSK44808 for $30.00 + free shipping.

So it has slot for a front case fan? it's hard to tell from thee NewEgg photos. Is it 120mm front case fan?

Yes, it is for a 120mm fan. It isn't a slot so to speak though, it is just a mounting location just inside the harddrive cage. I had to watch a video review of the case to find it.

You should edit your title of your original post (OP) to reflect it then (including coupon code in the OP). ;)

Dog gone you all... I have a Solo and 430w truepower trio psu coming tomorrow for my HTPC build and I have a spare cooler master case in the closet so I don't need any more cases. Yet somehow I now have a sonata 3 on the way as well, dang it all anyway. I actually wanted to save some money this holiday season...

You do realize that you can block the "Hot Deals" forum from showing up on the forum list, don't you? :D

My wife said, "is that box empty" referring to a P182 case box (pretty good size...up in my "cave"). I said "no." She said I thought you already built your computer...and I had to tell her, yeah, but it was a really good deal, got if for fifty bucks shipped, etc...now here is another sonata 3 case for less than $50...omg i have no need for any more of these cases, but you just never know...and it's hard to explain to "normal" people why you need so many random cases...

My UPS man and I are on very good terms.

Those Christmas tips and cold drinks in the summer really pay off. ;)

I kinda hinted around about my spouse returning from work @ 3:00 and it would be nice if I had my packages before she gets home.

It works real well until I get a "sub" for vacations. :(

I wouldn't really call it half off as it goes on sale a LOT for $80 throughout the year from various retailers
