Antec Sonata vs. Enermax Case

[SilverLock]

The Antec Sonata is $129
The Enermax (under a different name) is $109 Link

The Antec comes with the 380W Silent Power Supply and the Enermax case comes with a 450W UNEEC Power Supply - which I am told is silent but I can't find any info on it.

What would your recommendations be?

well I have never seen the Enermax before so i don't know much about it. However I do have a Sonata and its great ... no complaints at all ... cool, quiet, and looks really good with that black high gloss finish.

1 vote Sonata.

that enermax is only 60 bucks. Alas, i have the Sonata because it was touted as silent and the hdd mounts face the side panel. I love this case.

The $60 price you see there is sans power supply so the $109 for a 450W isn't bad... though I value silence and a two fan PS is bound to make more noise.

yeah i saw that. but i figured if you bought a PSU other than what's listed you'd snoop around diffferent hardware sites for low cost / quiet PSU. Check the article on anandtech about psus.
