Antec sonata vs. slk3000?

The sonata is about $20 more than the slk3000 case - is it worth the $ for the 380W true power? OK - stop laughing... I'm STILL running a oc'd k62+ @ 550mhz... I'm NOT waiting for the sonata II!!! LOL

 
I have the slk and mine is really noisy...lots of rattles fromt my raptor. Looking for a new case as we speak.
 
SLK3000B from Amazon.com for $46 shipped. There's no question the SLK3000B has better layout and design. SilentPCReview.com has review on both cases. Antec made a slight change on the front fan mount on the SLK3000B so you can mount any 120x25mm fan w/o the fan bracket. I don't know if there's enough space in front to mount a 120x38mm fan, but if it doesn't, you can always mount the 120x25mm in front and 120x38mm in the back.

Get a XClio 450W for $57 from newegg.com if you're on a budget and want a kickass power supply. SVC.com has the Antec TruePower 2.0 430W for $76.
 
The Sonata is a LOT more than the 3000B - unless you only check prices at Newegg... 3000-B takes my money - it has the HDs arranged properly, IMO.
