i currently have sn41g2, but it's little it too noisy for my taste, and i'm eyeing the sonata case,

but after hearing the actual sound of sonata running with all parts, i'm not so sure that sonata is 'silent case'.

if anyone have had both of these cases, and have feedback if sonata is significantly less noisy than SHuttle XPC, lmk

tia :D

never heard the shuttle XPC .. but here's my story for the day ..

i just came back from running errands and nothing was stiring in my house. no lights, no music, no tv, nothing. I walked through my house and into my room and noticed something was different. I thought i left my computer on (as i always do) but something seemed odd. I flipped the monitor on and my computer was running. that's how silent the Sonata is.

it's the sonata case with the shipped PSU
4 x hdds
2 x optical drives
