I think I saw a review saying that case was noisy, but it was months ago so I could be wrong.

I'd probably get a Sonata or SLK3700 because I have and like both (desktop in the Sonata, FLAC music server in the SLK3700) but if you want aluminum instead of black or gray that's a good price.

Otherwise it looks good.

 

[Maximus96]

i like the look of the P160. i looked into the sonata but it looks plain too me. and i also like the connectors and temperature display on top of the P160.

awesome rig! im jealous

What are you using for an optical drive? Or is it just late and I'm missing it? Coming from your old machine, perhaps? I personally prefer to have a pair of optical drives anymore. At least a DVD-ROM drive and a CD/RW.

Otherwise, I don't see anything to pick at.

Why are all the forum entries like 15 inches long on my screen all of a sudden? Lots of left-right scrolling for me tonight.

yes forgot to mention the liteon DVDR and toshiba DVD from old machine.
