How do the Antec Sonata and SLK1650B compare?

I'm looking for a quiet case. I do a lot of video editing and 3d work so the fan is usually cranking pretty hard.

I'm looking for a case that:

has good ventilation and is still quiet
doesn't have a front door
has Firewire port in front
is mid tower

The Sonata fits the bill but has that front door. The SLK1650B doesn't have the door but doesn't have the Firewire port either. I assume both of these cases are relatively quiet and provide good ventilation? If you have experience with either please let me know what you think.

I'm thinking about getting the 1650 and putting one of those 5 1/4" card reader/port replicator things in there.

Any suggestions appreciated before I make the purchase!

 
Since you dont want a door buy the SLK1650B, a lot of ppl are pleased with it. Since it has a 120mm fan like the sonata I'm sure it is quiet. I have the Sonata myself. Just make sure the power supply is enough for your components. SLK has 350 versus the Sonata with a 380W
