Question: A newbie one

First of all, I have read many reviews on the Antec P180 and I would like to know if its really worth it at its price.

Ok, i noticed that Dynamik's computer wires are little circles rather then the traditional flat cables. Whats the keyword for the little circle cables? Is that the new trend?

Link to see the cables: http://www.dynamiks.net/pics/improved_p180/p180%20008.jpg

Next, I want to know if copper heatsinks are better. Is that the new trend? Is a big heatsink like Dynamiks' better then a traditional heatsink + fan?

And last of all, What does PSU stand for?

antec makes quality cases, as for whether it's worth the money, it's purely personal preference. personally, i'd rather get the sonata... $80-$100 for a solid case with a 380W truepower is hard to beat.

those cables are called round cables, and they are supposed to enhance air flow, and helps organization

cooper heatsinks are better, but costs more. it's not really a trend... i'm not a big fan of fanless heatsinks (the one in the pic), so i'd rather get a solid heatsink with a big fan (80mm-92mm) to lower the noise.

PSU = power supply unit.
 
Can you show me some sonata stuff? I like the fact that the P180 is very quiet and i like the washable filter part, because it keeps dust away.
 
I have the p180, it's a good case for powerful yet quiet computers, if you want a very quiet computer then you're best off with the p150.

I have the p180 and it is a bitch to work on the motherboard in it, there are a few problems but it's well worth the money in my eyes.
 
The sonata doesn't look so attractive, looks rather small. I just noticed, if i want to put a big heatsink in... it won't fit.
