Side Window for a Sonata?

[whovous]

I am thinking about a new build. Currently I have a 1.5G P4 in a Sonata with a Zalman 7000Cu on the processor and a Zalman fanless copper sink on the aging video card.

I want to get to the 3.0G or 3000+ range and get a video card in the $200 range. The new machine needs to be as quiet and more stylish than the current one. I want a window, and plan to devote a lot of attention to presentation through that window.

At issue is whether I keep the Sonata or essentially start from scratch. First question is whether Antec offers an add-on window option for the Sonata. Assuming it does not, can folks suggest the most professional looking window kit to put on this box? The window should be large, and square/rectangular. The overall finish of the completed product is important to me, as is limiting the possibility of screwing things up when I cut the side panel and/or install the window.

Advice please.

Phil

I am personally thinking about getting the lanboy myself.

I built the original LANBoy for my daughter and liked the idea of the Super for myself, as the dual 120mm fan concept was so well realized. I saw one in person recently, and thought the finish looked a little cheap compared to the Sonata and some other cases I have looked at.

Also, I am considering using an X-Connect PSU next time, as I like the looks of the cables and the possibility of reducing cable clutter. The problem with that PSU, however, is that the cables, and especially the 24-pin mobo cable, are very long and thick. They really need a largish case to avoid being a jammed in mess. The Super is on the small side of a mid-tower. I've just put an X-connect into a larger case (Logisys Phantom) and the cables are long even there.

I will try to take a closer look at the other case, however.
