So my Sonata II's door broke off

[Kaido]

I finally got myself the Antec Sonata case that everyone's been raving about for years. Nice, shiny, easy to assemble a computer inside. Then the door broke off. Less than 1 day old from Newegg. Awesome 😛

contact Antec (www.antec.com). They have been known to provide replacements for free in the past.

Are you sure it's broken? The door on my Sonata I is designed so it can be popped off and replaced.

Yuppers - bottom plastic piece is hanging off, broken. I didn't even do anything harsh to it, I simply opened it and it fell off! 😛

Will do, thanks!

I hope you have better luck with Antec service staff than I did.

Yet another reason not to get that plastic junk. 😛

Don't ever use one of those (P180's) where it might fall over - it'll really be messed up. Of course if it's really bad no case is going to help but those cheesy plastic pins are bad.

That's a big reason I went with the Cavalier 3 case, the front door is solid, so much better than a POS plastic door.

Antec isn't all bad, the SLK3000 is a classic even with the door.

I'm also still liking my new NSK4400 case for my X2 3800+ work machine: cheap, no door, and almost silent even with the stock fan and PSU (I used a Zalman 7000-alcu for the HSF though).

Ouch, see if they will get you a replacement.

Jeez, and so much P180 hate, mine is great. I'm not too privy to plastic myself, however it works great with this case.
