Sonata III is out

[JoshW295]

Sonata III is either out or will be out soon, Antec has updated their web site to show the Sonata III:

http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=15137

But Antec's online store doesn't have it, and no vendors have it (that I could find).

(Sonata II $50 rebate info posted in Hot Deals section).

The Sonata II was the best IMO, and this one takes a step backward with the front panel USB/firewire/audio not being concealed behind a door.

Personally, I prefer having the front panel connectors exposed. You can still lock the front door to prevent anyone from turning it off, but you don't have to open the door just to use your headphones.

The rest of the case looks functionally similar to a Sonata II. Makes sense, don't fix if it ain't broken.

I couldn't agree more. They took a great looking case and cluttered up the front panel with connectors.

By door, I was referring to the little flip up/down door.

$150? no way in hell that thing's worth more than a Lian Li PC-7B Plus II... However, it does come with a EarthWatts 500W PSU...which gives it....90 dollars of its value.

Will this 500 W PSU handle a 8800 GTS640?

Looks like a another superb design from Antec.

I don't mind not having the door.
