Upgrading to a new rig - need some suggestions on a case and cooler for a P4 640 setup.

I've been out of the loop for a while, just looking for something that has good airflow and won't give me any heating issues. I will be doing some moderate oc'ing but not trying to get the most out of the chip.

The main thing right now is the price and stability.

Anyone know if this would work?
Antec Sonata II w/ SmartPower 2.0 450W PSU $89.99

thats ok, i would maybe consider a CoolerMaster Centurion, but if you want to reduce temps get rid of that P4

If you want cooling...I would suggest the Thermaltake Tsunami. The Sonata is not very good at keeping components cool, and that shroud does more harm than good.

I like your choice of the Sonata II. For CPU cooling I use the TT Jungle 512 on a P4 530J 3.0 OC'd 15% to 3.451 at 45*C full load. Definitely not silent but it keeps it cool.
