I would like to know which case would you buy?
Antec Sonata or Antec Lanboy?
I just add the Antec SLK3700AMB.

Dont forget blue LED fan in the 350w PSU!

EDIT: What about the Antec 660AMG. I've got it, its a really nice case too. Its a little bigger but temps are lower in it than the two you mentioned.

Lanboy. All the reasons listed above and you can put a 120 mm in the back.

I think LANBOY you can put a 80mm in the back. It's the Sonata that comes with 120mm fan mounted in the back.

Compared to the Lanboy, the Sonata is:
+sturdier
+better power supply(380w truepower)
+120mm fan
+quiet
+nicely painted
- more expensive
- heavy

3700AMB for me. Better airflow than the Sonata or Lanboy, as quiet as the Sonata but not as heavy. Better built than the Lanboy. More room inside ans easier to work on than the Lanboy. Better drive mounting system than the Lanboy. Cheaper than the Sonata or the Lanboy.

It comes with an 80mm. You have space to mod it to add a 120 mm. link

I broke down last night and bought the Antec SLK3700AMB. I got it from Yesmicro.com. These guys are a little better than Newegg. They have multiple warehouses and no tax for CA. These guys are up at midnight Pacific time. All emails are forwarded after hours to the owner's home. So give them a try guys.
