Would It Be Smart To Use Antec Sonata?

i think it's pretty good.

my rig is in my sig. but for the lazy, ill' name my componets and temps

CPU / System temps = 39C / 25C

Sonata w/ 2 x 120mm fans
Abit NF7-S Rev 2.0
Barton 2200 w/ 80mm panaflo L1A
Radeon 9700 Pro
DVD+- R/RW
CDRW
Floppy
ATA PCI Card
4 x hdd.

as you can see .. i have to connect and fold and manipulate many wires so the front 120mm has room to breathe. since the front fan is behind in the hdd cage, i set it to pull air away from the drives and let the the rear 120mm fan pull the air from the cpu, gpu, and hdd through the rear.

Only during the summer do i hit warm case temps ... idle usually 44 / 33 during the summer. that's still pretty good for summer
 
Seeing how many HDDs and the type of HDDs you have there, I think the Sonata would be a great choice. The front fan is placed nicely to cool your HDDs.

I definately recommend it.

Pretty good temps considering you are using an 80mm L1a. Are your 120mm fans running at 5v out of curiosity?

Excellent case that I have - 120mm fan in the back is super. The only other case I would conside is the new Antec P160.
