Agreed.

Did you paint that?
Nope. Bought it from Newegg like that. Only cost $30 plus shipping.

How about a black case with a blue glow?

That looks pretty good!

that's EXACTLY how i have it set up.

although i must admit, a black case with a custom cut out design = the best. like that one guy here that has that blue dragon mod. that's just awesome

Another happy Sonota owner here.

Very cool (and quiet!) case.

I'd love to get a Sonata but I hate the antec stamped in the side and the chrome port cover on the front.

you change your opinion after a while..
i started on black cases, and i now prefer standard white... i DO want to paint my case eventually some custom color... but i do like just the regular white/beige cases.

It's not that bad after about a day.

I had a beige case, painted it blue, including drives..then I got a new Lian Li case, pretty brushed aluminum:cool: and transferred the blue drives to it, it actually looks quite nice :p

I wish this computer was for me. =\

Black is nice. Brushed aluminum is better. Small Form Factor Brushed aluminum is supreme.

Well, I think exactly like that - I even painted my computer and mouse in black. You know, white mice looks unnatural :D

Roll all you want, but the waxing took care of cat paw prints and fingerprints very well. It's not something to do on most cases, but with the Sonata, with its smooth finish, it was a fix for a problem that was chronic. Took all of two minutes to do and I don't think I'll have to do it again.

I'd do it again with any smooth finished, painted case.

silver here. that way the beige drives don't look too bad, and the case looks cool. beige drives are about 10% less $
