Antec Sonata Plus 550 Mid Tower ATX Case Silver Black 3X5.25 1X3.5 4X3.5INT 550W Front USB & Sound
Cons:Lights on the front are extremely bright (blue LEDs)Heavy despite its small size
Pros:Nice sizePSU is stable and provides a decent amount of powerLooks good (subjective, I know) Comment:
The first one I purchased had a faulty power supply, but the second didn't.I'm running this with on Vista Business with an Intel E8400, Gigabyte GA-DS3L, Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500, XFX 8800GT, 500GB HDD + 200GB HDD, and a DVD Burner. Runs smooth.The 120mm fan in the back and the PSU fan are probably quiet, but the 8800GT makes sure I don't get to appreciate it. The sound insulation on the panels makes a marginal difference in sound dampening. |

Cons:It's quite heavy! I also wish they included one or two 92mm fans for the front of the case.
Pros:Good power supply and useful front USB, firewire, and audio ports. The front cover has a nice screen to catch dust. Comment:
I love Antec cases. I have two Antec cases for my servers, and this one is for a new desktop I am building. This is a well-built case and is a pleasure to deal with. |

Antec Sonata Plus 550 Mid Tower ATX Case Silver Black 3X5.25 1X3.5 4X3.5INT 550W Front USB & Sound
Cons:can't think of to many-could be a little bigger-the orange color is a little weird looking-you gotta push the power button pretty hard for it to turn on
Pros:-strong-quiet-HD mounting -3speed fan Comment:
Great power supply, I would recommend it to anyone, the PSU is great in there. I am running E6750 at 3.6 ghz, 2 gigs ram, 8800gt and 500gig HD and its running flawlessly. I have my rear fan on speed 2, keep the air flowing and its quiet at the same time. Very good case, love it. |

Antec Sonata Plus 550 Mid Tower ATX Case Silver Black 3X5.25 1X3.5 4X3.5INT 550W Front USB & Sound
Cons:-Heavy-"Copper" accent could be a little shinier (or just orange)-Front fans for hard drive seem to be a weird size (not included)
Pros:-Solid and plain construction-Good paint job, excellent building material and design-Super easy to install parts inside Comment:
I bought this for my new system. The cooling in the case is good and the rear fan is nice (with the speed control). I wish however that they would include a front hard drive fan for an extra 10$ or so. The power supply is good and the case is super solid. The side panel and front bezel design is really neat and works very well. The thumbscrews also don't come off so you won't loose them. |

Antec Sonata Plus 550 Mid Tower ATX Case Silver Black 3X5.25 1X3.5 4X3.5INT 550W Front USB & Sound
Cons:nitpicks: 'soft' power button. drive tray screws are a little long. hdd led is attached to front fan cage, have to unplug to remove. (hdd maintenace)
Pros:excellent fit and finish, sturdy, well designed. Crossfire rated PSU.. almost like getting a free case. Comment:
Probably the best installation experience i've ever had. Everything fit the way it was supposed to. Uncluttered interior due to modular psu cabling. Voltages are dead on. Added 2x 92mm tricools in front, with those and rear 120mm tricool on medium, (equal volume in/out) the case is kept very cool. moderate noise. Airflow is across HDDs and videoTip: rear tricool speed switch can be threaded through the padlock hole without damaging the wire. easier speed control.. quiet, moderate or vacuum cleaner |
