    Antec Sonata III Chassis

    The MkIII version of Antec's highly-popular Sonata series PC case is now on sale. But has the company continued to improve the chassis or is the third incarnation just more of the same?

    Just like the Antec P190, if they shipped it without the PSU the case would be an utter steal.

    Its cheap with the PSU. I would not want a cheaper PSU than this and would not want to run a huge SLI rig in this either.

    I think I've found the perfect case to transfer my athlon setup into, for when I want to upgrade to a Core2Duo based PC. That way my seasonic PSU and decent fans (£10 a pop) can stay in my main PC.

    Re: Antec Sonata III Chassis

    I've still got the Antec Sonata Mk I case and think these cases are a pretty good deal. The 380W PSU that came with my original case is still going and powered my various Athlon set-ups for a good 3 stable years... I was considering getting this case with my new core2quad, but ultimately decided to buy a higher spec PSU and sticking it into the, yep you guessed it, faithful old Sonata Mk I case... So far, all is good with the thermal performance (although I'm not OC'ing and have a front fan fitted..)

    i've read mixed things about it.
    not as quiet as expected, unless on low fan setting of which there is only 1 fan.
    rubber feet stuck on not very well.

    for the price it seems good, but for the £50-£80 pound mark what else is there combined case and psu?

    or what combination of case and psu would you get for the price?
