I like the Sonata series cases. I've built many machines on it, and it is my standard case for sub-$1000 or 1200 builds--but I generally find it sub-optimal for true performance builds. It is built for quiet, which is generally incompatible with the high power demands, heat generation, and physical space requirements of a performance build. I generally go Lian-Li for those. :) Greg
