The Sonata III is a very solid case for mainstream builds. It looks nice,
easy to build on, seems to do a decent job cooling (though why Antec doesn't

The thing would *constantly* drop my VPN tunnels. I also ran into a
problem where if it was plugged into my switch while it booted, it would
lock up during boot. When I had to reboot it (which was frequent) I had
to unplug my ethernet cables.
Oh, and QoS was fatally broken.
