I'm planning to put together a A64 based system in the next few weeks, but I'm still unsure on the case/PSU. The Antec Sonata looks like a good choice, but can anyone recommend another case + PSU combo in that same price range ($100) that might be better and/or quieter?

Thanks!

Look under cases. I've got the AcoustiCase (Black) which comes loaded with with noise absorbing materials.

I'm using a Zalman 420watt PSU. 22 Db's min 33 Db's max. There are quieter ones I think, but there not as good value as the Zalman (thats not to say Zalman are cheap).
Or you get a Enermax PSU with a variable (manual) speed control fan, my mate has one and they seem pretty decent.

I think you've already made a good choice there.. but quitepc.com is going to help you if you want to get a supa quiet set up.. but most people don't need complete silence unless you're going to use this in a recording studio or something..

I'd avoid Antec, personally.

I bought an Overture case, wanting a good, quiet case. It's quiet enough, but the motherboard overheats. I've been trying to get help from Antec support for near two weeks, with no response at all.
