Antec Sonata III is out

[ss_blake]

Anyone have any comments/reviews on Antec Sonata III mid-tower case/psu?

I like this case as it is subtle, quiet and room to expand, plus from e-sata and usb. Hard to find any reviews though. It has a 500W PSU, strong front door/hinges, and some other minor revisions from version II.

The interior looks identical to the Sonata-II minus the cooling duct. They should have rotated the HDD cage 90° and move the front fan mount to the front of the case instead of behind the HDD cage.

The exterior looks great, especially without those blue led's on the front.

kind of expensive. Will we see the Sonata 3 at ~$60-50 after MIR like the Sonata 2? My friend got his for $60, but his PSU is dying just a downside of that great case.

johhnyguru gave it a great rating..... thats an improvement over the last Sonata's horrid PSU. If we see this combo for >$100 it will sell like crazy

If I knew about this 2 days ago I'd be much happier. I just bought a case and PSU for $150 before shipping, I'd rather have this and its cheaper.
