Hello,

Here is my soon to be new system
Motherboard : INTEL DP35DPM Intel P35 Express Chipset
Processor : INTEL Core 2 Duo E6750 / 2.66GHz / 1333MHz / LGA775 / 2x2MB Cache
Memory : CORSAIR TWIN2x2048-6400C4 / DDR2-800 / 2 X 1GB / 4-4-4-12
Graphic Card : XFX GeForce 8800GTS Extreme / 320MB / PCI-E / Dual DVI
Hard Drive :WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar 320GB / SATA II / 7200RPM / 16MB Cache
with a DVD burner and maybe a floppy ( not sure why a floppy though :na: )

I've read alot on the subject but I just can't make up my mind about it.
Should I take the Sonata III with a 500W PS or should I go with the P182 and a more powerfull PS?
I know that both cases are good and where I live, it's a matter of 150$ so I'm taking my time thinking about it.

Thx in advance

You could get the Antec 900 if your into gaming. That's what I got and it looks and works awesome. Although it is a little on the loud side....considering it has a 200mm top exhaust fan and 3 more 120mm fans that all come with it. Also, the blue LEDs look cool. It's quite a unique case so you will stand out more. But if your only choosing between the Sonata and the P182 then I lean more towards the Sonata because I know multiple people that use the Sonata and they work great for what they're supposed to do. And they do look kind of cool... I have a system that is roughly the same as yours and I use a FSP 700W power supply and it works great. Also, I've heard great things about Seasonic but they are a little more expensive than other PSU's...But they are some of the best.
