I liked my Sonata III. I ended up selling it and upgrading to a P182 though. If you are running stock cooling and non-8800 graphics card the case works well. Only real complaints I had were that with the 120mm hdd fan mounted the rh side of the mobo is a bit more cramped and only 1 side panel is removable (so no hiding of wiring behind the mobo). Overall it is a good case if you can snatch it up for around $100 shipped I can't see a thing wrong with that. Antec has had some crazy rebates lately, so keep an eye out. My Sonata was $120 out the door with a $40 rebate. My P182 was $119 with a $50 rebate (of course I had to buy a supply for it).
