Guide Review - Antec Sonata Tower Case
Antec’s Sonata super-mini tower enclosure is an amazing deal for the features they provide. The tag line for the case is “Hear the Silence” and they have put a lot of effort into making this case as quiet as possible. To do this they have included rubber grommets on the hard drive trays, rubber case fan mounts, a low speed 120mm case fan and a single fan TruePower 380W PSU. The power supply alone makes this package an amazing deal, but the build quality of Antec’s cases has always been fairly high. This is a case that anyone building a new computer from scratch should take a serious look at.
