Speaking of Antec, I love the sonata.. Its the first respectably quiet
case I've come across. Even the fans are mounted on rubber dampers,
the power supply has a special temperature sensitive controller for fans
and a special power supply lead to plug your case fans. When things heat
up, it speeds up the case fans etc.
Plus, its in a nifty piano-black box with blue LED "headlights" on the
front. :-)
I just wish they didn't punch holes in the side to let more sound out. :-(
