Exterior

 




The quality of the case from quiet sound to the paint job on the Sonata is superb. This case features one of the best paint jobs I have ever seen. The fluorescent light is reflected, and one can see the "Antec," decoration and air holes on the side panel.







As soon as Id the door, the bezels were already out of place. Fortunately they were not broken in transit leading to the easy the remedy to the solution of just pushing them back into place. Monarch Computer Systems have informed us that these bezels out of place is typical to the case because of the quick release drive rails break in transit for their customers.




The power and reset switches have a nice silver accent onto the black case. This case is the second one made by Antec, which seems that Antec likes the green and amber LED's for power and hard drive activity.




Front panel connectors like 2 USB, Firewire, Line In and Line out. Personally, the Line In and Line Out are essentially useless especially with an expansion card like the Audigy, which renders the front panel connectors useless. The two orbs on the right are high intensity blue LED's that require a power direct from the powersupply.

Few cases today come with a power supply only because the inclusion of a power supply is generally ineffective for today's standards. However, because Antec is a leading manufacture to power supplies, the inclusion of this powersuply in their cases is excellent. Antec's new powersupplies use two fans for exhaust; however, because the Sonata case is meant to be silent, this powersupply uses one fan. A nice inclusion to this power supply is an external 12v line for testing fans, watercooling pumps, etc.




The only fan, sans the powersupply fan, is seen here. This particular fan, branded as Antec is similar to the Lian Li PC-V1000, where there is rubber present to absorb any vibrations. Instead of using the plastic push pins and a rubber grommet, Antec uses a rubber screw holder instead.




Thumbscrews to cases these days seem to be a standard.
