Very quiet, I like Antec. Price is a little bit too much, so I price matched it. Got 40$ off, very good deal!

This case has a really sleek look. The front is glossy black and has a front cover and lock which you don't see in many other cases. Although it is supposed to be a quiet case, I could hear a slight buzzing noise but that could be just my stock CPU cooler. If you are a gamer or overclocker, I wouldn't recommend getting this case since it will most likely burn your parts due to lack of fans (airflow). There's just this 120mm (I think) fan at the back pulling all the air from the case. More fan slots would be nice as it's literally a brazen bull for your OC'ed parts. This would make a pretty neat HTPC case though.

This case is great for those who need a quiet PC. It's not aluminum (thus no vibrations). Lots of grommets in the case and drive areas to reduce noise. Designed with practicality in mind.
This is a good Tower if you don't mind a couple of changes that needs to be done. For the 5.25Drive Bay's to align a CDrom for example you need to drill wholes in the plastic slot that the CDRom's face and the tower are aligned. Else your CDrom will be out about a quarter inch.
Also the mounting spot for a 2.5" SSD is simply wrong it simply doesn't mount well at all. I used a regular 3.5HDD drive bay to mount mine.

This case would be perfect if not for the power cables for the drives. This case has room for 4 hard drives, mounted sideways, but the Power Supply has two set of cables, each for 3 drives. Since you need to power the DVD drives (I have 2, it would work for 3), this leaves 3 connectors for the HDD. Since I have 3 HDDs, I thought it would work.
BUT: due to the arrangement of the drives, and the cable lengths, you can only power 2 drives, not 3.

At first glance, this would seem to be a great case. Unlike the previous versions of the Sonata, the door can swing past 180 degrees to avoid bumping and breaking it off, and both side panels are able to be opened (albeit with thumbscrews instead of a latch). It is sleek, the hard drives finally mount from the side instead of the back, and there is a side vent for air intake.
The case makes more noise than my previous Sonata III (probably because of the side ventilation), rear fan did not help reduce it's noise level either. Will buy after-market fan to reduce noise levels. It's still a great case. USB 3.0 front-side port taking up a rear-side port is a real downer though.
"While it is a great looking case, some of the internal parts of the case leave a bit to be desired. I think that maybe after the price comes down a bit, the Sonata IV will be a much more appealing case, but at the current price point, I think it should offer a bit more."
