Do any of yall that have Sonata's know if a 38mm thick fan will fit in the front? Mine should be here tomorrow and I wanted to buy a Panaflo 120mm fan to put up there but they only come 38mm thick. Anybody?

I had read before about people having problems with this, but after I got my Sonata and installed my front fan (vantec stealth) I don't see what the problem could be. Possibly the only problem i could see you running into regarding depth of the fan would be if you have a super SUPER long PCI card that runs from nearly the back of the system to the very front edge of the motherboard.

Well a couple months ago there was one store that was having a huge either sale or rebate on them and some people got them for like 40 bucks, maybe less (I believe it was Staples). Now though, the best you'll probably find is Amazon.com, who had them for 99 bucks + free shipping last time I checked. Its also on Newegg for 99 bucks but the shipping is 15 bucks right now. Keep looking and they'll probably have it with free shipping soon (last week it was). Other places online you can find them a little cheaper but with their shipping rates you wont save any money. To compare what you might pay for it in a store, I saw one at Circuit City the other day and it was $129.

also, from wut i hear, the 6800GT will require a 480W PSU, which is another reason y ATI pwnz! you should get the radeon since performance is the same or greater and it will work fine with a 380W psu. as with the sonata and the super lanboy, they are my 2 favorite antec cases and are 2 of my 3 favorites cases that i wish to have. between the sonata and teh super lanboy, the sonata has a great psu, unlike the super lanboy that doesnt have any, meaning it will cost you more money to get the superlanboy operational. also, since the lanboy has a window, that means it will be noisier then the sonata, but not by much. in my opinion, i would get the sonata if i want elegance and "prettiness", and the lanboy if i wanted something funky and cool lookin. BUT, i'd only get the lanboy myself if i got a dfi lanparty motherboard with the sweet UV sensitive features.
