OMG, how hard is it to find a Case I like...

[yaxattax]

Yeah, I picked the sonata because I wanted to have a nice quiet PC. I didn't lose any HD bays, but when I took the dimensions of my 6970 and the dimensions it could fit, there was an inch to spare, literally. Unfortunately at the time of choosing this didn't quite register as "this is going to be a fucking nightmare to assemble, especially with the sata ports being right underneath the graphics card and 4 hard drives", but "oh, good, this fits".

Only just.

That case actually looks quite nice, if it weren't for the side window ...

Thanks again guys. Always a pleasure to be educated by you all.

Side window has been replaced by a blank panel as I ordered it in addition to the case. I too am more conservative, liking clean lines and not so much bling.

If you havent picked it out yet, consider the nzxt phantom. it may be expensive but its the most stylish case ever. comes with fans that are noiseless too. ports are audio/mic usb 2.0 and 3.0 and an esata. 7 pci slots etc theres alot to this case.

Comes in pink, black, white and red. I think theres still a special edition black and orange. on a side note this thing is huge(obviously because its full tower), but i love this case.

Yup, arrived today and it's bigger than I imagined, even though I did know the measurements! It's almost feels like its a full tower. I'm okay about it as I have 4 HD so I need the room. I'll comment more when I actually start installing the other parts, when I order them that is.
