| Antec Sonata II Silent ATX Case The Sonata II is a worthy upgrade to the original Sonata and anyone in the market for a new case should take a good look at it - whether or not they're building a silent system. The Sonata II offers near silent operation in a package so attractive you'll want to show it off every chance you get. It's a good thing the Sonata II can be locked up. Otherwise your friends might take too much of a shining to it. Direct link: http://www.thetechzone.com/?m=show&id=352

| Again, just talk and no temp or sound measurement for something that is supposed to be quiet and the Advanced Chassis air Duct remains untested. My own experience using one for 3 weeks found the air duct even with fans installed is worthless; it increase CPU temp and did not decrease graphic card GPU temp although the ambient temp has a lower reported temp according to ATI temp sensors. Many people overlook the design of a fan duct, thinking any round pipe or vent will do the job. This is the 4th review I read without any test done to the case.
