Does this look like a nice case or what? Hey Damage with your positive review of the Sonata think Antec can send you a review unit if this case?

looks pretty interesting

Nice looking case, but it looks like cabling it is a nightmare. Plus the inside is not as nice as the other SFF systems out there, as they put more thought into ergonomics.

Hey Howard,

Yeah, I actually considered picking this up since it will accomidate a mini ATX motherboard. I could pick up the Gigabyte GAVT800M Athlon 64 motherboard and still have all the functionallity of an SFF plus the ability to have 3 hard disks in this sucker. Oh, and the fact that it would have three pci slots isn't too shabby either. Between the cost of the motherboard and this SFF case, it would still be cheaper (About $100) than buying Shuttles NF150 chipset based unit. Also, a 300watt power supply would be nice...

BTW, just order the SilentX 250 Watt power supply for the SN45G. Will let you know how it goes once it's installed.

Slick case. I probably won't see it in Canada for a while.

I am pretty sure that DFI's new sff is using this case.

That's the suck part - having to wait a few months for the products to reach Canada. Hopefully Tigerdirect will carry more SFF's since they have a good selection right now.

Ususally the good parts cost an arm, a leg, and a few more parts. I want to upgrade my RAM but all you see is OCZ and the good stuff is a small fortune. I need to talk to my vendor and see what they can get thier hands on.

The computer store I goto in Manitoba sold A64 chips for the longest time and they finally got the Asus K8T a few weeks ago.

Have you ever condiderd ordering online from somewhere else like from http://www.ncix.com or checking http://www.pricenetwork.ca. EVenthough you probably do get it cheaper from where you go now. I just started really checking pricenetwork and see alot of places with lower prices than my usual joints but have never ordered something online.

Yeah but I don't have a credit card and going to a store gives me an excuse to leave the house. I have priced out systems of the internet and priced out systems from stores and the difference is very small ($100?).
