Very large case but it looks good. Last time I built I wanted something quieter than my previous case, which had a window and side fan etc, so I went with an Antec Sonata III. I've found it a bit of a pain to work with but once things are in it's solid and quiet so I planned on keeping it for my next system as well to save some money.

Just this weekend though I was installing an SSD and I noticed the 3.5" adapter that came with it didn't have the same mounting holes as what the drive brackets in my case needed - the Sonata mounts drives from the bottom with rubber washers to reduce vibrations but this adapter only had the holes for the side. I ended up having to mount the drive in the floppy drive area where it did have the side screw holes but it was very annoying.

TL;DR version - I haven't been looking at cases much recently but I may have to for my next build. :?
