[QUOTE="jdiffend, post: 11508, member: 10910"] I've been using the Antec Sonata for around a year and I love it. If you want quiet hard drives go with Seagate. Their new ones seem to be the quietest I've tried. My new Western Digital external is pretty quiet too. I'm running a Sempron 2400+ and an ATi 9600se (no fan). The stock CPU fan is the loudest thing in the case but not bad. I bought the case when it had a mail in rebate and I had a gift card from Christmas. I only had to fork out $50 or so myself. I was looking at fanless heatsinks to make it quieter but for the price I think the Arctic Cooling is a better deal. I just set up a new system with another model Antec case (SLK2600AMB) and it was really quiet too. It only had the power supply fan and no hard drive noise deadening mounts but for $40 it's pretty quiet (BestBuy send me some bonus bucks). I'd say it rivals the Sonata. The Intel fan that came with the Celeron D 2.4GHz CPU in it is the loudest thing in it as well. [/QUOTE]
