About The Antec Sonata II
How has the Sonata II case changed since version I?
From the first Sonata version, Antec has made a number of small
improvements - each one adds up to give a quieter case, with improved
potential for cooling. In the new Sonata 2, the potential for sound
leakage from the case side panels has been reduced (by removing
holes originally forming the Antec logo in the case side panels).
A new black air duct 'guide' has been added for removing warm air
from around the CPU and GPU areas over the motherboard. The air
ducting can hold optional 92mm and 80mm fans. This has improved
the potential for cooling this area inside the case, and air extracted
is expelled without a fan located on the outside of the case (nearly
always a noisy design flaw in many cases!). The front door over
the optical drives now opens a full 270°, and Antec have upgraded
the quiet power supply to a SmartPower2.0 450W PSU.
The NEW Antec Sonata II - this is a very nice chassis...
