review by S. Roberts “scroberts3″ for Antec Sonata III 500 Quiet Super Mid Tower ATX Case (Black)
Excellent case but BIG problem could destruction system,
There is a very huge and annoying problem with this product. It does not adequately discharge static electricity. If it has been running for a while and you, or your pet, brushes up against the metalic insert on the front of the panel, you can discharge your energy and crash the system. This happens all the time for me when inserting a USB drive. Antec is aware of the problem, here is their response:
Comment: 1. We are working on this problem with a high priority, and have already tested multiple proposed fixes. Sorry to say, the problem is turning out to be more hard than anticipated. The case is currently being tested in a special ESD lab.
2. The metallicized plastic IS grounded. That fact is one of the reasons this problem is proving so hard to pin down.
3. We cannot refund monies that were not paid to us, but if a customer wants help returning product to a distributor we can usually help arrange that if the distributor is being uncooperative.
4. We really guess an answer honestly soon, and as soon as we can we will be making it available to customers encountering this problem. We certainly apologize for the inconvenience, but Antec is well known for the quality of its customer service and for the way we stand behind our products.
UPDATE 3/17/08: As an update, Antec has come up with a solution. they have replaced the front silver metallic panel with a flat piano black panel. I have yet to see if this will fix the problem, but I reckon that bodes well to their commitment to fixing the issue.

Fantastic Value , Flawless Design,
I have had this case a few weeks and have been super pleased with it. My third build with Antec cases this year. Two 900 cases for gaming systems and now this Sonata III for myself. Hey, I’m 58 and a nice cool and silent case are what I want. I have by no means worked with a case this well thought out. All the cables can be run without crossing the motherboard. I picked up a second fan as I have three hard drives. My CPU stays at 104F or less no matter how hard I run it and the mobo is the same. Gorgeous black finsish and the drive bays are the simplest I have worked with. Mounting the hard drives to be in side mounted, sound cut off trays makes them super simple to install and remove. The sound is nearly imperceptable, even on drive access. Maxtor sata drives, gigabyte GA-EP35 DS3R mobo and Core Duo 6550. Best system I have had since I started building them in 1984. Buy this case and you won’t be sorry…. unless you are a super overclocker and running wide open.. then go the 900.. not as nice, not as silent but super cool.

Brilliant case for home theater PC. High wife approval factor.,
This is an brilliant case for my home theater wants. Very silent and extremely well place together. Installing the motherboard and drives was very simple. The locking front is absolutely elemental if you have young family. It prevents them from powering on and off the system. I previously had one of my hard drives crashed by one of my cute small button pusher. Be grateful goodness for backups. Could not question for a better case in this price point.
