With your thumb and forefinger, grasp the pinch tabs on either side of one of the internal 3. Page External 3. With your thumb and forefinger, grasp the pinch tabs on either side of one of the external 3. Attach these to the corresponding connectors on your motherboard. Consult your motherboard manual for specific pin header locations. Page Section 4: Cooling System This fan is installed to blow warm air out of the case. Page Installing An Additional Fan There is one optional mm fan mount located at on the side of the internal 3.
We recommend using Antec mm speed control fans and setting the speed to Low. These fans must be installed so that the air is blowing into the case. Page Commonly Asked Questions My computer shorts out and turns off when I touch the front USB or audio panel If you have an original or early version of the Sonata III series that is silver in color, please call customer support to obtain a black plate cover for the front ports.
Page 17 My power supply fan is not running. Please contact for RMA service. What is my warranty? Sweet jesus is it quiet though. I have grown accustomed to it over time and start to think it is lowed.
I do hear a low hum from under my desk, mostly the 2 hard drives I would imagine. If I close the front door, then it gets noticibly quieter. The report said that both a loud fan and a loud optical drive carry through, and this is definitely true.
Anyway, like I said, loud, until I fix someone elses computer or have to use one somewhere else, then I remember just how loud mine used to be.
Love the case. The quantity of SFF reviews may seem high when looking at them all lined up, but the video card page must look insane, so really, whats the difference. I read most, flipped through the rest as my interest and funding wanned, so there could not have been TOO many reviews of the little guys. I think as long as the other reviews keep coming as well, you can do whatever you want and I will keep coming back and keep reading.
Basically, keep up the good work, keep the reviews thorough and plentiful, and you will always have a dedicated reader here. I built a PC for a friend around this case. I mostly agree with the review. Its a very nice case in appearance and finish. The drive cage setup in the Sonata is a good space saving idea being turned 90 degrees. It makes less clutter around the motherboard. The little rubber gromets may make the drive quieter.
I know its a Kludge. However, half an inch of leeway makes the difference between useable and bending the connectors. SATA drives are a bit of a scary proposition in here. One of the things I would recommend is to put another bigass fan on the back of the drive cages. It has the mounts built in, all you need is another fan.
I did have a problem with the rubber fan mounts though, two of them came broken in my kit. When are case companies going to get with the program reguarding documentation? You mentioned that there was an error in the instructions and you kinda let it go. I think you let them off easy, the rest of the instructions were bad as well. One really picky thing: Can the hinge for the front door be moved to the other side of the case? I like to have the case on my right, and having the door swing towards me would make it just a little inconvenient to reach the drives.
Your last eight b[. Antec Sonata Seagate Barracuda Wow, one out of seven. I assembeled computer with a Sonata case last month and the power supply had serial ata power connectors. Type search above and then hit Enter. Very old. I know this because my tastes in computers are changing in ways I never could have anticipated—ways that are scary to a guy like me. And let me be clear, I am the guy who always has to have the fastest computer possible for anything close to a sane amount of money.
I want my computer to impress people in a way that is slightly menacing. Rails nestled cleverly in the drive bay cover. Open the pod bay doors, Hal. Witness the power of this fully operational battle station! Nice rear. Thumbscrews rule.
Filter in. The finished product: with the right external drives, it looks great. Conclusions I do have a few other nits to pick about the Sonata. Black cases inevitably show dust much more prominently than plain beige or brushed aluminum. This shiny finish shows fingerprints like mad. Also, the power supply leads could benefit from some sheathing to keep things tidy.
Some might argue the about the style points involved, though. Comments closed. Rowan 18 years ago Yes, but after reading misc.

Kurlon 18 years ago Nice to see Chemming has been improving on their design. Daddyo 18 years ago On the Sonata.. RoninGyrbill 18 years ago Indeego! Mr Bill 18 years ago on the fan rotors… Or you could sprinkle red glitter on the outside to stick to the holes after you tape.
Pete 18 years ago Great review, Damage: a pleasure to read as always. SpotTheCat 18 years ago actually, the longer you go without cleaning a filter, the better job it does at filtering… but it stops letting air through. DeltaLima 18 years ago Good idea and with clear tape or plastic, you can insert a LED row light inside so the logo will glow in a cool way. Good review, and bring back the gerbs! Mr Bill 18 years ago Yeah, I just taped the logo holes with clear tape.
Mr Bill 18 years ago The case has mounting points and provides rubber offsets for an optional mm fan attached to the side of the hard drive cage. NeXus 6 18 years ago You mean people actually bought those things? Damage 18 years ago Are you a freak or just a weirdo? Damage 18 years ago Do any of them have a sense of humor? But you knew that, right? Dposcorp 18 years ago I have always been a fan of Antec cases have 3 here now and this looks like another nice case.
The power supply does need to have more adjustable fan speed settings as well. Otherwise, excellent reivew as usuall Scott. Mr Bill 18 years ago q[. Klogg 18 years ago Look at that.
