Silence Is Beautiful

{mosgoogle}The new Sonata II is Antec's premier enclosure for silent computing applications. The Sonata II combines the classic style and silent performance of the original Sonata quiet computer case with upgraded features and a very innovative cooling design.

The popular piano black case is equipped with Antec’s unique advanced chassis air duct for increased cooling of the latest CPUs and graphics cards. The air duct is rear-vented to help improve silence, and can be adjusted in three directions to ensure that the opening is always directly positioned above the CPU for maximum cooling. Additionally, the Sonata II features a single rear 120mm TriCool fan with an adjustable three-speed switch, as well as 120mm, 92mm and 80mm fan mounts, providing highly configurable cooling and air flow options.

Sonata II comes equipped with Antec’s low-noise, ATX12V v2.01-compliant, SmartPower 2.0 450W power supply. The power supply’s dual fan design uses two flow-through 80mm fans for intake and exhaust, providing virtually silent operation. Other features include nine drive bays with rubber grommets to absorb hard drive vibrations, as well as a double hinge door that opens to 270 degrees for easy installation. The case also has a built-in washable air filter and convenient front-mounted USB 2.0, audio, and FireWire ports.

Where To Buy It

The Sonata II is available for an estimated street price of $99.00 to $129.00 through major retailers, e-tailers and distributors. A very good price for such a nice case. The Sonata II is backed by Antec’s Quality 3-Year Warranty.
