antec sonata cases

i seen one at a lan party this weekend. look like a very nice case.
 
i have three of them and i love them, great construction, easy to work with, and they have a stock 120mm fan at the front and the back, great for cooling.
 
I love my sonata, it is very sturdy, and great looking. Mine however did not enclude a front fan. One thing I dont like about it, is the price I payed, and right after new egg had a sale of sonatas. Also how easy the paint chips on me, maybe its because I go to lans, and my friends are jackasses to it by putting all there shit on it to the lan and back. But overall, I love it to death.
 
There's no intake fan on the Sonata.

However, I've managed to keep my temps down while overclocking, so the lack of a dedicated intake fan isn't really a big issue.

Here's what I have inside.

2x 120mm Fans (1x Vantec Stealth 120, 1x stock Antec 120mm fan) both on Fan Controller molex connectors.

3x 80mm Fans (1x CoolerMaster LED, 1x Coolermaster casefan on a home made blower card). And one in the Antec PSU

1x ~50mm on my Radeon 9800 Pro, stock) Blower card blows onto 9800's hs.

1x 60mm (Northbridge)

Even with those fans, it's still very quiet.

Case temps are around 22-30 depending on room temp, which varies a lot in this bedroom.

did you have to do any case modding to get all those fans in there? if so...pics or linky! if not, please explain how you did it because i'm getting this case and need to know how to get better cooling because i plan on oc'ing.
 
I picked up 2 of them to build rigs for other people. Man they are quiet. I would definately pick one up for myself.
