Hi all,

With last upgrade I bought a Sonata (1st model) and I'm running the same setup since then. Later I saw the Sonata II but wasn't excited.

I'm getting ready for an upgrade and I was wishing to see a new Sonata at this CES so I could pass all my setup to someone else. I was right! There is the Sonata III.

Sadly I'm not sure I like it. The finish (clear coat) don't seems as bright as previous and no more blue LEDs (I'm not a fan of very illuminated box, those 2 blue LEDs are the only I got but I liked them) and no more little silver door to hide unused ports.

I think I will pass... The 1st was the best for my liking.
 
I love my Sonota also. I dont miss my old leaf-blower tower at all. Only down side is the case's internal air ducting does not always work with newer components without modification. (like TT Big Typhoon, Zalman's video coolers)
 
p182 looks pretty rad. I wish the non-mirror version was also black on the inside.. maybe even with a window..
 
Antec was also showing off a new mirrorific design for the P182. This case has a mirrored finish on the outside and is painted black on the inside.

That's exactly what I've slowly been working on as a P180 project for months. Now I kind of hope it doesn't come out. :(
 
ya the look on the mirrored p182 is hot, too bad i already bought a p180b, no biggie though since im not gonna do a watercooling setup anytime soon.
 
The 182 would look good with just the mirrored front and black sides, along with black inside. The mirrored sides are a bit too much.
