News Antec Sonata Mid-Tower Case Review

Virtual-Hideout takes a look at one of Antec's "Lifestyle" series cases, the Sonata:

​

"Antec hopes to accomplish a lot with the Sonata chassis; in fact, the name they chose for it, "Sonata", speaks volumes about what their goal was. A "Sonata" was a popular form of a musical composition, many of which were written for the piano (or pianoforte for the meticulous out there) during the classical and romantic musical eras. From this, it's easy to see why the case is labelled as being "Piano Black", after the popular ebony black colour that many grand pianos are finished in. Going further, you'll learn that the Sonata form perhaps reached its popularity and was most perfectly refined during the classical era; thus, the Sonata in many ways represented some of the best of the classical era - refinement in form - and from this, it's easy to see that with the name "Sonata", the marketing folks were trying to present the idea that this case represented the best in terms of refinement in cases. (Or perhaps they were just following Hyundai's lead ) Nevertheless, it was certainly a good name to choose - though does the case manage to live up to it?"
