First off I'm looking to build a new computer but don't know where I stand on my current case.
Antec Sonata (the old model, see picture)

So my question about my case is how will this fair when it comes to the latest hardware.
Graphics Cards, Power Supplies, Motherboards etc they are all getting bigger. Does anyone have a new build in this old Sonata case and how does it fair room wise?
Another concern is will it provide enough air flow? It has a 120mm fan both front and back but I don't know the rpm on them. Pretty low I would imagine because they are fairly silent.
Could this case contain a c2d rig with a 8800 or is it worth the extra to splash out on a bigger case with better air flow? If so which cases do people recommend? I would prefer black
Thanks in advance for any replies. Much appreciated.
