stuck between the two!!! help needed

[johnno]

basically i am in the market for a new case and preferably a new psu. i have nailed it down to these two.

Antec SLK3800BUK Black Quiet Midi Tower Case- 400wsmart power psu

or

Antec Sonata II Piano Black Quiet Case - 450W Smart Power PSU

is the sonata worth the extre money. i dont really mind about the noise all i wont is the case with the most effective cooling due to overclocking. could you lot advise me on which is the coolest case

 

[johnno]

anyone??

im not going to pretend that i have used the cases but reading up on both i would be tempted to go for the sonata II...

heard that they are quiet cases out of the box, its got room for bigger fans(lower RPM produces less noise) and more fans(giving better cooling), it looks slightly better and the power supply is more effiecient... its weather or not you can justify the price hike... if the power supply isnt essential then go for a better case such as the P160 or P180...

I have the P160 it's the best case i've ever had. Loads of room to work in. Plenty of drive bays. Good cooling with 120mm fans as standard

He has not mentioned the P160.

The Sonata is worth the extra money if you think it is really, the better PSU makes it worth while in my eyes.
