Once again Antec is hard at work bringing us a new product lineup. This time they have redesigned their quiet series case with the release of the Sonata III. This sexy black beauty is targeted towards those who don't want to spend a lot of money, but want the best in performance without all the noise. The Sonata III is all that and then some. This time Antec is giving us a better power supply. No, not some cheesy PSU that you'll just pull out and throw away. Antec is actually including their 500w Earthwatts power supply!
