    I will be starting my first build shortly and I've my case choice down to the following 2


    Antec LifeStyle SONATA II Piano Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 450Watt SmartPower 2.0 ATX 12V V2.0 for AMD & Intel systems Power Supply

    or

    COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel, SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

    with..Rosewill RP550-2 ATX 2.01 550W Power Supply 115/230 V CSA, CB, TUV, FCC, UL


    The second option with the seperate case & PSU is working out about €30 more expensive.

    What d'ya reckon????? bearing in mind that I will not be attempting any high level overclocking.

    Cheers for any info

    I have a CAC-T05, just after spraying the interior black (bit of a rough job).

    It's a nice case.

    I love my rivet gun.

    go for a p180 or a CM stacker, much nicer cases imo, But its all about personal taste, as your the one that will have to look at it daily. So pick what you consider nice.

    this any good? if not then go for the sonata they are a lovely case and the psu isnt too bad at all depending on how much stuff your putting in

    I'd go for the sonata, for the better power supply and the lovely quietness

    The Sonata it is ...........order it today:D

    I'll be hopefully going for E6400/E6300, 7900GT, 2 GIGS RAM so I'm assuming the 450W PSU should be fine????

    7900GT is very easy on the power supply, you should get by just fine

    Would it be to late recomending a Antec Solo/P150? The P150 comes with a PSU (same as sonata) only its pearl white or something.

    I had a first gen sonata and now the Solo, slightly taller case much better hd mounting (suspened or with trays) and better cooling.
