Antec Sonata II or P180

[Paolo Pignatelli]

What are the main tech differences between the Antec Sonata II and the P180?
The P180 is slightly more expensive, what would one get for it? I would
have it house an Asus P5AD2-E-Premium running an Intel 775 Pentium 4 640
(3.2Ghtz) an Asus Extreme AX300SE/T Radeon card, and two WD 250GB Serial ATA
drives (so not that much heat, I hope). Noise is an extremely important
consideration, but I am not an extremist ( am working from a Dell Precision
530, which I consider too noisy)

TIA,

Paolo.

Not that much heat? Have you seen the reviews of the latest Intel processors
on the 775 socket? What do you mean not that much heat?

Take a look at www.antec.com/us for more information about the two cases.
The P180 looks like an ATX case with some BTX bits like the PSU at the
bottom. The Sonata II looks like a Sonata with a face lift.
