Alternative to Sonata and 3000B?

[Denis54]

I want to buy a new case. I want a case that does not have a door in front of the CD/DVD drives. I have an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe and a P4 3.0 with a ZALMAN 7000B AlCu fan.

The Antec Sonata or the Antec SLK3000B would have been my first choices but their drive door is a deal breaker for me.

What other case should I look at?

Compucase LX-6A19 . It's the same as 3700AMB witn no doorand is $40.00 if you select No PSU.

I have removed mine. And it is made so that it can come off.

I have a Sonata case. The drive door is extremely easy to remove. You press on the plastic near the top hinge and just pull it out.

Though if you're opposing the front door on the grounds of aesthetics, go ahead.

It looks like you're looking for a black case. If you have your heart set on Antec, why not the SLK1650B?

On the other hand, it also looks like you're looking for vibration grommets as well. The Compucase LX-6A19 is definitely a good choice for someone in that position. But the version fireontheway linked you to was pasty white. Here's a black version at the same site.

Enjoy.
