looking to fit a enehim wc'ing rig with 2 120mm fans and radiator into maybe a sonata, it needs to be able to fit this and needs to try and have a window for the wc to be seen.

also another case is the superlanboy,, looks great... but hard to find sites that give more info on it,,, removable 3 12 inch racks and stuff
ANTEC ALUMINUM SERIES SUPER LAN BOY MINI TOWER CASE Model# 761345-15001-9
most likely would like this,, but need to fit a water cooler plus
2 5 1/4 drives with 2 hds a floppy and a internal zip.. think it would fit?

Here are the case's dimensions: 16.5"(H) x 8.25"(W) x 16.5"(D)


And the rest of the specs for the case is here:

I hope this helps.


Edit: Also the Sonata is 16.75"(H) x 18.25"(D) x 8.13"(W)

and the other specs:

With the Lanboy you will be able to but the pump under the drive cage (looks like it)... http://www.antec-inc.com/images/400/Lan_Inside2.jpg

With the Sonata you might be able to put one IN the cage, heres a pic http://www.antec-inc.com/images/400/Sonata_opencase.jpg

Both are built around the same frame, I think.

This guy did it in a sonata

give google a workout

The 120mm Fan mounts of the Sonata are good for WCing, too.

from what I can tell the lanboy is just an ugly sonata.

That Super LanBoy will be a little flimsy for WCooling I think. I just built one yesterday and it is very week on the back of the case. I would choose the Sonata any day just based on looks. Besides it's build very well.
