Sonata mod...

[cornbread]

What would you do to cover the wholes on this Sonata case?

I have this a a spare and you would not believe all the dust that comes in those little holes. It's funny, because it spells out part of Antec on the psu. Anyway, I thought about tape, but that would make it even worse for collecting dust.

Any suggestions?

I'd just taped them up on the inside using packing tape. No dust will get in. Atleast it didn't on my case. Or, you could just line the inside of the case with some paxmat. That way it is quiet, and looks good to.

The only thing about tape is it would collect dust on the outside where the holes are.

The Sonata II not released yet, but it will not have the holes, I guess they learned from their mistake.

Just try it. If it does start collecting dust, just take the tape off and find something else.

get a piece of cardboard and do the whole side. this way, it acts as a bit of a sound deadener (albeit very little but it all helps)

JB Weld it up?

I taped aluminum foil on the inside. Keeps out all the dust and the silver antec looks nice with the glossy black.

I covered mine with aluminum tape, bondo'd, sanded, painted and made them disappear completely.
I mean, I paid over $100 for that case, then I was expected to advertise for them too? Don't think so, they should pay me to do that.

You can tape just about anything to the inside. Even using some plexiglass held with some silicone adhesive, then add a couple LED's to light it up.

If you did not like the idea of tape you could try contact paper (2 peices, 1 smaller than the other stuck together to give an outer edge that is sticky while the visible parts would not be sticky). That would avoid the dust sticking to it issue, and you can get colored contact paper to match your case/design.

Another option might be to use a peice of thin plexi, you could either leave it clear as a "window", or perhaps etch/sand it so it lights up with any interior lights. A step further would be to put an led in the plexi, which would let you change the color independantly of the rest of the case.
