Looking for a Media Center case!
i'm looking to replace my HTPC case, right now i'm using the Antec Aria, and i would like to replace it for a Antec Minuet, Fusion, Fusion Remote or NSK2480, as long as i'm not forced to use low-profile brackets...
note that i live in Montreal, Quebec, so if you want to give me links to US web stores, they might charge big $ for shipping, or they just don't ship to Canada.
the NSK2480 look good enough for a HTPC, while being not very expensive, AND using 120mm case fans and standard-size power supply.
The case can be used too, and without a power supply (i still have my unused Seasonic S12 430W here, would be perfect for that case).

Well the Sonata 3 is not a media case.
The fascia is made up of specialized components (control knob, front buttons, IR Remote/receiver) that have a high cost due to low volume. They add a significant portion to the cost. Also, since they are fairly unique products (HTPC cases, that is) they get a higher upcharge than a typical ATX case.
There are other options, but they will cost your more. Antec has the benefit of lower cost due to volume.
