I just checked on Newegg... and Destrox, you are correct

so then why doesnt everyone get it? and why, on Parabola's machine specs, does he go with the 37 gig SATA + 120 gig IDE? I dont understand the reason behind this..

Destrox

The 36.7 GB drive is 10000 RPM, while the others are 7200, with longer seek times.

The 10,000 RPM Sata drives have a seek time between a 1/3 and 1/2 of 7200 RPM IDE drives. The IDE is for long term storage of media and the SATA is for system files, games or video editing ect.

Udate on the Antec Sonata:

I am really growing quite fond of this case. The motherboard installation was quite simple. I added a few more screws for support, set the mb into place, screwed it in, and was done. I had an extra set of hands from a friend to hold it in place while I set the first couple of screws, but other than that, piece of cake.

The case isn't loud at all, it looks great, and everything I hear seems to indicate that Antec's power supplies are top notch. I think that I could highly recommend this case.

No case is loud... All the fans you dump in it are.

Lian-Li cases own Antec cases.

Lasereth

They're also like $900.
