[SGVLUG] water cooled cases.

[Brian Belgarde]

Off the shelf, I really like the Antec Sonata cases. Nice big slow fan,
rubber grommets to dampen the HDD, easy to service and the quietest I've
ever used. They run from $80-$125. There are two versions, the latest one
lets the front hinge swing back on itself, otherwise it's pretty similar to
the previous version. They're also very easy to get into and service. I
really recommend this case.
