The Soprano DX's black aluminium door, with its curvy design and blue LED, may make a striking impression, but it's the huge perspex window on the side panel that really draws the eye. This case is ideal for those who want to show off their fancy-looking components, and with all your kit on show the lockable side panel and front door might prove useful.
Two internal fans keep air circulating. The front fan is an unusual 140mm model, and draws plenty of air in past the hard disks. These sit in a removable cage with rubber grommets that help to reduce vibrations. Both front and rear fans have 4-pin Molex rather than motherboard header connectors, so your motherboard can't control their speed and they're fairly noisy when the PC is idle.
If you want to show off your components, the Soprano is a good choice. It's one of the more expensive cases in the group, though, and Antec's P182 is well worth the extra pound.
