Frustrated

Antec Sonata Elite Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec Sonata Elite Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Similar to the above or other reviews, nice look - good design for noise abatement.

Cons: No parts list! I cannot figure out how to install a DVD burner - from what I gather from other reviews, there should be some screws that will allow me to slide the burner into the slot and it magically notches into place - I do not have such hardware that came with this case, of course I wouldn't know since there is NO PARTS LIST with this case - just the usual computer hype about the features. About some of those features - the 2.5" drive mount for an SSD, I'm taking advantage of that but have to go get a left angle SATA cable because the rolled edge is too close to the drive for a standard install - the power cable is tight too. If it's intended to go in BACKWARDS, perhaps the diagrams should be different! I've got my computer just about complete, but because of these little oversights - I have to run out and get some esoteric parts to make it all work - very frustrating!

Overall Review: No doubt when I get over this hurdle, I'll calm down and enjoy the build, but attention to detail is what they need to do, when they don't give the buyer sufficient detail to detect the problems in advance!
