Antec does it again

Nice power supply, plenty of room, quiet, it looks awful pretty.

Stupid feet! They fall off very easily

Overall I love this case. I've been using Atec cases for a while and this one is nice. The adhesive on the feet is corny but I can get past that. Still a well made case

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Sonata III 500 ESD Issue Solution

Basically a very good product on the surface. See cons though.

The ESD problem on this product has caused me untold amount of hours between mobo and USB based peripheral vendors in order to nail down this problem. This includes many, many painful hours with various tech support personnel, emails, phone calls, ....over the last year and rebuilding systems.
No current, as of 3/9/2010, clear communication from Antec that buying one of these products right now, will or won't cause the purchaser to have to deal with this ESD issue on the front assembly!

Contact Antec customer support and ask for the replacement front panel assembly kit. This is Antec's "solution" to the ESD problem.
I've not received and installed mine yet.
I'm posting this as this was not posted here in Newegg that I could find as of this date, 3/9/2010. I also could not find, although don't claim I didn't miss it, on Antec.com/support
