Does this case have a lock so that you can prevent other people from being able to turn it on?

No. You can put a lock on it to keep people out of the case however.

Has anyone used cpu water cooling system with this case? How did that work out?

I used an Antek 920 closed loop system and it worked great.

Will the front USB 3.0 / 2.0 cabling that comes with the case allow me to use both the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 abilities of the ASUS Maximus VI motherboard? Or, will the ASUS Maximus VI motherboard even allow you to use both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 at the same time from the same motherboard external socket via front panel cabling simultaneously?

I am not familiar with the Maximus, but I use Asus P8Z77-Pro and I can use both USB 3 and 2 at the same time. The case comes with a dedicated USB 3 cable to the motherboard and also does supply a dedicated cable for USB 2 to the motherboard. The P8Z also has 2 USB 2 ports and 4 USB 3 ports on the back, plus you can add about 6 more USB 2 with add on slots cards.

Antec Sonata Series SOLO II Black Aluminum/Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

The SOLO II emphasizes Quiet Computing™ and reinvents Antec’s renowned Sonata line with a new set of attractive, practical features. Externally, the SOLO II’s dual-layer 1.0mm SECC / polycarbonate top & side panels absorb noise for exceptional sound dampening. To reduce vibration-related noise, the dual hard drive mounting system gives you the option of mounting your hard drives using tray mounts with silicone grommets or the tool-less suspension mount system. SOLO II features an anodized aluminum front bezel and piano black exterior for an elegant, professional appearance. With washable fan filters and two front panel USB 3.0 ports, the SOLO II is the rebirth of Quiet Computing™.
