I keep looking at the Antec Sonata case gathering dust and think I should 
do something with it. The case is probably as obsolete as whatever is in 
it. It does have an upgraded PS since the heavily hyped Antec PS was one 
of a batch with a high failure rate.

Then reality sets in. What would I do with it? I'm not a gamer. That 
reality set in when the video card failed and all I could find in the 
local shops were Hyper-Phaze Mark 7 Dual Thrusters that were about $200 
more than I was going to pay for a generic card.
