Has anybody used the Sonata II? I need help
I need help figuring out how to take out the front plastic covers where the 5.25" drives go. There are no screws, so do I just punch them out with a screw driver? Please help if you know. The manual is very vague when it comes to this and it seems as if someone who didn't know English very well wrote it...

Try reaching from inside the case and push out (careful of any sharp edges, but I haven't encountered any in an Antec case). There's probably a metal "flap" in front of it (may not have one on the top slot), you'll have to twist this back and forth to break the bit on each side holding it in (careful, this will leave a sharp spot to hook your hand on).

Thanks Blue, I'll try that. So far I've taken the Antec CPU Airflow Director off, the power supply out, and some other preparations before I install the parts on Monday.

the whole front bezel probably snaps into the metal part of the case. Look inside the case along the front edge and will probably see some plastic tabs. These would need to be released from the metal slot and the whole fron should come off. Then just remove the bay covers that you need.

The cpu chases is useless your better off leaving it out.. And I would also get another 120MM fan for the front I have the same case and added the extra fan, cause it is tight and the temps were high..
