That is crazy. I had to cut a few mm off the side of the sticker so it would fit there nicely. My case is the old Sonata case, not the new Sonata II. I've done a few "mods" to it to make it even more quiet. First I covered the Antec holes in the side of the case (which aren't on the new Sonata II) with black duct tape. The other thing was to replace the fan in the power supply with a low noise type. It moves a little less air, but the whine from the Antec fan in there was driving me nuts. The big 120mm fan I found to be very quiet and did not require a replacement.

If I were to but a new case today, the Antec P150 would be my choice. It has a layer of plastic applied to the steel panels which acts as a sound deadener, as well as the HE430 power supply which features active power factor correction and modular cables so you don't have a jumble of cables in a zip tie in your computer, you just unplug the cables you don't need.

Don't you get free stickers when you order free Ubuntu discs for free?....FREE

You can stick them on your computer as well, like I did. Maybe they're not as "cool" but...meh.
