Modded? Highly doubt it. Besides, why would you want to mod it? It is made of really strong material, has a VERY nice black finish like a piano  (hence the name Sonata), and has TONS of extra features, like the HDD bay is to the side, HDD trays that can be removed, and even a dust filter in the front right near the HDD's.

And my Athlon XP2000+ is OC'ed. It's original speed is 1.67GHz. Right now, it is @ 2.0GHz.

Yes the Antec home page has some very vital information and pictures. One thing that must be noted is that the 380watt TruePower PSU in the Sonata has been completely redesigned to be quieter than the normal 380watt TruePower. Also, it has 'Fan-only' power connectors, with which you connect case fans. The PSU automatically adjusts the case fan speeds according to how hot the case internal temperature is. :)
