Antec VSK-4000B-U3/U2 ATX Computer Case - Black

First rate case ! Especially for the price. I have had one for two years and have just bought another. But perhaps not for people who want to tinker about a lot as it has limited space and makes it awkward to work on. But in another way that is one of it's assets. If you just want to set your machine up and then leave it, this is a first rate choice. Before I bought my second one of these I tried a couple of the newer styles that have a box at the bottom for the PSU and a couple of drives, with the insides being constructed of perforated metal. Supposedly to aid ventilation. The truth is they seem to create a whistling sound even with ultra low fan speeds. Basically a "Referee's Whistle" with a computer built inside. The more expensive of the two (more than twice the price) I was able to return to Amazon, the cheaper of the two (£10 Cheaper) I had to dump as I has already discarded some of the provided accessories. If you just want to set up your machine then leave it, and live a quiet life, this is the one to get. It's a lightweight, but sturdy case. I have an SSD drive mounted in it, along with a Seagate 8TB IronWolf Pro Internal NAS Hard Drive. Mind you this drive was an awful lot cheaper when I bought it ! No noise. Just the odd grunt when accessing the Seagate. This little Antec VSK-4000B-U3/U2 ATX "Old School" PC case, is worth a serious look.

Best budget case I have bought. Lots of space for drives.

Decent case for what you buy. Comes with a single 120mm fan in the rear. 120mm vent in the front and 2x120mm vents in the case door where you can also put 2 fans. Built quality is average and was actually slightly bigger than I thought it would be, should havexpect checked the measurements. You get what you pay for really. But the screws and mobo mounting pins included are terrible. The screws did not fit into the pins and none were alignment pins so there was no way to fix the mobo in place when attempting to screw it into place. Had to salvage some decent ones out of a 12 year old PC I had stored away. Front cover takes some coaxing and brute force to take off and so do the forward expansion slots for DVD drives.

It's very lightweight but not after inserting several 3.5 disks into the drive bays, which is basically the reason I bought this as there's very few which offer reasonable capacity at the same price range these days. There is space to directly fit one fan at the front of the case to help cool the hard drives, although airflow is sucked in from the side holes rather than direct from via a mesh on the front on certain other cases. Cable management around the rear is a pretty tight squeeze because there is no expanded middle section on the rear side panel to allow the cabling to "breathe" but I managed to fit my flat PSU cables quite neatly with a little effort, but I wouldn't recommend passing any more than a sata cable, cpu power cable and main motherboard power cable at the back. I don't know if it's a case issue but the front panel reset switch didn't work on my motherboard, whichever way I connected it, but the main power switch and power-on and hdd led lights worked fine. Other than front bay airflow issues (case came with one rear fan and there is a side vent) I would recommend this case to anyone looking for a reasonably quiet, enclosed case with several 3.5 inch hard disks. Update (May 2023): The main downside of this case I've found is that the hardrives are not in trays, and fit facing front to back of the case, so not easy for those who swap and change them quite often, and each drive needs 4 screws to securely fit. If there is no sound dampening added, the hard disk will resonate with a low hum on the case.

One buyer said it was a flimsy case, I have found no problem with the build quality. Have now replaced my old case with this one and fitted all my components very neatly. I don't have hard drives as I use NVMe drives and saved a lot of space which meant I could add a few extras that I couldn't get in my media centre case. All in all it's a good case.

Exactly what I wanted. No bloody silly coloured lights! Plenty of space inside. 2 5.25in bays and 1 3.5. buttons ON THE FRONT with USB ports etc, NOT ON THE TOP WHERE THEY TRAP DUST!!!.

didn't want a flashy case and this one is perfect - gives the classy look that would suit a home or office environment. everything well laid out, metal is good thickness, didn't bend, fan included inside is silent, no sharp edges to slice your fingers open, and even the huge cpu cooler DeepCool AK620 DIGITAL CPU Air Coole fitted inside - quite pleasantly surprised. very pleased with the choice.

Nice case the size advertised is incorrect, H50cm depth 46cm width 24cm Height is 16.1/2, Depth 17.1/4 , Width, 7.1/2. Inches. H. 42cm,D.44cm,W18.5cm The difference in measurement is unacceptable especially the width 5.5cm difference. The depth inside the case from motherboard to underside of side panel is appropriately 7 inches, 17. 7cm.(just for information) I was disappointed with the incorrect size hence the 4 stars. I would return but just the inconvenience I understand now why some purchasers say the case was tight it is for me as well. I will have to make some minor adjustments to meet my needs the correct size needs to be corrected on amazon website. Generally the case is well constructed, I found no sharp edges. The front cover plate is a bit weak handle with care if removing to in stall a front fan, I believe the manufacturer should have this installation of the front fan as an option. Note if your buying this case based on the measurement advertised, look elsewhere. My measurement are approximate contact the seller for correct size in writing "smile"

Das Gehäuse habe ich als Ersatz für einen BigTower gekauft. Die Komponenten passen gut.

Ottimo prodotto

Une bonne tour encore avec des baies de 5,25 et 3,5 pouces. Certe, on n'est pas sur des boitiers robustes et lourds comme à l'époque, mais il fait le job quand même. Je regrette juste l'absence de visserie qui aurait pu être utilisée pour fixer mes périphériques. À noter la présence d'un ventilateur à l'arrière sur connecteur 3 points, à brancher sur la carte mère.

Excellent boîtier “budget” pour une tour de stockage / NAS maison. Les plus: • Vrai gros point fort : jusqu’à 5 HDD 3,5” en interne • 3 baies 5,25” en plus : pratique pour ajouter des racks/adaptateurs et augmenter encore la capacité • Boîtier simple, efficace, montage OK pour une config stockage • Connectique façade U3/U2 pratique À savoir : ce n’est pas un boîtier orienté airflow/gaming (ventilation d’origine limitée). Pour une config qui chauffe (gros CPU/GPU), prévoyez d’ajouter des ventilateurs ou choisissez un boîtier plus ventilé.

Prodotto perfetto, come da descrizione
