AntecVSK4000E-U3_US Black SGCC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Product well built and reasonably priced

It’s cheap, it works, it has decent expansion, it’s fairly compact for an atx case.If you’re looking at this case you know what this is, it’s an ancient case design in its overall layout. If you are attempting a build that can work within the limitations of case technology circa 2005, you’ll enjoy this chassis.It’s very plain, it’s an odd quality to enjoy about it but I do, there are no special features or unique quirks, it’s just a box to put computer parts in.There is no cable management, barely even any internal cable routing to think of, half my build in this is zip ties just holding back wads of cables and that’s fine because the side panel doesn’t show much at all.I used this chassis for a dual boot hardware testing system of sorts, for testing old gpus. So it’s running a core2quad and booting windows XP and Ubuntu 22. I’m not running anything super modern or fancy in here, it doesn’t need to look presentable, it just needs to hold assorted video cards while I toast them in furmark. It does that very well.Gpu length is a limitation, massive video cards will not fit in here. There is one old video card in my collection that will not fit in this case, a colorful Kudan GTX 560ti. It’s a 3 slot 3 fan card and it sits in the 3.5” drive bays when I try to install it, it’s just too big. A first gen GTX Titan fits perfectly fine, and that’s probably the 2nd largest card I’d be using.For a modern equivalent in dimensions, basically any dual fan card out there will fit no problem, longer or taller gpus will not fit at all.

It is a 12+ year old design with 10+ fixed bays, transformer located at the top making it "top" heavy, and is made of very thin sheet metal. Not at all a Antec quality.

I bought this case for a multi drive NAS system so I will write my review according to that. First off this is a cheap case so keep your expectations in line with the price. This will not compare in quality to say a $200 case for example. I got this case because of all the drive bays in it. 6 total 3.5" if you use the 1 external as well for hard drives, or 8 if you grab a couple of 3.5 to 5.25" adapters (this is what I did). Few things to note here. First it only officially supports 2 fans, but you can add 2 more 120's ones on the side with the venting spot if your creative. 90/92's would fit better I think. Second there is NO room in the back to hide cables so be ready for that when cable managing. Why they bother to put cable ties back there I have no idea. Last there are a few "sharp" edges to this case so watch sliding your fingers around, Overall I am quite pleased with this case for what I bought it for.

this is probably the cheesiest case I have ever attempted to use in the last 35+ years of assembling desktop computers. The metal is so thin, it only has one side. The motherboard mounting standoffs are not the standard thread thats been around for many years. The standoffs rotate in the sheet metal and won't tighten up to allow the motherboard screws (which are not standard threads, which results not being able to fully seat the motherboard screws to the standoffs).If I could give this product less than 1 star, I would gladly do so. ANTEC was once reputed as top tier in the industry, but sadly, those days are long gone for this company. This case is so much a piece of junk, I'm just going to eat the cost and send it to the metal recycler. I would NOT recommend this case to anyone. Pay a little more and get a head and shoulders a higher quality case. UPDATE - After further attempts to use this piece of garbage, it is next to impossible to get the motherboard mounting screws to line up properly to mount the board. Ended up ordering and additional mounting screw kit that included standoffs and "nuts" to have the ability to secure the standoffs to the case. It is a sad state of affairs that ANTEC cheaped-out by having this case made in China. This is a very, very, very poor quality product. Do not buy this or any other ANTEC products.
