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

Decent quality case at a decent price, not flashy but does the job well

I needed a case with a lot of drive bays to upgrade my home-built NAS machine. This case is ideal for that job. Its black finish, inside and out, looks really slick and there is plenty of room inside. A case fan is also incIuded. I would recommend the case to anyone with similar requirements.

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.

Good value basic case but was surprisingly too tight to fit my mATX motherboard with a raised cooler. Front of the case broke as I was trying to fit a front fan. A little too brittle I though.

The case is very retro looking but you can install DVD Rom drives & it has multiple bays for HDDs . If your not bothered about pretty lights or not having a glass side panel but more interested in a practical pc case then this case is fine

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!!!.

The Bottom Line: On paper, it looks like a decent budget-friendly case, but once in hand, the thin materials and poor finish make it hard to recommend, even for a basic build. Where it falls short: Thin Construction: The metal panels feel very thin and prone to warping. There’s a lot of "flex" in the chassis that doesn't inspire confidence for long-term use. Finish Quality: I found several edges that were quite sharp—definitely a "knuckle-scraper" if you aren't careful while routing cables. Basic Features: While it supports ATX, the lack of modern cable management options and the dated interior layout made the build process more frustrating than it should have been. Value for Money: Even at a budget price point, there are better-built options available that don't feel this flimsy. The Verdict: I decided to return this item as it didn't meet the quality standards I expected for a safe, sturdy PC build. If you're looking for a budget case, I'd suggest spending a little more for something with rolled edges and better structural integrity.
