Works great as a case for something not seen, like a home server

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2023

Style: VSK4000E-U3Verified Purchase

If you don't care about cosmetics, this case works great. I used this for my home server because of the space for hard disk drives, it being lightweight, and it being cheap. The case feels a little flimsy, but overall the case is great and serves its purpose well.

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2020

Style: VSK3000E-U3Verified Purchase

I bought one and found it sufficient and then bought another. I got lucky and found a discounted one that was listed with package damage for under $33. The case was perfect and I threw the box away, so it was a win. As far as the case goes, it's suficient for a mATX build. I like that it has two USB 3.0 ports on the front as well as a reset button. I also have a Fractal Core 1100 which is about the same size and better metal, but the Fractal case only has one USB 3.0 on front and no reset button. I like the look of the Antec better, too, but that's a matter of opinion. The rear fan is decent and I added another 92mm front fan. Good air flow. Large vented side panel. Can't do any cable management behind the board side panel, but with modular PSU, I don't have many cables to hide. I just tucked the power cable into the 3.5" bay since it was empty due to the SSD mount being on the bottom of the 3.5" bay. The rest of the cables tucked into the 5.25" bay under the DVD drive I installed in the top bay. The case screws require a Phillips screw driver to remove, but I replaced those with thumb screws right away (I found those on Amazon sold by Koolertek, a family owned business in the USA). The front panel is nice looking and well ventilated. Comes off fairly easy. The metal on the front and back is a bit flimsy and can have some sharp edges, but it's a budget case so it's to be expected. I'd buy another for a budget build.

Great Value Case!

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021

Style: VSK4000E-U3Verified Purchase

This is a well-made, sturdy case and a good value for the price. Easy to build in, plenty of internal drive bays, 3 5.25" external drive bays, dedicated SSD mounting, and decent cable management, not perfect but decent. It comes with snap-on drive rails that make it simple to mount your drives internally. It also has automatic locking (toolless) external drive bays which are nice unless you want to mount something that is not a "full length" 5.25" device like a lot of the USB/Front Panel/Card readers that are available. Mine is only 3" deep from the front of the faceplate and there is no way to mount it in this case. If you want to mount such a device in one of the 3 external bays, you will need to buy the 3.5" version and mount it in an adapter that will cause the auto-locking feature to lock it in. The case comes with (1) 140mm fan on the top and (1) 120mm fan in the rear. You can mount (2) 120mm fans behind the front grille (which I did) but if you fill all six of the 3.5" internal drives bays, your airflow will be affected. You can also mount (1) 120mm fan on each of the side panels. The included fans are the 3 pin type, so no speed control by your MOBO. Each fan does have a manual speed control accessible on the rear of the case so they will run at your selected speed. I replaced my fans with the PWM type so that the speed can be controlled by the MOBO which is how I like it. If you're into all the RGB stuff, this case is not for you. There are no windows/glass to show off your stuff. This case is more for old school builds which is one thing I like about it. I did, however, use blue LED fans for the front of the case and they match the blue power LED on the front panel. All in all a very nice and well-made case for the price.I would recommend it and would buy it again.

Spacious tower for a PC build

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2020

Style: VSK4000E-U3Verified Purchase

I installed a Gigabyte B365M DS3H motherboard in this case. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Cooler with 4 Heatpipes was a bit of a squeeze, but does fit. I threw an Arctic F12 fan on the case door and used another to replace the included back panel fan (because it was a 3-pin instead of 4). A Thermaltake SMART 600W power supply fit nicely in the top, and all of the panel fittings have made their connections to the Gigabyte motherboard (except for the headphone jack, which I will have to go digging for some day.

I wish there were drive rails for mounting the drives — currently I have a couple of SSDs floating around and a spinny drive screwed in to the drive cage.

It would be nice if there was built-in cable management, but I just have to pay attention to where the cables go, and velcro ties are easy to come by to force them to behave.

I don't know about the complaints of the thinness of the metal — it's sheet metal. Many (most? all?) of the edges are turned, so I haven't cut myself as I did on so many of the "golden age" cases of the 90s.

It's nice that both side panels come off, for ease of access to the sides of the drive cage. If the cage actually came out, that would be even nicer, but there's a reason this is a budget case.

The front panel power LED is blue, and not over-powering. The power button and reset button are different sizes to help keep from pushing the wrong one.

All in all, I'm very satisfied with this build. I anticipate being able to install a good-sized video card when the money comes along for it, although I may need to remount the fan from the inside of the door to the outside, depending upon how tall the card is. Airflow seems good based upon the slow speed of the cooling fans. (6 core system tends to hover around 40° C).

==================
Update 11-2023
I've been using this case for three years now, and it's still doing what I need it to do. Having changed the drive setup a few times I am more unhappy with the drive bays than I was, but it's still doing what I need it to do. The microATX board I put in doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the case, so I'm actually shopping for a larger board that will give me another expansion slot. I did not have to move the fan on the side panel when I added the graphics card, which just barely fit in the space from the back of the case to the drive cage.

I did get the headphone jack wired, but whether my MB is different than what the case was expecting, or some other reason, it seems to only send one channel, so I normally use my headphones with Bluetooth. I still think the sheet metal is fine for what this case is doing, and I still appreciate the ease with which the side panels come off. There seem to be more options now than when I built this system, so I might go with a different case depending upon what I found, but I have no regrets on this one, and it keeps the five star rating.

Formal, practico, bonito pequeño y buen precio.

Reviewed in Mexico on October 9, 2021

Style: VSK3000E-U3Verified Purchase

Me sorprendio este gabinete, no esperen paneles de vidrio, rgb y esas cosas, es un excelente gabinete para poder meter tus componentes a buen precio, a diferencia de otros con similares, este cuenta con 2 entradas usb 3 y un ventilador de salida de aire a nivel del procesador, otros traen una fuente de poder pero generalemnte son muy basicas, (de una de esas fuentes a la prestacion usb3 y un ventilador prefiero estas ultima) porque generalemte se compra una fuente de mayor calidad y la que trae el gabinete se bota o guarda, los paneles laterales se pueden desmontar lo cual puede dar una gestion de cables limitada pero presente, el color del gabinete es negro mate, es decir no es de esos brillosos que se manchan con los dedos la vista frontal me encanto porque se ve formal a la vista, su tamaño es exclusivamente para motherboards micro atx (24 cm x 24 cm) o mas pequeñas, el flujo de aire considero es bueno, pues en la parte frontal inferior se puede colocar un ventilador que meta aire frio mientras que el ventilador de atras saca el caliente. Finalmente el matrial donde se ponen los componentes es un metal mas rigido que el del metal que recubre al gabinete a mi parecer esta muy bien por el costo.

Pros
-Costo
-Prestaciones
-Para los que nos gusta gabinetes sin RGB este es su gabinete
-Tiene patitas abajo redondeadas lo cual garantiza que es lo que estas comprando ya que hay gabinetes que simulan tenerlas cuando no.

Contras
-El unico contra que le veo es la disposicion del "floppy" ¿Quien usa disquettes en esta fecha?
de ahi en fuera no creo que tenga contras. (salvo el perfil de usuario que seas, "gamer" o alguien como yo un jugador casual sin preocupacion por el RGB o Cristal templado y esas mmdas)

Es ist sehr schwer vorne die Blende des CD-Laufwerks zu entfernen. Außerdem hat eines der zwei bestellten Gehäuse eine zu hohe Mainboardschraube gehabt. Es war also eine der Gewindeschrauben für das Mainboard zu hoch. Ich habe sie dann getauscht. Weil das Gehäuse aber innen aus stabilem Blech ist und das Design zeitlos ist, gebe ich 5 Sterne. Außerdem ist der Preis topp....

Schlicht, schick und günstig...

Reviewed in Germany on August 30, 2016

Style: VSK4000E-U3Verified Purchase

Habe das Gehäuse ursprünglich für einen schlichten Gaming Pc gekauft, der einfach günstig sein sollte und wurde wirklich positiv überrascht.

Natürlich darf man bei dem Preis kein Gehäuse erwarten, in dem alles ohne verschrauben funktioniert und wo sich viele Gedanken bezüglich des Kabelmanagements gemacht wurden, jedoch ist das Gehäuse trotz des relativ dünnen Materials recht robust und wirkt in nicht billig.

Der eingebaute Lüfter (hinten) ist für den Preis sehr leise. Natürlich bietet das Gehäuse auch die Möglichkeit einen Frontlüfter zu installieren, da hört der Komfort allerdings dann auch auf, da man zum montieren, die gesamte Front abmachen muss.
Auch gelungen finde ich bei der relativ geringen Breite die Möglichkeit am offenen Seitenteil noch zusätzlich Lüfter zu montieren.

Jetzt zum kniffeligen Part.

CPU Kühler:
Ich habe einen Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo ohne Probleme installieren können. Nun ist dieser mit 136 mm Höhe auch nicht der Größte, aber ein bisschen Platz nach oben ist noch. Ein Dark Rock Pro oder vergleichbare werden vermutlich nicht passen.

Grafikkarte:
Eine MSI GTX 770 hat im ersten Versuch nicht wirklich in den Rechner gepasst. Das Gehäuse bietet aber speziell aus diesem Grund die Möglichkeit, die Seitenwand der Festplattenhalterung heraus zu nehmen. Wer also auf 2 der 4 Festplatten Slots verzichten kann, kann auch größere Grafikkarten einbauen.

Ein nettes Feature in dieser Preiskategorie sind die zwei USB 3.0 Frontbuchsen, welche beim Betrieb unter dem Schreibtisch unabdingbar sind.

Inzwischen steht das Gehäuse im Büro als Office Rechner, aber wenn man keine zu großen Pläne hat und ein schlichtes Gehäuse ohne viel Beleuchtung etc sucht, kann auch ohne Probleme ein Gaming Rig damit basteln.
