Manufacturer Limited Warranty period (parts): 3 years
Manufacturer Limited Warranty period (labor): 3 years
The NSK6580 case from Antec is a stylish silver and black mid tower designed for style and convenience. The front panel is a minimalist design in silver and black with air vents along the side. A 120mm 3 speed fan pull air through those vents, across your system and out the back for efficient cooling with minimal noise. There are mounts for two 92mm fans at the front and an 80mm fan on the side for more cooling if you find it necessary.
The five hard drive bays are mounted in a removable cage with silicone grommets to reduce noise from transmitted vibrations. One of the four external drive bays has a 3.5" converter panel so you can install a floppy drive or a small accessory.
Included with the case is a 430W EarthWatts power supply with a universal power input and Active PFC. They also included a set of front panel connectors to make life easier, 2 USB, 1 FireWire, 1 headphone and 1 microphone jack.
Pros: Solid case. Looks nice. Tons of room inside. Room for 3 additional fans. Lots of room for additional drives (both internal and external).
Cons: The front audio jacks were loose initially, but easily fixed by retightening the screws inside the front case bezel. The included 120mm rear fan connector is a 4-pin molex, not a 3-pin mobo connector - but it has a 3-speed switch.
Other Thoughts: I added two 92mm front fans (intake) and one 80mm side fan (intake) in addition to the 120mm rear fan (exhaust) that's included, and it seems to be keeping the interior pretty cool. Good ventilation, and easy enough to open and vacuum out periodically.

Antec Quality
Reviewed By: JD on 4/10/2008
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Solid construction, no sharp edges, easy enough to get into. Plenty of power connectors, quiet (at least inside my cabinet), nice HDD drive rack, power supply more than adequate for my taste. Decent looking enough for an in-cabinet PC (no need for fancy LEDs, or plexi-glass windows).
Cons: Only 1 120-mm fan installed by default. Would have been nice if it came with at least one of the 90mm in the front to move air a bit better. Still with my config, temps run @ 47-Celsius on the MB with the cabinet shut tight around it.
Other Thoughts: My config includes; Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Intel Dual Core E2180 2 GHz EVGA 8400GS 512 MB
OS = Ubuntu Gutsy (Windows-Free and loving it!)

Nice case, quiet, solid

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This is not my first Antec case and most likely will not be my last. Antec makes a great case. This case is quiet, built solidly and easy to work with. There's plenty of room for expansion. With the exception of accessing the external 3.5" bay, there is plenty of room for big hands.
It's a very handsome case, it's very sturdy and is built with great quality.
Cons: Accessing the 3.5" external bay is a bit of a hassle. I installed a 3.5" card reader and spent a lot more time than I wanted to getting the drive installed. The 3.5" bay is actually a 5.25" bay with an adapter to accommodate a smaller drive.
Other Thoughts: This is a great case for a low to mid-range build. The Power Supply is probably not powerful enough to handle most higher end builds. There was enough power to handle 2 HDs in a RAID 1, a Radeon HD 4670 w/ 1GB DDR3, DDR3 1333 RAM and an Phenom II x4 CPU.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: 2 years of perfect service.
Very well laid out tower, nice airflow design, good businesslike looks, without being plain.
Excellent cable management space. Lots of good airflow, if you install an additional fan in the front.
The PSU is rock steady, and unless you are a gonzo gamer, more than enough.
Love the HDD mounting system.
Cons: It would be nice to see an 8 pin CPU plug, and modular cabling, as well as a front 120mm fan, however I knew all of that when buying.
Other Thoughts: Buy it, great value.

Fairly good; reviewed old one

Pros: First off, I'd just like to say that I did not get this new from Newegg. My uncle bought one about two years ago and never used it. I found it in a closet and am using it for an old Socket A computer. So some things may have changed. On to the pros
- Nice, clean design - Sturdy construction - Quality 430W PSU (OEM SeaSonic) - Decent airflow if you add more fans - Well-designed drive bay
Cons: - PSU cables are not sleeved (makes a mess) - Odd stock standoff placement. Only six standoffs installed, do not match up with ATX or mATX. Had to use pliers to unscrew (may have been due to old age) - Slightly cramped for ATX boards - Too many front panel cables - Front panel difficult to remove
And though it may not apply to most people, the Earthwatts 430W provided is good for modern mid-range systems, but when working with older computers (Athlon XP, Pentium III) it is lacking on the +5V rail and may undervolt with beefier systems (had to swap out a 9800 Pro for an X1300 or the computer would freeze periodically). However it is well-designed for modern computers.
Other Thoughts: Some of the cons (such as standoff placement) may have been corrected with newer revisions. As I said, the one I'm using is two years old but never used. It's a good case, but there are some things that could be improved.
Also the price is a tad high for what you get; I think an Antec Two Hundred offers a better price:benefit ratio, though this does look rather snappier.
Overall pretty good though.
