Manufacturer Limited Warranty period (parts): 3 years
Manufacturer Limited Warranty period (labor): 3 years
Antec has combined quality, capacity, quietness, versatility and environmental friendliness into a single case and called it the NSK6580B. Active PFC and an 80 PLUS certified EarthWatts 430 Watt power supply mean that you’re using less power and saving not only the environment, but money as well.
Designed for the do-it-yourselfer, the NSK6580B features thoughtful features such as the removable 3.5” HDD cage with five drive trays. Four front accessible bays fit 5.25” drives with a converter allowing a 3.5” drive to be installed instead. Silicone grommets isolate drive vibrations from the case for truly silent computing. Seven expansion slots allow maximum configuration flexibility. Both standard and microATX motherboards can be easily installed.
Your components are cooled by 1 rear-mounted 120mm TriCool 3-speed fan. Additional cooling is available with a pair of front mounts for 92mm fans and a ducted side mount for an 80mm fan along with VGA vents. Despite its bargain price, you will be pleasantly surprised by the feel and features of the .8mm cold-rolled steel case. A pair of USB 2.0 ports and a single IEEE 1394 “FireWire/iLink” port are mounted on the front for easy access as well as audio in and out ports.
Great Design, Very Well Constructed, Solid PSU, Very Good Value (with Discounting)

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: DESIGN. Well thought-out design (with a couple of minor exceptions), well constructed. Lots of features like on other Antec cases: mount points for 3 additional fans (2 in front, 1 on the side), vibration-dampening silicone grommets for the internal HDDs, removable internal 3-1/2" drive cage design which seems sturdy enough - remove two thumb screws, slide it out.
POWER SUPPLY. 80-Plus Certified with Active PFC and a solid performer - may not be 'best of breed' but, I've used this same model before without a single problem or failure.
MANUAL, PINOUTS, IMAGES, ETC. Newegg's description doesn't do justice to this case - visit the 'Manufacturer Product Page' link to see better descriptions. User's Manual (also available online) is very well written and, for those who may need it, clearly describes wiring pinouts for the front panel connectors.
Cons: *ONLY IF* you plan on filling up every drive bay and adding power hungry graphics cards, then the 430W PSU may not be enough. Otherwise, it's more than adequate for typical SOHO and (light?) gaming use - and you'll probably still have plenty of power to spare.
FRONT FAN MOUNTS. A minor issue - these are designed for 92mm fans which, although not uncommon, are relatively limited in selection. (Still, they beat 80mm fans!)
SIDE PANEL LATCHES. Another minor annoyance and not an issue if you'll rarely open up this case. Even fully loaded, the case is light enough that it moves around when you try to disengage the latches and swing open the side panel - you almost need a third hand to open it up.
Other Thoughts: UPPER-HALF 'BUDGET BUILD' CASE. I'd put this case in the upper-half of the 'budget build' category. One trait that concerns me is the entire plastic front panel - it seems soft enough to scratch easily. I would like to have seen an eSATA port on the front panel but, USB and FireWire are clearly the dominant (and better?) interfaces.
HARD DRIVE CAGE TRAYS. Initially, I thought the removable HDD trays would be susceptible to noisy vibrations but this turned out to not to be the case - it's nice and quiet.
FOUR EGGS. PRICE IS THE ONLY REASON I DON'T GIVE IT FIVE EGGS. With good discounting, this case and PSU package would be a Five Egg value!

Great case
Reviewed By: on 11/30/2008
Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This case is great, runs quietly and working inside was fairly easy. It looks better than my old case sitting under my desk
Cons: Just a tiny bit too small for my EVGA 9800 GTX. I got it in, but I wouldn't surprised if I damaged something. Stock PSU is a little weak.

Did you?
Pros: Looks nice and has a reasonably efficient PSU. The features are all there, including Firewire ports if you need them.
Cons: Zoiks! Look at those sharp edges, Batman! You better be very careful when putting systems together. I managed to seriously gash my finger when popping off the 5.25" drive cover. I have never injured myself this badly when working with a computer case before. Was I a bit careless? Sure, but there are a lot of danger spots in this case.
Other Thoughts: It's still a good case overall, but if I were a system builder, I'd really consider something else. I bought three cases and nicked myself on each one at least once, with one severe cut.

Price/Performace Ratio is Superb
Reviewed By: Rnalvine on 10/7/2009
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Roomy case with decent airflow. Additional mounts for aftermarket fan installation (if needed - so far, I have not).
The psu is good quality, 80+ rated and provides enough connections & power for pretty much any basic build.
Case is solid, has enough room for most basic parts. For a budget build, I'm very happy with this case.
Cons: The frontside blue led is very bright.
The rear fan speed adjuster control hangs at the end of a wire and needs to be secured to the inside of the case; would have preferred that it was mounted into the exterior of the case, itself.
Other Thoughts: Purchased 8 months ago. Housing a Gigabyte ga-ep45-ud3l motherboard, e5200 processor oc'd to 3.0gz on stock cooler, 4gb ram with mild oc, and a low end video card.
Plenty of power left over to upgrade the processor and/or video card in the future.
At $100, it's been well worth the price.
