Antec Solution Series NSK2400 Black/Silver Steel MicroATX Desktop Computer Case 380W ATX12V v2.0 Power Supply

Pros: Well constructed, well ventilated and well laid-out. There are some very clever features of this box which facilitate easy installation and good airflow. The silicon HD mounting grommets are a nice touch.

It is also incredibly quiet.

Cons: It's not listed or included, but you will need at least a 3 foot IDE cable if you want to link the HD to the optical drive.

Also, as other reviewers have stated, this box would benefit from having a firewire port on the front.

Other Thoughts: This is a nice box. It's stable, and the steel walls that make up the modularization of the HD and optical sections have led me to put my monitor on top of the box without hesitation. I would definitely buy one again.

Pros: It was VERY easy to build a system with this case. For me, it was my second build. It looks awesome and the PSU is perfect.

Cons: None.

Pros: This is the best case I have ever had the pleasure of assembling a system into. The whole ordeal of building or rebuilding a system is something I've done at least once a year since about 1985. First off, not one scratch from bare metal. Second this is a quiet and cool design. I don't care about the 3 chambers, but hey if thats what makes it quiet and cool. Its got special silicone mounts for the two hard drivers. I'm really thrilled with my 65 Watt Dual Core Athlon 64X2. Its been a long time since I had a cpu run this cool.

Cons: The only real gripe was that it arrived with a dead power supply and the unit that comes with it has longer than normal cables so a normal spare power supply would not let me get the case closed. If you do need to replace your PS you will need one with extra long cables or you may be looking for an extender for the little black/yellow plug for next to your cpu. This PS has 6 wires, but will work with a 4 wire plug in a lower power MB.

Other Thoughts: It is a little large for a MicroATX case with just two DVD and two internal slots. But that is an inevitable tradeoff. Since the special hard drive mounts require special screws it would be helpful if there was a place to screw the extras in so that they don't get lost if you only put in one HD.

Pros: Very easy Case to build from. Very quiet with great cooling for a mico-ATX.

Cons: None for what I used it for.

Other Thoughts: I used this case to build a computer for my mother. It is a deck top with no expantion cards. This case is quiet, good looking and fit well in her cabnet.

Pros: Case is quiet and looks like a stereo component. All connections worked with my Gigabyte HD board without any problem. solid construction. Would buy again.

Cons: Minor
1. Make MB a tray and also add a lower board level hole for 90 degree SATA connections. I had to cut a hole for a clean installation.
2. Place protective film on front of case.

Other Thoughts: This case could be smaller.

Pros: I'm not one to pay more than a Benjamin for a case. In my price range, this is by far the best case I have seen. The airflow is carefully thought out, with moveable baffles, air intakes in the right places to cool the HDs and video card as well as through the heat sink and out via two very quiet 120mm fans. The power supply is a typical high-quality Antec. Nice silicone grommets for the HDs and pads for the cover keep the case quiet.

Cons: The color of the front is not the same as brushed aluminum, meaning that you pretty much have to go with black DVD drives. I would have liked to see color-matched DVD drive covers, which I don't even think are available separately.

Other Thoughts: The perfect, and I mean perfect, heat sink for this case is the Ninja Mini. It fills all available space, and is wide enough to be right next to the case fans. It can even be used passively in this case.

Pros: Quiet, solid, generally well made. Excellent price for a case of this quality w/ powersupply.

Cons: None yet...

Other Thoughts: Case was a bit deeper than I had imagined.

Pros: Case looks good, essentially silent with the fans on low, plenty of airflow.

Cons: Trying to find a DVD burner with a silver face.

Other Thoughts: I am very impressed with this case. It really fits in well with the other HT gear. I would like to see it in black.

Pros: Quiet (when the fans are on low), cheap considering it includes a PSU, works great as an HTPC combined with an Asus M2A-VM.

Cons: Quite large (wouldn't fit on my entertainment center shelves), impossible to use a single IDE cable for CDROM and HDD, would prefer if it was all black.

Other Thoughts: Can't be beat for the price.

Pros: Easy case to work on, very quiet when running. Very nice looking too. Used it for a recent build at work. May get another for a home entertainment pc at home, it would work great for that.

Cons: None
