Designed for new and experienced system builders looking for a versatile, reliable enclosure for the home or office comes Antec's VSK4000E. Constructed with durable, galvanized steel, the VSK4000E is a tough case meant to last for several builds without fail. The VSK4000E is also made to keep your components cool thanks to its bottom and front side vents, 120 mm rear fan, 120 mm front fan mount and rear water cooling support while meeting Intel® Thermally Advantaged Chassis (TAC) 2.0 guidelines. Furthermore, the stylish black front panel is equipped with two USB 2.0 ports, Audio In/Out jacks and other essentials for your home or office needs.
Pros: Easy to work in, surprisingly comfortable for a cheaper case. Despite the lack of grommets, I didn't feel like the case was about to cut me. I never once found myself wanting for space. The front panel cables lay nicely flat behind the motherboard tray. I also like the added touch of the removable HDD brackets to accommodate a long graphics card. This is billed as a MicroATX case, but it looks like it could possibly accommodate a full ATX board just fine.
Cons: It does show that it is a cheaper case in a few areas. There are no grommets anywhere, and the front panel buttons don't have a very solid feel. It is rather light for a mostly steel case. A couple of the punch out panels seemed loose already. Thing is, it's the same ones that would most likely be removed first anyway. (top 5.25 bay and top Expansion Slot)
Overall Review: I would have no problem building a much beefier machine in one of these cases. Sure it doesn't have the polish of a pricier case, but I have also built in much worse cases at this price point too
