🏢 Antec Solution VSK3000 - Premium Mid Tower with Easy Installation Review

My VSK3000 Elite does NOT have a 2-pin PWRBTN for the system jumper panel. I'll have to contact Antec to see what the solution is - maybe the power button connector would be a workaround. I have to pry off the front cover to diagnose the problem. Antec's literature shows the front cover removed, but no instructions on how to do this. I have PowerLED, Reset and HD LED (6 pins total). Aggravating. BTW, putting up the breadboard worked.

This is my 3rd Antec case in 10 years. As with my other two, it can be difficult to add a 3.5" hard drive after you've installed a motherboard with a heatsink. There are better designs that make adding/removing 3.5" drives easier, but they cost more or are larger. Antec cases seem solid to me. You can steal the quality of the rental as it has been painted, everything on the front panel seems to be high quality. At some point I will probably ditch my oldest rig and go back to using the Antec…

This pre-built case is a great platform for a small power system. I added an extra fan for crossflow [air out front and back]. To be honest, cable management isn't an easy task, especially placing things where they won't block airflow. But the time invested is worth it. This system took a little time to create, but it's rock solid. This Antec case provides the right foundation to put everything together.

I bought this case as part of a build for a client. In general, I was very impressed with the case. It had good overall structural integrity while maintaining a very low noise level and a very reasonable price. My only wish was to turn on the front fan, but it's still a great case.
