🖥️ Antec VSK2000 U3 Slim Desktop Micro Review

I used this case to build a HTPC. The fit and finish of the case are excellent. I did NOT encounter ANY sharp edge and did NOT cut myself while assembling. Installed 250GB SSD, 1TB HDD and Blu-ray optical drive with ASUS mobile device and Seasonic power supply. It's a tight fit, but it worked. Front USB slots - USB 3.0. You need to buy an adapter if your MOBO only has USB 2.0 ports. You may also need to purchase several rectangular adapters for the power and data cables to your drives. I am…

I love this case and have already ordered another one. It's small enough to fit in places where only matte cases are currently used. It has enough slots for a DVD burner, a memory card reader, and an optional USB 3 header [yes, some of us still use those cryptic I/O devices]. Things are coming and the system is running pretty fast; for me it is extremely important. Now here's what you need to know to be successful.

I installed a Gigabyte B365M DS3H motherboard in this case. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo cooler with 4 heatpipes is a bit tight but fits.

I wish there were rails for that along the…

I like the slim cases (about 4 inches wide) for their ease of use and the space they take up on the equipment shelf. I recently used an Antec VSK2000-U3 chassis to recycle an AMD Ryzen 2700x 8-core CPU with a gigabyte AB350M-DS3H-CF, 32GB RAM and Samsung NVMe storage from a previous build from a larger chassis. I added the Gigabyte GTX 1650 low profile graphics card that I chose for the case. First, the stock AMD Wraith CPU cooler doesn't fit in by about 10mm, so I installed a low-profile…

Incorrectly labeled Mid Tower when intended for MICRO ATX boards. When they pointed out to Revain that the product page was fake, they just dumped their scripts on how to get a refund. I had to tell the representative several times to read what I wrote before she came out of her trance and pretended to understand. After a late delivery that delayed me by a week on a project, I needed to get it done as quickly as possible. The estimated shipping cost was the main reason I chose Revain…
