Antec ISK 300-65 is a small case targeted to users that want to build the smallest PC around. Here is a summary of what we found about this product.

Strong Points

• One of the smallest cases on the market today.
• Two 2.5” hard disk drive bays.
• External power supply (approved on our tests).
• Fan with speed control.
• eSATA port.
• Excellent cost/benefit ratio.

Weak Points

• No anti-vibration mechanisms for the hard disk drives.
• No screwless mechanisms for holding hard disk drives.
• The two USB ports are too close to each other, preventing you from installing two “fat” USB devices at the same time.
• The use of a slim optical drive increases the final cost of the computer.

ISK 300-65 is a good product for users looking for a case for building the smallest PC they can. The use of an external power supply helped to reduce the size of the PC, to lower the acoustic noise level (as this external power adapter doesn’t have a fan) and also to reduce the temperature inside the computer. Costing USD 70 it provides an excellent cost/benefit ratio for users looking for the smallest mini-ITX case around.
