Antec NSK4480 Case Review
By Gabriel Torres on April 3, 2008 Page 1 of 6

Introduction

Hardware Secrets Silver AwardNSK4480 is one of the simplest cases from Antec, targeted to users that want to build a mainstream PC with a good 380 W power supply (this model comes with an Antec EarthWatts 380 W power supply already installed) and prefer having a smaller PC with a more conservative looks, but with a good construction, a 120-mm rear fan and side duct.

This case uses the traditional “mini-tower” size, with three external 5 ¼” bays, two external 3 ½” bays for floppy disk drives and three internal 3 ½” bays for hard disk drives. It also has a very conservative front panel, with only two USB 2.0 ports, on/off (“standby”) button, reset button and power LED. No headphone and microphone jacks are available.

On Figure 4 you can see the rear panel, using the very traditional ATX design, but with the addition of one big 120-mm fan there.
