Puget Systems Description

Puget Systems is the exclusive seller of this popular Antec chassis, with a black front panel. We feel this looks much better with black optical drives, as the more common silver front panel is not an ideal match for either black or beige optical drives. The microATX NSK2480 case is part of Antec's 'New Solution' series of cases. Designed for HTPC use, the case has a pair of 120mm fans to cool the motherboard area, rather than the usual 80mm or smaller fans in other HTPC cases. This lets the system stay cool with less noise, making the NSK2480 one of the quietest HTPC cases available.

We have found the power supplies included with this chassis to not be reliable, so we source the chassis without power supply. This results in a $20 discount, which is passed along to you.


Puget Systems Professional Advice
John D. (Production Technician) Says:
This is a very nice case for HTPC systems. It has a thoughtful layout that optimizes cooling for the CPU, which helps to keep the fan noise low. Separate compartments for hard disks and power supply makes it easy to keep things organized--it not only looks good, but also avoids obstructing airflow. The black front looks great as a home theater component. The only drawback is a lack of direct airflow over expansion slots--so powerful video cards could potentially run a bit warmer, but it won't be a concern for a typical home theater build.
