Good Case If You Don't Often Make Changes
Strengths: Quiet, 80Plus power supply. Solid construction and nice looks. Very space efficient.
Weakness: Power may not reach all motherboards. One internal drive is trapped under the CDROM.
I still like this case even though it has a few drawbacks. Part of the trade-off of having a mini vs. a mid tower case is everything is tight. One internal 3.5" drive mount shares space with the lower external bay. As a result you need to remove your CDROM to get to it. Also, for my motherboard I needed an extension to the power plug to reach it. Seems to be very quiet. Internal drives are...

NSK3480
Strengths: Compact design, quiet fan, solid case
Weakness: Not a lot of room, almost too small
The biggest problem with this case is it best suited for using one CD/DVD drive and using the video on the motherboard. I have two cd/dvd burners installed, so the only space for the hard drive is on

Too short
Strengths: Good looking and compact.
Weakness: Too short (front to rear) for easy assembly. Motherboard power cable too short.
Power supply cables are very crowded between power supply and CD drive and block air flow to power supply.
Power cable would not reach motherboard with suggested routing through side of case and had to be forced through the smaller opening in the bottom of the p/s section. This made installing the IDE drive flat cable very difficult.

Antec Quality
Strengths: Very Quite, Antec Branding, Space saving, Style (Clean appearence)
Weakness: Almost too small, extra harddrive bay takes up an external 5.25 slot
Antec quality and branding makes this case the choice for someone who wants a nice small desktop case. I use this for my media PC and it sits nicely next to my entertainment center. Space inside is limited. There was a lot of fiddle factor when putting my computer together but it turned out nice. I added 2x92mm front fans and I can barely hear them.

Antec NSK3480
The Antec NSK3480 ($100) is a mini-tower computer case that accomodates micro-ATX motherboards only. It is essentially the smaller version of the Antec NSK4480 ($100), and is the successor to the Antec NSK3400 with the addition of a 380 Watt EarthWatts power supply that meets the 80 PLUS certification. Other than its smaller size (click here to compare the two cases in 3D), the NSK3480 also...
