Congratulations on your urchase of the VSK-1000.

With its sim licity and elegance, the VSK-1000 delivers excellent functionality at an affordable rice. Its clean,

erforated front bezel maximizes air intake, working together with the included rear 120 mm TwoCool™ fan to create

a rofessional look that stays cool. 11 drive bays and eight ex ansion slots su ort a variety of configurations,

while the cable management com artment with included cable ties kee the case neat and organized. Able to meet

the demands of your build while offering a shar a earance, com etitive rice and an Antec AQ3 limited warranty

on arts and labor, the VSK-1000 is the best choice for nearly any value-conscious build.

The VSK-1000 does not come with a ower su ly unit (PSU). Make sure you choose a ower su ly that is com atible

with your com uter com onents and has a long enough ower harness to reach your motherboard and eri heral

devices. We recommend our High Current Gamer, High Current Pro or TruePower New ower su lies for the latest

ATX s ecification com liance, broad com atibility, and ower savings ca ability.

At Antec, we continually refine and im rove our roducts to ensure the highest quality. It’s ossible that your new case

will differ slightly from the descri tions in this manual. This isn’t a roblem; it’s sim ly an im rovement. As of the date

of ublication, all features, descri tions, and illustrations in this manual are correct.

Disclaimer

This manual is intended only as a guide for Antec’s com uter enclosures. For more com rehensive

instructions on installing the motherboard and eri herals, lease refer to the user’s manuals that come with

those com onents.
