Antec ISK110 VESA M-ITX Chassis Review

Today I will be taking a look at the ISK110, a M-ITX chassis solution from Antec. The ISK110 has a few stand out features that I’m keen to take a look at today, first of all is it’s overall size, with it being barely larger than an M-ITX motherboard, it’s built in PSU and it’s VESA mounting capabilities.

Antec have been in the computer component industry since 1986, in that time they have established them selves as one of the leading brands and build a strong fan base in the computer community. They’ve already got a solid range of products from their ever popular CPU coolers, chassis and even cleaning products that have proven well with consumers, businesses and many of which have won award from us here at eTeknix. With nearly 30 years of product knowledge behind them, Antec should know a few things about making a good component, something we hope to see reflected in the ISK110.

“Going small shouldn’t mean sacrificing form or function. The ISK110 VESA is crafted for small, efficient builds without compromises. Just 78 mm wide and mounted on a stable clip-on base or included VESA mount, it fits two 2.5″ drive bays – perfect for internal SSDs. Perforated mesh construction and space for a low-profile CPU cooler provide an ample amount of quiet cooling capability. An incredibly small yet powerful 90 watt adapter completes the package, providing power with up to 92% efficiency. Ideal for corporate builds, kiosks and digital signage, the ISK110 VESA is a miniscule case solution with massive features.” – Antec.com
