Antec ISK-600M Micro-ATX Chassis Review

Complete System


The ISK 600M built took me 30 minutes to complete and overall I found the chassis to be rather easy to work with. Everything installed easy enough and there were only a few minor cable routing issues with the build; there are no cut-outs next to the motherboard for SATA cables.

There are three 3.5″ drive bays here, you simply screw your drives into the chassis rails; you can also screw extra 2.5″ drives to the base of the chassis.

The Sapphire R9 270X is hardly a small card, but it fits in the ISK-600M thanks to the cut-away at the front of the chassis. This cut-away allows the card to use the extra space behind the front panel and there’s certainly enough room for two graphics cards if you feel the need to get some extra gaming performance.

With the front panel on, you can see that cable routing isn’t ideal on the ISK-600. At least there’s plenty of space in the lower section to keep excess cables out of the way; leaving the top sections airflow as unrestricted as possible.

Here you can see I’ve used the bottom of the chassis to store excess PSU cables, leaving the top section looking neat and tidy with just one exception; the 4+4 pin CPU power cable has to trail across the motherboard.

There’s plenty of room for a large CPU cooler and you could even install a 120mm AIO cooler in place of the stock rear fan if you needed to.

All panels back in place and you can see how the side panel ventilation gives a little extra airflow to our graphics cards.

Overall a very nice looking build and a relatively easy chassis to work with.
