NSK 4000 / 4480 / 4480B

Super Mini Tower Case

This case is designed to meet Intel’s Thermally Advantaged Chassis (TAC) design guide requirements.

The NSK4000 Case Only

NSK 4000 comes without a pre-installed power supply unit (PSU). This allows you to install your choice of Antec power supply to match your individual needs.

The NSK4480 Case with EA-380 power supply

NSK 4480 and NSK 4480B come with an EarthWatts 380 watt PSU. Universal input, active PFC single 80mm fan cooled power supply that follows the ATX12V version 2.2 specifications. This includes dual +12V output rails that deliver safer and more reliable output to your system’s components. Featuring higher energy efficiency, which reduces power consumption by up to 25%, saving you money on your electricity bill. EarthWatts’ power supplies have achieved 80 PLUS® Certification, the latest independent standard in power supply efficiency.

n addition EarthWatts includes a variety of protective circuitry: OPP (over power protection), OVP (over voltage protection), and SCP (short circuit protection).

The power supply comes with a main power switch. Make sure you turn the switch to the ON (I) position before you boot up the computer for the first time. Normally, you won’t need to switch to the OFF (O) position, since the power supply includes a soft on/off feature. This lets you turn the computer on and off by using the soft switch on the computer case. If the computer crashes and you can’t shut it down using the soft switch, you can switch the main power to the OFF (O) position, to clear the fault, then reboot.

For models designed for sale in the European Union:

Antec power supply models feature Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in accordance with European standard regulation code EN61000-3-2. By altering the input current wave shape, PFC improves the power factor of the PSU. A better Power Factor increases energy efficiency, reduces heat, improves output voltage stability and prolongs the life of all equipment. The PSU’s high efficiency design and the quiet fan deliver not only a cleaner but also a quieter operating environment.
