[SOLVED] reusing an existing Antec NSK case?

[57vroom]

Hey guys, I have posted previously in the systems forum about building a new desktop and suggestions always come back to buy a new case..... but I really like the Antec ASK case that my current system has. Why is everyone against reuse and saving a great case like this from the recycling heap?

When I look at new ATX mid towers cases they all seem pretty flimsy, and honestly I am not worried about cable management or such as it is just a desktop that goes in the desk cabinet and only moves when I feel the desire to clean it out.

I get the idea of the power supply being old, so I would replace that, but what am I missing? Thanks!

I think most people are probably concerned with the limited cooling the case provides (also depends on WHICH NSK) or that Antec may have fallen out of favor for some people. Myself, I'm using an old Cooler Master case that's at least 10 years old with out any issues.

Will I be limited on PSUs that will work with this case? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129072

No. You can install pretty much any standard PSU into that case.

Thanks for confirming and sorry if a dumb question. I only end up building a new system every 5-8 years and don't keep up with this stuff.

Looking to get a Seasonic SSR-550FX https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151189
