Overall we are quite impressed with what the Antec ISK 110 VESA has to offer.  It allows you to easily build an extraordinarily compact computer which can be hidden out the way on the back of your monitor.

You may have noticed that we didn't conduct any performance tests with this case.  Unfortunately, we didn't have a system available which fell within the power constraints of the 80W integrated PSU.  The CPU cooler limitations pretty much rule out overclocking in this case too, and there are no fans in the case so the only noise generated will come from the CPU cooler.

Installing components into the case is fairly simple, although the small interior dimensions can make things a little fiddly.  Most of the cables can be stowed at the front edge of the chassis, so that airflow isn't restricted too much.

While the ISK 110 VESA is designed to be mounted to the back of a monitor, it wouldn't look out of place as a media centre PC or even as a standalone desktop.  This means that you're not restricted to mounting it on the back of your monitor should you require a small form factor PC for another purpose.

The Antec ISK 110 VESA can be purchased from Scan for £65.  While this may initially appear a little expensive, we have to consider that the case comes with an integrated power supply.  With other small form factor cases, the cheapest of power supplies will add £20 to the price, effectively bringing the price of this unit down to £40 – £45.
