This review is from: Antec Fusion Remote Black Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case (Personal Computers)

Pros:

Two 120mm fans that when replaced with 800 RPM Scythe Slipstreams creates a silent and high airflow case.

Looks like AV equipment

Well built and laid out

Cons:

Display, IR, and Volume knob are useless - don't buy the case based on these features.

The remote software is crummy/buggy and the IR won't work with native WMC IR commands and my Harmony remote.

I'm not sure I'd spend the money on it again... hard to say. I think I'd look a little closer at the Silverstone cases and buy a windows IR. Antec does a really good job building and laying their cases out, so maybe, but I expected more out of the IR and display.

The 120mm fans really are the way to go in a HTPC to keep noise down. That plus a fanless PSU and it is as quiet as a Tivo.

This review is from: Antec Fusion Remote Black Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case (Personal Computers)

The case is great. It has a lot of nice details such as rubber pads to absorb vibration and a mounting system for hard drives that isolates them on soft bushings to minimize drive noise. Ventalation

The power supplu is mounted upside down in a separate compartment from the motherboard. There is an extension for the 24 pin power cable, but the P4 cable might be a problem. I would buy a p4 cable extension or Molex to p4 cable with this case, unless you are sure that your cables will reach.

The VFD loks kind of cheap and the remote looks and feels cheap. The Soundgraph iMon software that drives it is limited. I would consider buying the non-VFD version and a different VFD.

Found this to be a decent & solidly designed case that was easy to setup in most areas. the enclosure has great cooling with a nice built-in display and remote control functionality. A little disappointed in the limited disk drive capacity (2 Max) The instruction provided were rather slim, instalation of the CD/DVD drive was not clear at all. The entite plastic face has to be removed from your CD/DVD drive. Overall very satified for the price paid. The software provided with the unit to interface its remote etc. is not very intuitive to use. Overall Better instructions would go a long way to improve my ratings of the hardware and supplied software!
