Hi everyone...some of you might know me from the SFF forum or as the operator of SFFClub.com. Anyway, Antec contacted me today about the Antec Fusion case which is an HTPC system coming out in July. They offered me a chance to review the case and I was wondering if 1) you would like to see a review of this case from my website and 2) if you would like a review what sort of things would you want in it? I have never reviewed a HTPC system so I always like to ask questions to make sure I get it right
Below is a picture of the case and then some information about it that I received from Antec. It looks like a beautiful case!
The case features an innovative triple chamber design to isolate the power supply, hard drives and motherboard into separate cooling zones for a quiet, cool system ideally suited for media center applications. Fusion supports Micro ATX form factor motherboards and the motherboard chamber includes dual three-speed adjustable 120mm TriCool(TM) fans. The chassis comes equipped with Antec's custom SU430 HT power supply unit and includes four expansion slots and three drive bays. Additionally, the case features two external USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire(R) port, audio connectors and volume control with a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) on the front bezel.
