5 of 5 Looks nice on my entertainment center Tuesday, December 23, 2008
Tony from Pompano Beach, FL
Very good looking case, built in remote receiver, extra quiet, plenty of space and a price that nobody could beat. My only complain is that the remote receiver only works with Mediacenter and no other programs like WMP etc. The rest is just perfect! Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Top Quality, Beautiful Finish Saturday, December 20, 2008
Mark Leiker from Arvada, CO
The quality of this unit is incredible. The case is solid. The interior is designed to allow full-height expansion cards. The 120mm fans are extremely quiet and move LOTS of air. The silicone shock absorbers keep the hard drive(s) quiet. The 430W power supply should be more than enough for anything you want to put in there. The aluminum exterior finish looks like a high-end stereo system and not some cheap plastic box. I was originally looking for a case that cost half as much but took a chance on this. Wow, I was NOT disappointed. Well designed, well built, and looks awesome. My reluctance about the price disappeared as soon as I pulled it out of the box. After my friends saw it, they wanted to go buy one. My only (minor) disappointment is that it does not include a remote control. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Good case, but Buy.com sent me defective one Wednesday, December 17, 2008
JY from Blacksburg, VA
The overall case is good.
But, Buy.com sent me possiblly used case. I found the upper left corner has a dent though that area was covered with styroform when I received it. It does not include a remote which is suposed to be included in Antec Veris Fusion Remote (According to the box I got).
I asked about this problem to Buy.com, and they reply me like this:

5 of 5 GOOD PRODUCT GREAT PRICE Monday, October 20, 2008
John C from NC
I have been building pc's for many years and was pleased with the quality of this case.It fits in with my other hifi equipment quite nicely.The vfd crashes now and again (running media center 2005).Running athlonx2 5000,sb audigy4,aver tv card, with standard fan case keeps thing cool enough with fans running on low.Waiting for remote so can't say how well IR works. All in all a good product with a great price from Buy.com. Would suggest double boxing on delivery, box showed signs of damage although unit was not damaged.

4 of 5 Excellent Case, Minor LCD Problem Monday, August 25, 2008
Andre from Irvington, NJ
This is an excellent case for building a Media Center / Home Theatre PC, quality materials, excellent build quality, good cooling system. Extremely simple to install optical and hard drives. The only minor problem is that I wish there were more control and flexibility with the LCD display. It would be nice to control more of what information the LCD displays, and when the computer is in S3 "Sleep" state, sometimes the the display will turn on and illuminate although the rest of the PC appears to be off or "asleep". However, this problem seems like it could subsequently be corrected with better driver software from Antec (a driver/program must be installed from the CD Rom supplied by Antec with the case to control the LCD display). Other than that, I think I would be hard pressed to find a nicer, more elegant case for a Media Center PC at this price. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 I great learning experiance. Sunday, August 10, 2008
Mike H. from Elsmere Ky.
This was my first attempt to build a computer. I had a lot of fun doing this. The Fusion case made it interesting because of the extra connections to the MOBO for the front display. The cooling fans are are great having the 3 speed switches. It comes with software for activating the function of the front display. It comes with a 450 watt power supply that should be plenty for the needs of a Media Center application.
Antec needs to update it's instruction manuals for this case. There were some items I had to go to their web site for info on. This was not difficult to do though. I rate it 4.5 overall for beginner and a well experianced PC builder. This a good case to build a Media Center PC. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great product - great price Saturday, March 15, 2008
A Customer from Gate City, VA
PRO:I have always loved Antec and have used their cases/power supplies for years. This one is well engineered, quiet. I put in a ASUS M2N-MX SE Plus AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX MB with 2GB corsair memory, AMD 4000+ AM2,ASUS 8570 graphics,hauppage tv tuner, 500 gig HD, and LG HD/BluRay DVD . Windows XP ME and voila... a single box that sits on my plain vanilla LG 42" Plasma for pennies compared for buying it all separately. This is the beginning of a new revolution.
CON: No instruction manual Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 REALLY GOOD CASE! Monday, January 21, 2008
William White from Marietta, GA
This case is FANTASTIC. I like it better than the Lian Li cases I own. The case has several great attributes:
1. Extremely QUIET! The case fans are very quiet, easily the quietest case I have ever owned. The built in power supply is so quiet I had to make sure it was on!
2. Attractive clean modern design. Gorgeous brushed aluminum front bezel with simple blue lighting for power and hard drive.
3. COOL LED display. The blue LED display works great with Windows Media Center, showing a spectrum equalizer when music plays, shows the time, weather, if you have email. This feature really works well, I thought it would be just for looks, but it really is like the display you would have on a stereo system.
4. Excellent build quality. Solid buttons and thick metal construction.
Finally the case has a volume control which will adjust windows volume. Very cool.
The only thing to be careful of is that this case is for Micro ATX motherboards only!
I really like this case and am glad I bought it. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great case to build a Mediacenter from. Tuesday, December 18, 2007
Danny from Michigan
I've had this case running in a media cabinet for about a year. The quality is fantastic...right up there with your best stereo equipment. It has lots of room inside and two huge adjustable speed fans to keep things cool while staying whisper quiet. The only negative is, despite it's size, it only fits MicroATX motherboards. This limits your choices, but you should still have not problem finding a good board. I suggest Gigabyte which makes some very nice ATX boards. The LED board in the front looks cool, but doesn't really offer much in the way of programmability. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Would Buy Again Friday, November 30, 2007
SJ from Jensen Beach, Florida
The manual is incorrect,out of date and pooly written. I had to contact their support to find out how to connect the power switch wires to the IR panel.
I used the GIGBYTE GA-MA69GM-SH2 mother board and had the issue of having to use SATA cables with 90 degree connectors. You will loose the two bottom connectors as they are blocked. Yes you can cut out the panel and it will work, but if Antec had located the cable routing opening differently there would not be a problem. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Very nice HTPC case Wednesday, November 28, 2007
Roger from San Angelo, TX
Definitely worth the money. You get what you pay for.
Very high quality.
I am using XP media center edition and had no problems at all setting it up with an AMD AM2 Asus motherboard. Used a Rosewill fan that fit perfectly. You do have to make sure the cpu fan you use is going to fit and be quiet. Was this review helpful?
