Review of Antec Fusion

Are you looking for the perfect case for your media center PC? Antec Fusion might provide you the answer. Antec Fusion is a perfect choice as it seamlessly blends aesthetic appearance with functionality.

Some Special Features:

• Aluminum plate front bezel with Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) and Volume Control to work with media center applications
• Triple chamber structure to separate heat and noise of power supply, hard drives and motherboard for cooler and quieter operation
• Removable HDD brackets with extra soft silicone grommets to reduce vibrational noise
• Advanced cooling system: - 2 x 120mm Antec TriCool 3-speed fans installed as exhausts
• Quiet high-efficiency 430 Watt ATX12V v2.0 power supply with universal input and active PFC
• Low profile desktop height to fit in any environment
• 3 Drive Bays: Front Accessible: 1 x 5.25” - Internal 2 x 3.5”
• Motherboard: Micro ATX form factor (9.6” x 9.6”)

Antec Fusion is simply designed and somewhat resembles a high end amplifier. The front bezel is composed of plastic with a chunk of aluminum attached. The aluminum front bezel comprises of cut outs for an integrated VFD, hidden optical drive door and volume control knob. Two USB 2.0, one Firewire, headphone and microphone ports are also on the front bezel too. The hidden optical drive door is similar to the front bezel. It’s composed of plastic with a piece of aluminum attached to match the rest of the case.

Measuring 5.5” (H) x 17.5” (W) x 16.3” (L), the Antec Fusion is the perfect size for most entertainment centers. It’s composed of steel and weighs in at 17.4lbs which isn’t too heavy. Black paint accompanies the aluminum front bezel for a simplistic look.

While most manufacturers of computer cases are using the blue LED, Antec has installed white LED’s for the power and hard drive activity LED lights. This is a nice change as white isn’t as obnoxiously annoying as blue.
