Antec Veris Fusion Black

I've been using this case for about 6 months now as a media center PC. I've got some positive and negative comments. Positive: 1) Good quality power supply and fans.

2) Pretty quiet (depending on how you set the fan speed). 3) All steel and very sturdy. Heavy components can be stacked on top. 4) Power Supply supports S3 sleep mode so the PC wakes up and becomes fully functional very quickly with the press of a button on your remote control. (Of course your motherboard must also support this feature) 5) Relatively easy to install the motherboard, drives, and expansion cards in this case.

Negative: 1) Difficult to set up and get working properly. I've assembled many PC's and am very good with this sort of stuff. Nonetheless, this case presented a challenge.

Good luck figuring out how to connect the LCD display and properly connect the power button. The manual and other literature provided by the manufacture is terrible and the manufacturer's website isn't much help either. The software that controls the LCD display and that you use to configure the unit to respond to your remote (IMON) is an absolute enigma. 2) The information on the display is constantly scrolling-there's no way to change this. Best you can do is adjust the settings (scroll speed, font, etc.) to make it less annoying.

3) For the most part, only worthless information appears on the LCD display. 3) This case is very big and may not fit in some component cabinets.

4) Despite it's large size, this case only supports a micro ATX (MATX)size motherboard. So, your motherboard options are limited. 5) A remote control is not included.

6) In order for the unit to respond to your remote control, you have to aim it directly at the IR sensor on the unit. This can get very annoying. 7) The removable cover on the top of the unit doesn't seat properly and leaves some unpainted gray metal exposed. I had to color the exposed gray metal with a black Sharpie marker to make it less obvious.

8) Power supply is not standard ATX. It has a special connector to power the display. So, if the power supply fails it may be difficult to find a replacement.

9) The large volume knob on the front of the case doesn't serve any practical purpose. I've been using this case for about 6 months now as a media center PC. I've got some positive and negative comments.

So, if the power supply fails it may be difficult to find a replacement. 9) The large volume knob on the front of the case doesn't serve any practical purpose. I've had the Antec Fusion for about 18mos now and I use it in my bedroom as a music server (I have a Silverstone LC16MR in my theater room).

The Fusion is a nice, nearly all-in-one solution. It is one of the lower cost units you'll find with a power supply and a VFD (vacuum fluorescent display).

And, because the case is from Antec, the power supply isn't a garbage one. Since the unit is smaller than most other HTPC cases, it accepts only micro-ATX motherboards. This should be taken into consideration as it means limited expansion slots and requires shorter video cards. That should be common sense to anyone building a small form factor HTPC, so be forewarned. Use a Micro-ATX motherboard that has a lot of built-in features to reduce the need for expansion cards. Also, there are only two hard drive slots, so storage capacity is limited.

I have 2500 cd's and with lossless compression, it takes up 1.2 terabytes or one gargantuan hard drive. That left me with only one drive for music videos, hence the Fusion's relegation to my bedroom from the home theater room. The good news, when the Fusion is paired with a silent video card and a low power consumption CPU; the Fusion is very quiet. The seeking of hard drives is about the only noise this unit makes. Thanks to its dual 120mm exhaust fans, the case moves a lot of air to cool things down with virtually no noise from 5' away from my bed. Even the hard drives come with vibration absorbing mounts.

I can still hear the hard drives seeking, but that is not the fault of the case, but rather my choice of hard drives. The VFD also doubles as a remote sensor if you have a Windows XP MCE or Vista Home Premium remote. But be aware, if you want to use the wireless Microsoft media keyboard, you will need the external remote sensor as the VFD remote sensor will not work with the MS media wireless keyboard. The volume knob is more decorative than functional.

It is meant to give it the look of an audio component, but if you use digital audio outputs, the volume knob with have no effect as it only controls the volume of the analog outputs. The front firewire and USB ports allow for quick connections of external drives and devices.

I have had problems with the VFD, most likely a motherboard conflict as I have the same VFD in another computer and it works just fine. In my Fusion, the display turns to a single line of garbage characters after a while and only clears after a full power off. In my theater room, this wasn't a problem as the unit was just too far away to read. However, in my bedroom, this is annoying as the unit is close enough for me to read.

I haven't used the bundled iMon software, so I can't comment on it. With 2500 recordings (yes, I actually own that many cd's), anything other than WinAmp is just too slow to navigate.

If you are a relatively computer savvy person with common sense, this is a very nice case to work with if you remember the small form factor. Use short length video cards, short height expansion cards, and low noise / power consumption parts. Don't think this will accommodate a high-end gaming machine, that's not its design or purpose. Plan out your component purchases with the case / motherboard size in mind and you won't run into problems. I had great anticipation about this case. The initial reviews looked positive and the price was right.

I purchased this online for $150 shipped. Installing the main board and components was easy. But after firing up the newly built system, the problems started. First, the LCD screen dislodged and 'fell' behind the front panel. I removed the panel and realigned the LCD panel.

Within a day, the problem reappeared. I finally glued it in place which appears to have resolved the problem. Next issue was a strange rebooting when I touched the front panel. A little research on the Internet revealed that static electricity easily causes a short.

Even though I had the latest model with the 'integrated ground wire', I could deliberately cause shorts by just touching the front panel. After researching the problem more, I figured out that adding a heavy gauge ground wire between the front panel and power supply would fix everything. Next problem was a shorted wire which was caused by sharp edges inside the case. Some of the internal gussets are not finished and therefore very sharp - This seems ridiculous to me that Antec can't spend a few bucks quality work. Here are some more problems: -The iMon drivers used to control the LCD screen are very buggy.Vista occasionally shows the LCD screen 'disconnected'. Not sure if this is a software bug or hardware problem.Even though the case is very big (much larger than my Onkyo receiver), it's too short to fit most modern video cards.

I had to try four cards before I found one that fit. It looks like the case just isn't tall enough.There are a lot of screws that go into plastic, of which can only be used a few times. After that, you have stripped screw holes. Again, another unacceptable example of poor quality.The power supply makes an intermittent 'buzzing' sound which appears to be related to a bad fan.Customer support is very poor. I called Antec several times about these problems and they were not helpful at all. Responsiveness is slow and they put the burden on the customer to keep support issues progressing through their process. I was never able to replace any of the defective components and I just gave up trying.It has a volume knob.

What is the point of this? If this case is used as a HTPC, then the receiver would control the volume. In fact, if you connect your HTPC to your receiver with HDMI and/or SPDIF, then the PC can't control the output volume. So I'm not sure what the point of this knob is.The USB and firewire ports look unfinished. Why didn't Antec put these behind a panel/door like most $39 DVD players? Again, very cheap quality.

I have this for more than a year. Works great, a little tight to work inside, but if you don't want to put anything bigger than your receiver in your living room, this is it. In its lowest setting, the case fans are absolutely silent. I use mine in my bedroom, with a 8800 GTS (it fits), and I can tell when it is on, if not for the bright leds. Unfortunately, you can't turn them down (nor the display), so sometimes I have to cover them in order to sleep. Wife love it, find it beautiful (unlike any other machine/receiver on the house).

'There's no mistaking that the Antec Fusion Case has a very sleek design. It fits a micro ATX motherboard, has two 120mm fans, two hard drive bays and one external 5.25' drive bay. They also include a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) and an Active PFC, efficient 430W power supply. It even uses a three chamber thermal design that facilitates cooling and will result in lower case temperatures than a traditional desktop case. This design also means it will be quieter.
