Build your next home theater PC with the sleek Black Fusion. This micro-ATX and mini-ITX media center is a beautiful enclosure with a minimalist style and durable build. The case is constructed from 0.8mm cold rolled steel and the contemporary brushed black metal finish will look great with any entertainment center.
The Black Fusion offers an innovative three-chamber design to prevent components from sharing heat. Large 120mm fans are mounted on the side to quietly vent heat and keep your system cool. Each fan can spin at three different speeds to match your viewing demands. For your convenience, the internal drive bays come with a drive cage for easy installation. Also, the rear panel provides four expansion slots for all of your media peripherals.
The front panel display features an IR receiver and LCD that works with media center applications. The receiver is compatible with Windows Media Center and Vista. Finally, the Black Fusion also comes with a 56-button remote control and iMEDIAN HD by iMON software to help you manage your media. Your next home theater PC is waiting for you. Build it today with the Antec Black Fusion!
Pros: Everything works flawlessly with the case, VFD, Volume Knob, Silence. Like I said, this case makes for a great HTPC, it blends in with the receiver I have and also the Plasma and rack it is on. Unit looks great and is built very sturdy. The included software worked flawlessly but was outdated, updated to the new software and you guessed it.. worked flawlessly yet again.
Have been doing PC and HTPC builds for many years and this was a very pleasurable design to work with. Loads of room under the hood and excellent rubber straps for handy and neat cable management all while promoting great airflow.
Lastly, the case is extremely silent. With the computer on and browsing the web or watching blu-ray movies you can never hear it, even at 2 feet from the unit you have to have your ear right up to it to hear any noise at all. Uses Antec Tri-cool fans to exhaust air out of the right side.
Overall I am very pleased with the unit and will recommend it to customers.
Cons: The optical drive mount can be trouble at times as certain optical drives have different mounting holes or positions which do not allow it to mount withing range of the push button on the front. This causes you to not be able to truely push the button on the front. Problem was remedied by using a different optical drive, but is something that you should know.
Other Thoughts: Used to house a Quad Core HTPC running at 3.0ghz with 4 gigs or RAM and a 9800GT. Works flawless and stays silent at the same time.
Highly recommended

Very Nice

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Easy to install. LCD works very well. Remote is solid. Nice cover for the cdrom. Good anti-vibration padding. Easy running of cables.
Cons: Can't connect up the LCD/IR and the power switch at the same time. IR reciever has a somewhat narrow recieve window. Manual in horid. Somewhat shallow PSU area.
Other Thoughts: I Used this as my MythTV fronend box. It works well. I was able to configure lirc and the LCD panel easily. I have not tired getting the wheel working yet, but then I have not tried. It works well. I would like the Remote to be back-lit but that is minor. I will buy this for my next MythFrontend.

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Its all black. Looks nice. Easy to work with, good room to play around with.
Cons: The remote I is having issues with the up mouse button. For the most part the remote isn't bad nor is the IMON software it comes with. its no flashy but its decent for HTPC managment software.
Other Thoughts: For the most part this case is bigger then I expected but that isn't really a issue for me, as it still looks like something that belongs in your entertainment center.
