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 The included software worked flawlessly but was outdated, updated to the new software and you guessed it..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.

Overall Review: 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

Pros: Lots of cooling with good sound dampening for the hard drives, the whole case infact takes steps to reduce vibration/noise. There’s more room inside then some HTPC cases, This one lets you fit a full size video. Looks great. The LCD/IR port works well (once you get it working). You can totally control the thing with the remote because the software lets you emulate a mouse and has a on screen keyboard. The remote software lets you assign any key on the remote to a keyboard key (or key combination such as Alt + Tab). It also lets you make profiles for any program, and will auto switch the profile when that program has the active focus of the OS. Example: In power DVD pressing the 4 button takes me to chapter 4 of the dvd, but when watching TV pressing the 4 button changes to channel 4, and when in Firefox it maximizes the window. Its very much like the Logitech game pad/game keyboard software. The DVD door flap works great

Cons: The media center software it comes with is horrible,. The Remote it comes with is crappie. Short range (5ft), and it has no backlight, I recommend getting a Logitech Harmony. The inside of the case has some issues. I 100% recommend getting a modular PSU with this case. LED is a molex and not a normal pin connecter. It was not marked as the power LED, and the manual did not say it was, the manual didn’t even have this connecter listed. The power on is either remote or the push button on the case, not both. The documentation it comes with is a joke, badly written, hard to understand, and with no photos to help explain anything. Support at antec website is ok, But the support at the Imon site was possibly the worse I have ever seen. I assume they are a Chinese company or something because the answers are in broken english, and they often don’t answer all the questions, or in one case they simply said “yes” to a question that was not a yes or no question.

Overall Review: Summary: Great case that looks good, but has a few downsides. Not for someone who hasn’t put together a few comps before, and if you run into a issue you are on your own (manual is useless and there is basically no support) The LCD disappoints, but the Imon remote software delivers. Note:look at the dimensions and think ahead about where you are going to put it. I thought I knew where mine was going but after putting it in my TV cab, it sticks out just far enough to stop the doors from closing. I didn’t account for the wires sticking out the back. Duh!

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.

Overall Review: 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.

Pros: Looks professional and stylish, even near other entertainment system units. Two low noise 20mm fans. The case is divided in to three cambers, so heat and noise from one section wouldn't affect another. The LCD panel and remote control work in tandem with iMedian software and Microsoft Media Center. Good price.

Cons: The included manual is a joke. The eject button on the case doesn't match many of the Blu-ray drives eject button; found only two drives from LG.

Overall Review: System Specs: Antec Fusion Remote Black Intel Q8200s with Scythe NINJA MINI Cooler (fanless). ASUS P5N7A-VM Seasonic S12 II Windows Vista Premium 64-bit

Pros: Great case to hold a mATX motherboard, a standard power supply, and a standard video card. To have an included LCD display is pretty cool. And you can still put an optical drive in it. I do like the additional fans with speed control, and the provided panels block an unused fan hole perfectly. The rubber suspension boots for the hard drives are nice, keeps shocks to a minimum.

Cons: The price. I took off 1 egg for this. For what you get it's a bit over priced (computer case w/LCD). The LCD screen is not the best quality either. It seems the price point of $80-$90 is where it should be.

Overall Review: After using this case for 6 months I've gotten used to configuring the LCD screen and remote commands through the iMon Manager software. I have it display a graphic equalizer (fairly responsive) whenever audio plays, and displays a large clock when there's no audio (largest font to fit the whole screen). The contrast and display is perfect for my setup, as I have it about 1 foot from the floor, and viewing it from the couch is perfectly visible. I use this case with XBMC media player and it took a bit to get used to programming remote codes, but adding custom keys now is a snap. I never use the volume knob on the case, so it's basically for esthetics for me. The case blends in as another A/V unit with the others. Family members are surprised when I tell them the case is actually a computer. I do use the front USB ports all the time for temporary hardware. Great case all in all, and very functional.

Pros: No, it doesn’t have silver dust polished in it, but is a very nice case. Rather than point all the obvious wonderful things that everyone else has already done, I’m going to write about issues that I ran across, so hopefully you’ll be off and running quicker. BTW, there are tons of UTube videos that show this case up close. You can ignore the noise emitted from some of these videos, it just from an over zealous microphone.

Cons: First, I was very worried about not having enough power supply cable length or a place to put them, so I purchased a modular PSU. It turns out, the only cable that has issues is the ATX_12V_2X4. Everything else had more than ample room. Make sure to mount the PSU with fan facing up so it can draw cool air from slots. There is plenty of space to cram PSU cables under the CDROM and behind the LCD, so if you’re on a budget, no need for a modular PSU> The LCD gets its power from a strange 3 pin tiny molex connect that is red, black, purple. It took me a while to realize that the other end of this power connector is in a separate bag, which contains a jumper cable to the large ATX cable. The LCD itself is readable, and very adjustable using most recent download of the LCD control software. It’s really not a concern, the people who are complaining want something for nothing. This LCD is essentially nothing for nothing, but hey, it works. I will say that when off viewing axis, you ca

Overall Review: see a lot of white light spray. But I keep mine in a cabinet, no worries really. If you face it straight on, you won’t see this. The supplied fans are quiet and keep everything cool. No need to purchase separate, quieter fans. There is plenty of space to fit motherboard, some complain about the case being too small. IMHO - its as large as you would want for a dedicated HTPC. When measuring your space constraints, make sure to add another ½” to the width, because the fan grills stick out a bit. I thought I had plenty of room, but didn’t realize the fan grills stuck out. This puppy is cool and quiet, anyone who says otherwise, must have put too powerful of a CPU or Graphics card in it and has software that is pounding on both. Mounting the hard-drive is easy, just screw in the bottom side first, then place the removable top back on and screw in the other side. Very easy – some reviews had me worried about this. I’m getting very nice HD streams from Netflix with this

Pros: This is the slickest, most fully-featured case I could find at this price point. I have always loved Antec cases, and this one is no exception. It looks nice in my entertainment center, blending well with everything, instead of sticking out like a sore thumb the way my last case did. There is plenty of room to work inside it, considering it is a mATX case. Cable routing is well thought out. It is quiet as a whisper and everything stays cool even with the fans set to Low. The included remote and screen are a nice touch. I like that they give you the option of using an internal or external USB for hooking up the screen.

Cons: The front panel screen took some time to setup, as the internal USB connector did not work for me. I was able to get it hooked up using the external USB cable. I did not care for the style and feel of the included remote, especially in WMC.

Overall Review: Anyone who wants to use the included IMon software for all your media needs will probably be well served by the included remote, but for WMC I'd try something else. The LCD was a neat feature, but it might draw more attention to the case than you might want. This is one of the best built cases, especially for the price, that I have ever had the pleasure of using. Just be sure to read the manual, even if you are an experienced builder.

Pros: Very nice layout and mechanicals. Coooling, shockmounts and compartmentalization is excellent!

Cons: Expensive! Soundgraph LCD is garbage. Most are complaining about Antec not using a filter lens over readout and it glows pink while watching videos. Do your research! Soundgraph acknowledges this problem and denies any responsibilties. Very poor support for LCD and remote. 2 for 2 of the remotes I have touched have defects. XBMC is not supported well at all. Soundgraph is starting to upgrade themselves to accomodate some media info but no release yet. When you get tired of only seeing Internet news garbage on it small screen you will disconnect it.

Overall Review: I haven't seen a product that fits the media player as well. Too vbad the Soundgraph LCD and remote are such a piece of dung.
