http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=6462The HTPC market has seen a big shift recently, with more of the mainstream manufacturers producing higher specification HTPC chassis’s with a much keener price point. Antec previously released NSK2400 and with the introduction of the Antec Fusion it looks, on paper at least that Antec are looking to move up in the world, but the question is, have they?

"The VFD itself is powered through a floppy drvie" - drvie sounds like something from linux to me
is the VFD compatible with windows MCE?
Looks very nice and would blend in with most people HT setups.
Shame its uATX though.

It is compatible, as it is based on the iMon VFD design......however, BEWARE, as it includes no IR. That means no remotes will work, and there is no space to mount one internally.....
Hmmm, oversight much!! Thanks Antec....
Weren't the boards with the 6150 graphics uATX though? They were pretty much perfect for a HTPC
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.
Just wondering if the reviewer (or anyone else!) has tried using a PATA HDD in there? Is there enough room for the ribbon cables?
I'm thinking of getting the Fusion and slapping an old i865G board in there with the remains of my old system.
All (constructive) comments welcome
there's supposedly a new version coming with the IR receiver & a different display.
is there now
I will have some very tasty news about Antec very shortly after meeting with thier Snr. VP today
As for the PATA issue there should be no problem as there is plenty of space in the end of the chamber for the HDD's
