 Mixed Bag of a HTPC CaseJan 01, 2011
By TBC
Pros:
Two 120mm fans that when replaced with 800 RPM Scythe Slipstreams creates a silent and high airflow case.
Looks like AV equipment
Well built and laid out
Cons:
Display, IR, and Volume knob are useless - don't buy the case based on these features.
The remote software is crummy/buggy and the IR won't work with native WMC IR commands and my Harmony remote.
I'm not sure I'd spend the money on it again... hard to say. I think I'd look a little closer at the Silverstone cases and buy a windows IR. Antec does a really good job building and laying their cases out, so maybe, but I expected more out of the IR and display.
The 120mm fans really are the way to go in a HTPC to keep noise down. That plus a fanless PSU and it is as quiet as a Tivo.

Great HTPC case, LED diaplay/Remote so/soJan 07, 2010
By V. Bitowf
The case is great. It has a lot of nice details such as rubber pads to absorb vibration and a mounting system for hard drives that isolates them on soft bushings to minimize drive noise. Ventalation
The power supplu is mounted upside down in a separate compartment from the motherboard. There is an extension for the 24 pin power cable, but the P4 cable might be a problem. I would buy a p4 cable extension or Molex to p4 cable with this case, unless you are sure that your cables will reach.
The VFD loks kind of cheap and the remote looks and feels cheap. The Soundgraph iMon software that drives it is limited. I would consider buying the non-VFD version and a different VFD.

Great Home Theatre enclosureMay 18, 2009
By Dutch
Found this to be a decent & solidly designed case that was easy to setup in most areas. the enclosure has great cooling with a nice built-in display and remote control functionality. A little disappointed in the limited disk drive capacity (2 Max) The instruction provided were rather slim, instalation of the CD/DVD drive was not clear at all. The entite plastic face has to be removed from your CD/DVD drive. Overall very satified for the price paid. The software provided with the unit to interface its remote etc. is not very intuitive to use. Overall Better instructions would go a long way to improve my ratings of the hardware and supplied software!

 Great HTPC CaseSep 23, 2009
By FaceofBoe

This is a great high quality case the size of a stereo receiver. 2x 120mm included fans keep the case cool enough that I didn't need fans on the graphics card or the CPU (Core2Duo), but you should use a very good heat sink. The power supply is in a separate chamber, which keeps the heat isolated from the mainboard. PCI(e) slots are normal height, so a low profile video card is not needed. Fans vent to the side, so make sure you have space for the air to flow out.
LCD display shows some basic information, but is mostly not used by me for anything useful. The included iMon software isn't as good as the Windows Media Center software, so I don't use it except to control the system with the included remote. Although the remote can control the mouse and input text, I recommend a good wireless keyboard with built-in trackball mouse for this system as the remote is only good for basic tasks and not for typing. I'm also getting a fingerprint reader for quick logons vs. having to type in a password.
Lots of sound dampening pads are used, such as under the power supply, for the hard drives, the case feet and a strip along the top where the lid fits on the case.
Instructions were vague and could be confusing on a few minor points. The front of the case (wires to display, etc) were pre-installed, which is a plus since the instructions were confusing if you have to do it yourself.
Overall, I love this case and it looks good in my living room. Just wish Amazon would support APO addresses more as I couldn't get them to ship this directly.

Perfect for HTPC'sNov 26, 2011
By Bill Macy
This is a great case for my main HTPC. Nicely laid out. Great ventilation. I don't understand what other reviewers were complaining about, as I like the LED screen font and the way it functions. The case looks great in my Salamander Designs ventilated AV stand. Looks just like an AV receiver. The only thing I did not like was the Antec 3-speed 80mm fans that came with the case. Instead of having a 3-pin sysfan connector, they have a 4 pin molex that you connect to the PSU. The fans are then controlled by a small inline switch on the fan wires (low, med, high). For those of you who do not have sysfan connections on the mobo, I guess this is a good solution. However, my Mobo has sysfan connectors, and I would much rather have the mobo control the fan speed. I remedied this by coughing up another $15 for different fans with a 3-pin connector. Other than that, couldnt be happier. The HTPC runs like a champ, and it looks/fits great with my other AV equipment. For those who are building an HTPC, here are my specs if it helps:
Mobo - MSI H67MA-E45
CPU: Intel i5-2400
PSU - OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W Modular High-Performance PSU
RAM - Corsair Memory 8 Dual Channel Kit DDR3 1600
HD - Western Digital Caviar Black 2 TB SATA III 7200 RP
Case - Antec Fusion Remote Black Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
Tuner - Ceton InfiniTV 4 Digital Cable Quad-tuner Card PCIe
