Review: Antec Fusion Remote HTPC Case
Conclusions
Is the Antec Fusion Remote the perfect media PC case? No. But it’s a lot closer than most other cases out there.
The finish will allow it to sit happily amongst the rest of your AV kit, with most visitors not realising it’s a PC until you turn it on and Windows appears on your TV.
The design also allows it to remain quiet, depending on your choice of components obviously, while also helping keep your components cool.
The front display is useful in letting you know what’s going on, which can be useful if you’re just playing back music and want to turn off your TV. We just wish it wasn’t as bright or could at least be inversed for low light environments.
Finally, just don’t bother with the iMedian software. Seriously, there are much better free packages out there which look better and are a lot more stable than iMedian. We’re not even sure why it was included, it’s that bad.
That being said, it’s a small blemish on an otherwise near-perfect PC case; no ones going to force you to use it, and it works independantly from the very useful iMon software which controls the LCD.
Would any of us buy the Antec Fusion Remote? We’d definitely consider it, there are a few other options out there in this area of the market, but Antecs offering does as good a job as any other for a reasonable price.
