Finished Look

Once everything was installed and connected, it becomes apparent how effective the divided compartments become. Even though the mainboard fits perfectly with no room to spare, the compartment itself is empty while the hard drive and power supply compartment hold all the excessive cables. When looked at from an angle, the benefits of a clean interior become apparent. Now imagine the case with the cover on and note the obstruction free air flow of the mainboard compartment. The only downside lies in the hard drive part, as there is no active air flow within that compartment.


Once turned on, the white ring of light, which denotes that the computer is on, can be seen. The choice of color further adds to the great looks of the case. The LCD turns on as soon as the Antec software is installed. There is not much to be said about the software, as it installs without further user intervention. If you would like to read up on all the functionality of the display, be sure to read or Soundgraph iMON VFD review here. The drive bay button works perfectly fine on a DVD drive with an indented power button, which is harder to reach than the usual kind. This means you should not have any problems with the variant that sticks out a bit as well.


The case looks great once turned on. The only downside of the case are the two fans, which are by no means quiet. When turned up all the way a stack of loose papers can be blown away by the air flow created. While this does keep the mainboard compartment cool, the noise created at such speeds makes the high as well as medium setting unbearable over time. They are only bearable on the lowest setting at which they still push a considerable amount of air, which should suffice for any hardware you would place inside the Antec Fusion.
