Finished Look

Once everything was installed, the case was closed. The fairly large Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro used on the AMD X2 6000+ fits well, and you should not have any problems with even larger coolers. The front drives and devices fit well into the front of the case, while the remaining covers are held in place quite well and are not crooked or bent. The back of the case looks as expected, with everything quite accessible.


The last step of assembly was sticking the Antec bubble dome sticker onto the front of the case. Very few cases still feature such a square for stickers these days and the supplied one looks quite good on this case.


Once the system is powered up, two aspects become apparent. The first are the two blue LEDs for power and hard drive access. Both are quite strong, but you will not know which one is meant for what function. For your information: the one lit in the picture is the power LED.

The second aspect is the silence. Antec's 500W EarthWatts power supply is truly quiet, as is the single Tricool fan. Unlike the Antec Fusion, this case can be called quiet. The Fusion utilized two such fans which did produce a lot of more noise coupled with the included 430W power supply.
