Yep, it's supposed to be able to fit a full ATX mobo and include an Antec TruePower 380W PSU.

AntecCSR, thanks for keeping us updated on this.

Damn, I'm waiting for this thing so I can build my MediaPC.

I'm just plain ol' short on desk space and I don't wanna get a shuttle system. That would be nice to replace my midtower, and I could put stuff on top of it

According to the news at Avsforum the Fusion has been cancelled! What a drag - I was waiting on this to build my HTPC. How could they announce this, produce all the promo materials, and show off the prototypes and now cancel it with no replacement product in sight?

Sigh...

Frobnitz that is a drag!!!!!!!!

Looking for a non-antec replacement.

Any chance chieftec will cary the antec-rejected fusion? I don't care about the depth as I"m putting it in my cofee table.

Check that out not quite as good as the fusion but pretty neat.

Trikster, that looks like a neat case! Which system is that picture from?

Thanks,
Frob

PS There has been some traffic on that thread at avsforum that may mean Fusion hasn't been cancelled, but then again, no date has been given either... :-(

Problem is it's mATX and only low profile cards

 

[AntecCSR]

Fusion is not cancelled. If you get to the 2nd page of that thread you'll notice AntecRep posts.

any update on the fusion?

tangent,

This fall, if we are lucky. Antec has another desktop case coming this fall, and it may or may not share design elements of the Fusion. It won't have the covered 5 1/4 drive bays, however.

If you're looking for an alternative HTPC desktop case that will support an ATX motherboard, the the Coolermaster ATC-611 (in black) will hit the USA in about two weeks. The ATC-611 is like the ATC-610, except it supports ATX motherboards.

Digital Connection was able to order the case from Coolermaster without the standard 200w power supply, and they will be selling it with a 300w power supply, IIRC. Digital Connection just received word from Cooler Master about a week ago that they'd be receiving ATC-611 stock in the first or second week of June.

OMG That looks like a awesome case! Now we need a even smaller Micro-ATX Lanboy! Please! Please!

 

[mcveigh]

Ken: where did you see that ship date for the 611?

 

[KenAF]

mcveigh,

DigitalConnection. They have an order with Coolermaster; the availability date was a quote from Coolermaster.

 

[whistleclient]

does anyone know if the ATC-611 has full or half height PCI cards?

 

[mcveigh]

should be full height from what i've heard

 

[deerslayer]

Wow, that's a nice lookin case. No wonder you guys are antsy for it to come out!
