Internal Impressions

The top of the Fusion slides off by unscrewing just one thumbscrew. I noticed there is a hole on the back which could be used to lock the top of the case to stop people from opening the case up if needed.
This is the internal works of the Fusion, there are three compartments, I’m not going to bother naming them as it’s pretty obvious what goes where! The three compartments help for better cooling inside the Fusion. All of the edges of the Fusion are rolled, so no cutting your hands in this case.

Here’s the 5 ½ bay which you can install one 5 ½ drive in. The bay can be removed very easily without any tools. On top of the bay you should notice two little black rubber stops which are designed to dampen the vibrations between the bay and the top of the case.

Here are the dual 120mm fans, both these fans have individual 3-way fan controllers and can be connected using Molex.

In the Hard Drive compartment is space to install two Hard Disks. Below is an image showing the sound proofing for the hard disks. There is rubber grommets for the screws and also rubber holders for the drives- quite extreme but does the job.

This little black plastic slider hides a large hole where most of the cables run through, this slider can adjust the size of the hole to neaten things up.

What’s this? This is one of the rubber strip which are all over the edges of the Fusion, the idea of these rubber strips is again to reduce sound. It’s obvious Antec really are trying hard to reduce sound as much as possible.

Beneath the PSU rests these black rubber stops, these are the same as the ones on the 5 ½ bay and are designed to reduce vibrations from the PSU.
