Well, if you really mean "the more HDs the better"... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811219021 The Norco RPC-4020 offers 20 hot swappable SATA drive bays in a 4U format. For a more realistic option for a regular PC, the Lian-Li 7010/7110 offer 10 3.5" HD bays, including 7 hot ...

I for one am glad that they built a gaming system in this case. Given that there are lots of cases that can do a minimalist HTPC system, even within the Antec line, this case seems to be meant to appeal to someone after a more taxing system. The fact that it can accommodate a Crossfire/SLI configura...

Antec just reply: "You cannot install a cooler taller than 160mm".
So I assume the HR-01 plus fits with the case (the height is 15.95cm)
.5mm isn't exactly a lot of room for error. I'd go with a different cooler.

Wow. I'm surprised and impressed that the case fit an Ultra 120 cooler with no problems. That opens up a lot of options for CPU cooling not generally considered in an HTPC case.

So between Ultima-90 & Ninja Mini, which one should I choice? I think it depends on your plans. You can't really go wrong with either one, but I'd probably go with the Ultima 90 for an overclocked configuration, and stick with the Ninja mini for a fanless system. I think the Minja's open structure ...

I addressed the measurement error in an earlier post. The 17.8" is transposed from their metric measurement of 17.8 cm. Unfortunately, this simple error has been compounded by being published not just on their website, but in their recent press release. In any case, it looks to be ready to handle bo...

A couple of US vendors now have a purchase page for this case, although they don't have stock yet. Pricing is just shy of $200 as I predicted. And lubej, Antec is a US company. I'm sure they've done their market research to determine which markets receive stock first. The HTPC market seems much hott...

Do you maybe know when fusion remote max will be available in Europe and what the price will be ? We can onlly speculate at this point, but initial pricing in Australia and the UK appears to be around the $225 - 250 mark (US dollars). I'm guessing a US MSRP of $199. Availability is anyone's guess, ...

I took a little peek at Antec's site yesterday, and they do have some preliminary info for the Fusion Max, which they're calling the "Fusion Remote Max": Dimensions: - 17.8" (H) x 17.6" (W) x 16.5" (D) - 45.3 cm (H) x 17.8 cm (W) x 44.6 cm (D) Net Weight: 19.6 lbs / 8.9 kg Gross Weight: 24 lbs / 10....

I have a Antec SmartPower 2.0 500 in my P180, it's aweful quiet. The rear fan rarely kicks in. Straight through air fan design and modular cables. Modular cables are a must for me now that I have been exposed to them. Looking at the design of the P180, I think passive and straight-through design PS...

no, i was actually stupid enough to buy the HE for p180, fully knowing it might not work with the a8n. I'm in the same boat. Having read this thread, I thought I'd probably be okay with a Rev 1.02 board. :cry: Luckily I'm within my vendor's return policy, but now the question is, what to replace it...

Hello all. I hate to make this sort of thing my first post, but oh well. I have just finished building a new system using a Neo HE 500 and Asus A8N-SLI Premium. I'm very happy with the system overall, except for the fact that it randomly shuts down. In reading this thread, it seems I'm not alone. I ...
