When does the Antec Fusion ship?
I thought it was March 1.

The VFD and control knob-less version is available, but not the Fusion. i'm guessing ther're probably having issues w/the VFD+media controls
While there's no release dates here, there's at least official product pages (though hidden):

Other than the face plate, the case is identical to the NSK2400. You have 120mm between the CPU and the lid.Jeff Haas wrote:I really want this case to put an MSI 6150 in. I just need to know what CPU cooler will fit, and what the right choice for CPU is.
I have the MSI 6150 (K8NGM2-FID) in the NSK case with an XP-120. It works fine but you lose the first DIMM slot. Another poster reported that the SI-120 didn't eat up a DIMM slot but I wonder about air flow. The SI-120 with 25mm thick fan would be just over 110mm high.
Based on SPCR's review of the NSK2400, it looks like you could use just about any AMD CPU you wanted.

Antec's decision to re-use the "Fusion" name for this new case is a bit troubling to me.
Does anyone remember the "original" Antec Fusion from back in 2002/2003? IIRC, it was an HTPC-ish desktop style case. It was announced, generated a lot of interest in the various online forums, and it's release date was pushed back again and again until everyone lost interest, and it was ultimately never released at all. It was delayed so many times that it got to be sort of a joke.
Hopefully that won't happen again with this latest iteration of the "Fusion" name.

A few of the US stores now have it showing up as "out of stock" on their listings, which probably means that they've gotten confirmed shipments from Antec. So it might be getting close.
$170-$190 seems like the US price point. Several are listing a $189.99 MSRP. That doesn't seem too bad, if you take the $75-$100 for the NSK2400, add in the $75 or so that a typical VFD+remote costs, plus the upgraded PSU ($10?), and the aluminum front and stealth drive covers.

NSK2400 is here but Fusion nowhere to be seen
Well, the NSK2400 I ordered has shipped but the Fusion is still nowhere to be seen... I contacted Antec in Rotterdam again and it is supposed to launch end of june (thats this week) and be available first or second week of july (!)
