Paul2506 · 9 Oct 2010 at 21:25

Hey just wondering if someone can help me out, A friend of mine is thinking of building a system into this case:

Does anyone know what psu would fit into the case?
Looking to put in a 620w plus!

Any help would be much appreciated

Many thx in advance

It looks like this case takes a standard atx psu so you can put any in there. This review states that a modular psu is better suited so you don't have to find room for unused cables:

Has he/she bought that case? I'd be interested to know what he/she thinks of that case as I'm currently looking to build a HTPC too but i'm not in a rush to get the components but i've always liked the case.

I bought the antec fusion http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-060-AN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=160 about 2 years ago for the lounge and its just a quality piece of kit all the fans that come with it are silent and speed ajustable, loads of room inside and the udf screen is class giving you info such as news reports and email status.

There was cheaper media cases on the market when i was looking but im so glad i went for this one, as they say you get what you pay for

The case is a quality piece of kit, i use them all the time in the HTPC's that i build, and yes they take a standard psu.

I also have that case and thinks it's great. Fits in under the TV and looks good and minimal wires so the other half is happy... and it's quiet too!

Inside have a Corsair 520HX. I needed to dremel out a bit to fit in my 3870x2 (which has just been replaced with a 5850 card!) I use as main PC and hooked up to 40" tv for games and bd/hddvd movies :-)

Thanks for this, I always thought the lcd display looked a bit pants on my fusion case, this will hopefully sort it
