In the past we have had the opportunity to review many of Antec’s products, including their computer enclosures and power supplies. Generally we have been extremely happy with the performance of these products, and today we will be reviewing one of their latest products from the “Veris” family. The Veris products are mainly products with the home digital market in mind. The Fusion Black 430 is just such a product aimed at the growing HTPC community.

Looks like a great case, but some kind of information about sound levels from the coolers, would have been nice.

It is the regular Antec tri-cool fans that are used in this case, I do not have a dB meter to give you an exact figure. But I run them at low and they are very hard to hear when being 50cm from the case, and in the couch approx. 3 meters away they are dead silent. In the medium configuration they can be heard but are in no way loud, at max tehy are quite noisy though....
When using a system comparable to the one in the review there is absolutly no reason to run them in any other configuration then low imo.
