Trying to decide on a case and saw that both of these are popular options...
Is the difference that the Fusion Remote comes without a PS and with a Remote whereas the Fusion 430 comes with a PS (perhaps a little noisy) and no remote?
Also, can the LCD on this case be used for anything (in Ubuntu)?
Hi,
I've tested the Micro Fusion 350 and Fusion Remote 430:
Remote Fusion 430:
Pros:
Nice design (I got the black)
Quiet
Volume Knob and LCD work with Ubunutu 8.10 (need lirc 8.04)
You can install standard form factor extension card (PCI-E GPU)
Cons:
LCD display has a poor quality display. The blue backlight is pain (it stays on even if the box is shutdonw, you have to unplug the power).
Does not come with a remote you need to use an MCE compatible remote (does not work with any remote)
Fit only Micro ATX boards
Micro FUsion 350
Pros:
Very nice and small (silver)
Quiet
Cons:
Again the LCD has a poor quality display and backlight is still an issue
The remote that comes with it is too small for my taste and I'm not sure you can use a Universal remote
Fit only Micro ATX boards
You can install low form factor extension cards
Thanks slash! I think I'm going to go for the 430.
