    The question is stated in the topic. I have seen both names, appearing on different sites (seems like the 430-name is the oldest one), but in pictures they seem the same. Are there any differences (possibly a new version, upgraded display, or only a new name)?

    Fusion Remote includes a remote control

    Not the same thing. The Fusion (aluminum faceplate) and Fusion Black (anodized aluminum faceplate) refer to the color of the front bezel.

    A number, such as 430, indicates that a power supply is included with the case and its continuous wattage rating.

    When you see a Fusion Remote, that is our current model and comes with the remote control and media handling software included. Sorry for any confusion.

    Thanks, nice to see a Rep for Antec here :)

    What are the differences regarding IR receiver and display? I want to buy one of the Fusion-cases, but it is important that the compability for IR and display is good - and that I don't have to use a bloated driver or maybe some special HTPC-software shipped with the case to use it. Are any of these cases better supported by, say, MediaPortal?

    @ antecrep: I bought the nex antec fusion black remote, but with the imon software (7,2) i cannot set the "keyboard" or "mouse" mode.
    In addition the "plugin" for the lcd is not configurable (not 7,2 or the 6,x wich came with the case), and as such not working in mediaportal.
    Any idea's how to solve these?

    promy,
    Please either send a PM or start a new thread. It's bad manners to take over some one elses to ask an off-topic question.

    AntecRep, good to see some reps here, but if you choose to answer please either do in a PM to Promy or in whatever new thread he starts on the topic.

    I'll have to start deleting otherwise, and I'm not a big fan of that.

    Cheers,
    Marcus.

    I read that the Silver edition is better than the Black edition, regarding display (LCD vs VFD). This made me buy the Silver edition. Too bad this information is somewhat 'hidden', people are led to think they are the same except the color..
