[hpsdr] Mercury Here also

I purchased my two cases at Fry's in Indianapolis for $178 each as I  
recall. ANTEC has not changed the case design, but has added the  
remote control item. They come in Sliver and Black. Don't get the mini  
version, not enough room. The fusion will work, but you have to watch  
the size of the standoffs and don't mount the Atlas too close to the  
rear PCI card openings, mount it an inch or so away from the openings  
so the cables can snake up to the the connectors without interference,  
also don't mount to far forward or you will interfere with the cables  
coming through the hole from the power supply.
