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.<div><br></div><div>Ron W9KFB<br><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Dec 21, 2008, at 7:24 PM, Philip M.

I also have a friend in California that purchased a black version of the case for the HPSDR also. I sent an email to ANTEC asking them for information on how to control the VFD, but I don't think they saw any market potential to help me out, so they just said no help. I am now thinking of replacing the ANTEC knob with a powermate knob, they are the same size. Don't know how to control the VFD yet. Also not sure if the included switching power supply is going to be a noise problem or not. Mercury should tell me. I just ordered 100 12mm EMI clamp ons to use on the internal and external shack wires to tame the noise. Got them on ebay for 88 cents each. They are on the way from Hong Kong now.</div><div><br></div><div>Ron, W9KFB<br><div><font face="Arial"></font> </div></div></blockquote></div></span></blockquote></div><br></div></div></body></html>
