Antec launches Veris media components

Antec, Inc., a global provider of high-performance computer components for the PC upgrade and Do-It-Yourself markets, has launched the Veris series which includes the A/V cooler, a cooling solution for home entertainment systems. The A/V cooler utilizes two fans to stop heat from rising by rapidly blowing hot air away from media components, preventing systems from overheating or damaging neighboring components of the entertainment system.

The Veris series also features the Fusion Black 430, an updated version of Antec's original Fusion home theater PC. It boasts an IR receiver compatible with Microsoft Windows MCE and Vista to enable the use of a remote control. To isolate fan noise and vibration, the Fusion Black's structure has a triple-chamber design separating the 430-Watt power supply, hard drives and motherboard. In addition, hard drive brackets are fitted with silicone grommets to absorb vibrations for Quiet Computing.

“As more and more people pursue the digital lifestyle, Antec allows users to move their PCs to the living room to create and customize attractive home multimedia systems,” said Scott Richards, Senior VP of Antec. “The Veris line of media components appeals not only to those who want to integrate computers into their living room, but also to the wider group who are interested in maintaining and upgrading their existing entertainment systems.”
