IR receiver
Setting up the IR requires many files. See Antec Fusion lirc for details.
Volume control
There was a thread about this in the mythtv-users mailing list.
Also see the corresponding wiki page Volume_Knob_on_Antec_Fusion
Issues and Concerns
Heat in the expansion slot area is a concern if you have fully populated the slots. The left most slot is against an internal bulkhead, and does not receive any air flow. Best is only plan on using only 3 of the 4 expansion slots, or be prepared to modify the case to increase airflow in this area. See the Silent PC Review for suggestions on how to keep the case cool.
Design
Mike Chin, the editor of Silent PC Review, was the functional design consultant for this case and the Antec NSK2480. Silent PC Review has a detailed review of NSK2480 and a followup for the Fusion.
