Antec P182 vs. Akasa Eclipse 62

[LazarusDarkfire]

Exactly what it says on the tin, I've narrowed down my case choices to these two from a thermals/airflow, noise and future upgrades standpoint.

Now I'm having difficulty deciding between the two.

Spec wise, its going to get the following transferred into it from an Antec Solo.

Q6600 oc'd to 3ghz,
EVGA 780i mobo,
Noctua NH-U12P cpu cooler
a pair of 8800GTS512's in SLI.
Couple of hard drives
Corsair HX620

So I'm looking for opinions either way please. Please try to keep it between these two cases, I'm having enough difficulty deciding as it is

Thanks in advance

I'd go with the Eclipse, since with big cards in SLI, along with many harddrives the P182 will be cramped.

EASY...Have a look at my Antec 182 & Akasa Eclipse Thread for comparisons.. Both cases will fit your components easily, just down to which case you prefer in looks...

Well the harddrives on the p182 can go right at the bottom of the case away from everything.

And then the graphics cards will be free -you can also bung a fan at the front middle to cool the top card.

My HDD's are in the optical bays in my P182 Which is nice, cause you can use the easy-removal drive rails to pull it out in seconds.
