Anyone using this case here?

It looks really nice, and OcUK have priced it very well, im very tempted...

Pics would be great also... as i would consider a coolermaster musketeer depending on whether the black will go well with the case...

Cheers!
 
Awesome case loads of space and good cooling with the 2 x 120 fans.

PSU position is also good as it also aids airflow.

When I installed my opti 170 I also purchased the additional side panel with the 120 fan installed. This lowered my temps but does emit more noise.

Build quality is good and access also.

I would highly recommend it.

If you look in the cases gallery there are LOADS of pics of this case.

Great case, best one out bar the plastic front depending what camp you sit in.

The only drawback that gets mentioned everytime is the plastic front, put it this way, nobody has found anything worse to complain about than there being plastic on it :)

Great case, aluminium Lian Li styled front, then I would buy it in a hearbeat.
 
just took a look, the first case is one to... cheers dude...

question though, if there was big enough demand for Akasa to make an aluminium front section replacement... do you think they would consider?
 
No, there is demand but the case sells with the plastic front and it enables them to have a higher profit margin / make more sales due to more competative pricing.

The eclipse is here to stay, good and a bad thing really!
 
1 mo left to eclipimp ;)

Its a nice case the layout on the inside is fantastic I paired mine with a Scythe Ninja heatsink and its positioned perfectly so it expels the hot nasty air out straight out to the 120mm fan slot on the other side.

Is the plastic on the front of good quality, or is it the same stuff they use in "gamer" cases?

Its excellent quality plastic, its thick and very sturdy and textured, not like the thin shiny stuff on gamer cases but if your not a fan of plastic fronts you wont like it. I personally think it looks good but a lot of people hate it so your probably better off seeing one in the flesh if possible.

The plastic on the front is a little better than you got on the old chiefy dragons.

Very high quality, none of the pop bottle pop in and out fall off fun you get on gaming cases.

If you can look past the use of plastic (I can not) then it is a superb case.
 
Theres no question about it, its mine in less than a week... :D

Ill send as many pics as i can once i have it, because ive not seen a pic where it "shines" but from what you guys are saying ill take the risk, coupled with a Seasonic PSU it should be top banana :D
 
I dont mean to hijack this thread.
But since it covers the AKASA Eclipse62, i felt there was no need to start another thread.

Question.
I also want to get one of these cases, but presently OC are out of stock.
When is Overclockers for getting them back in, also the window?
and for how much?
Regards VIPER.
 
Thanks Mark, for the quick reply.
Just off the phone to them selves, and it seems they wont be getting them back in stock to the end of April. :mad:
The sales guy said it was to do with a supplier problem. :eek:

So i guess i will have to change case or get it else were! :(
A first for OC in my experiance, but these things happen. :rolleyes:
