anyone got a 8800GTX in this case?

There was a thread a while ago, i think they said you still have plenty of room inside with an 8800

is that by removing the hdd bay area? or straight fit without any changes?

Fits fine mate

There is about 4 inches between the drive cage (5 bay one) and the card.

Yeh will fit fine. Eclipse's are like the tardis, a lot bigger than they look

Got an Akasa Eclipse 62, LLLLLLLLLLLLLoads of space for a 8000 GTS / GTX and easily fit 5-6 HD's no problem, the only limitation is your imagination, buy one now, the only regret I had in buying this case was I should have done it sooner

They are a bit mahoosive aren't they

Love my Akasa

Make sure you do something to quieten the hard drives though, mine were a fair whack noisier in this case.

Thinking of ordering one of these cases, heard nothing but good posts about it, but your comment about the HD noise bothers me... Is this just a problem with this case, what causes it, and what can be done to make the HD quieter...

Thx for any help...

Not really a problem with this case, most aluminium cases are not too hot on hard drive noise.

The ultimate solution is to stick your system drive (or all depending on amount of funds) into Silentmaxx enclosures from OcUK.

I swear by these things, stops hard drive vibration and the potential noise because of this while eliminating most of the seek noise on even a raptor.

Little pricey, but they do last a lifetime and sell for around £30 second hand.
