Akasa Eclipse 62

[Craig321]

I just read a review on this case, it says it has a plastic front?

Is that true?

Thanks,
Craig.

lol why would a review say it was plastic if it wasnt, load of pics here

Because Akasa might have updated the case since the review was done.

Was just wondering

Thanks,
Craig.

I don't know of any cases at all that are 100% aluminium alloy in every aspect of their construction, so to start knocking lumps off the Eclipse because it has a plastic front is basically lay youself open to ridicule.

Coolermaster Wavemaster. I haven't found any plastic in it

 

[Craig321]

But who the hell would want a Wavemaster

What's wrong with them? Apart from the 80mm fans?

 

[Craig321]

What are they made of?

I'm not talking about the fans being plastic, I'm talking about the case.

Yes it has, but its a fairly decent quality plastic that can take quite a bit of abuse.

Ok, cool. Thanks

 

[Craig321]

Yes, but you accept one, why not the other? The fact is - plastic isn't carp, it's just different.

I was just asking because I was then going to ask if it was flimsy plastic or not (PinkFloyd answered both my questions in one ).

I don't mind plastic on a case, I was just wondering

EDIT

Got another question for someone!:

How do the dual HDD lights work? There's only one HDD light plug on a motherboard?

 

[Craig321]

It's extremely nice plastic. The two HDD lights only work if you have a secondary header eg. on a SATA or PATA add-in PCI card.

Ah right. I think if I got this case i'd just have to get a add-in PCI card just so I can make the other HDD light work

 

[Craig321]

ok.... lol

I haven't got any of the lights on the front connected up

2 hdd lights flashing away would be cool

I look at my HDD light all the time anyway

 

[Craig321]

That would probably explain your poor scores in BF2142.

Probably
