Akasa Eclipse 62's Club... Desktop & Machines.

em which one?

i got an stealthxstream and it has two power connectors for the mobo, 1 eatx 20pin and 1 atx 12v 4pin my mobo also has both sockets, do i hook them both up or one or the other?
 
A sad day have swapped my rig to a silverstone fortress ft01 gonna take the eclipse to the barn and blow the mother away.
Nah will keep it forever I think and maybe mod it.
 
Moved this from the new cases gallery.
Been a couple of years since I posted a pic of my Eclipse on here, not much has changed on it since then, but I don't game much these days. Given it a bit of tidy inside too with a cable tidy kit from the 99p shop & a couple of round sata cables. I bungee modded the hard drive & took out the floppy & HD cages for max airflow. I know its not up to spec compared with some on here but it suits my needs, it plays crysis at 1280X720 fine on my telly! :D
Spec:

E8400 C0 @3.6
Gigabyte GA P35 DS4
2gig Corsair C6400 DDR2
Gigabyte HD4850 with artic cooling heatsink & Sharkoon 120mm fan
Megahalem cooler with 2 nexus basic in push pull
Pioneer optical drive.
Western Digital Caviar blue 6400AAKS
Corsair HX650

I've decided that "upgrading" to an Omega case from an Eclipse 62 case for my current PC was a bit of a "mistake". My old Eclipse 62 is a bit knackered so I can't swap the PC innards round. So I emailed Akasa UK asking if it was possible to get the door front for an Eclipse 62 and replace the door front of my Omega so that I essentially have an Eclipse 62 case again. :D

I think I'll have to buy the door front through Akasa themselves as the only way to get the door front of an Eclipse 62 otherwise is to spend £100+ on the whole Eclipse 62 case. :p

When I copy my CDs EAC automatically opens the CD tray when the copying has finished and this means I need to have the case door open. Having the case door open means I can't open the drawer to my desk otherwise the desk drawer and case door collide. I know I can have EAC not open the CD tray when its finished with the disc but it saves me having to open the CD tray myself. I also don't see why the Omega case has to have a door on the front when the Eclipse 62 didn't and was a superb case for it!

Having an Eclipse 62 case front would mean I'd have better access to the USB ports and the whole case would just look better, I think. :)
 
Ive had my 62 for years now, and its been great. But looking at other cases out there that have the power supply at the bottom, I think they might be better for airflow. :(

Anyone know if Jerry still works at Akasa? I emailed him but so far no reply. Looking for an omega top panel or a 62 top panel that I can mod (dont want to mod the top panel I already have as it may go wrong and not look good). Omega top panel would be best, then I wouldnt have to mod anything!
 
Still 62 here

I just have never felt the need or urge to change the case.
