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

Is this case still ideal for a above average spec, are there better cases to be had now such as the ft01?

Well my 4ghz 920 is high end and I have the 62

This case has a cult following for a reason.

Seen countless builds and the waterloop that has never been drained since it saw one

Here is my eclipse, finally made a blowhole at the top.

Going to replace that front apache with a viper as I think its limiting its counterpart (which is a viper).

Also trying to figure out a way to suspend or hold that fan over the northbridge without it sitting on the graphics card.

Nice job Eclipse did have a minor flaw with no top exhaust fan.. still an awesome case.

That's why I got the Omega. I'm trying to get Akasa UK to tell me how much it would cost me for the door/front unit of an Eclipse so I can "convert" the Omega to an Eclipse/Omega hybrid: Omega case (so top exhaust fan) and Eclipse door, which is much better than the Omega door.

Jerry from Akasa still hasn't got back to me so I might be taking an OcUK member of this thread up on his offer, if its still open.

Ya, I tried to get the top panel from an omega but Jerry said there were none in stock.

Omega front must be quite bad, Im not so fond of the eclipse one. If it was of some sort of metal would have looked loads better.

Have you got fans in the BOTTOM of the case sucking cool air in?

 

[Andiiboy]

sweet

nice set up, minimalist, water cooling too i see, sweet, is that some home modification with the extra three fans? whats their function? induction or expulsion?

 

[Troop]

Have you got fans in the BOTTOM of the case sucking cool air in?

Yes the three bottom fans are sucking air up through the triple rad, nice cool air off the tiled floor.

It works well
