Think ill be a lifelong member, still have one working rig in an eclipse, and an empty eclipse sitting in my room, haven got the heart to get rid of it lol.

Same here setter - I have an original version (with circular holes in m/b tray) and AMD window which is under my desk (and empty)...I'll find a use for it one day, just can't part with it

along with a black Globalwin 802

My main annoyance with it was the vibration from hard drives - it had no sound dampening...I tried using those little rubber washers (from quiet case fan mounts) on normal screws and that helped

finally got it!
not something that you haven't seen before here.
it's a nice addition to the case though...

Looks good juno12.

thanks mate!!!

Just done a rebuild of my PC and thought I would upload some images

I still love this case but the cable management is not the best if you like to keep things nice and tidy.

Old system in Feb 2007.

i think i like the old one better.

Finally had to install the lower HDD cage in mine after running out of room in the 5.25 bays (had 4 drives bungeed up there) due to a new addition. Had to play with the bungee cord and a few foam blocks to keep them quiet still.

F3 1TB, F4 2TB, F3 1TB.

Maybe I should have used a slimmer fan?

Up top was looking empty again so stuck the old DVD drive back in (Pioneer DVR 217F, Spinpoint 200, F1 320).

Temps after 24hrs,

^^ is that an old or new version of the case ? just wondered why the metal work- inside is chrome/silver rather than black

setter · 24 Dec 2010 at 15:04

Id hazard a guess that its the globalwin solar eclipse that ocuk sold a while back. I got one for £26.00 iirc, identical build to the akasa, except it has a beige front panel and bare aluminium internals and side/top panels. Great choice for a modding project, came as standard with the sought after 3 hole mobo tray.

slowrunner · 24 Dec 2010 at 17:27

As setter said, it's the globalwin version, ycf61 or something, a few places had deals on them a year or so ago.

*Edit* managed to find it, http://www.globalwinusa.com/products/case/ycc61f1.html

Wow, i didnt think it would look that ugly in beige.
anyway, i bough the a62 on ebay for £5 before Christmas, all my parts for my currently in the post.
i cant wait till the case and everything arrives, due to bad weather i have had nothing in the post for the last 2 week's
anyway, ill post some pics and a spec of my £400 8 core setup once its all built up, Happy new year everyone

Hedge · 30 Dec 2010 at 17:07

Its such a beast. takes up loadsa space in my room

ZZZAC · 30 Dec 2010 at 19:09

Steeps · 5 Jan 2011 at 07:42

No idea how old the case is but my current system is 2 years old this month (apart from the SSD that was added 2 months ago)

Some pics after the SSD installation:

ZZZAC · 5 Jan 2011 at 21:16

nice. xD
gues waht?
my case finaly arrived.
for £5 i will never complain, its massive.
i will be modding the mobo tray so it fits perfectly
and i will be redoing the gapping hole at the top, to add another 120mm fan that doesnt get in the way of my psu.
i will post pics and spec when finished

juno12 · 26 Jan 2011 at 19:32

hey ZZZAC how is your modding going?
i have some changes made after my psu stopped working
and a zalman cpu cooler arrived today.
so i'll show some updated pics soon!

Nice rig.

juno12 · 23 Feb 2011 at 17:21

thanks my friend!
i 've got an akasa 600W 80+ psu now after my tagan 580W died.
do you think it's enough for my setup?
cause when i play games the fan of the psu spins faster and gets loud.
