should be fine i did mod the md tray, but before i had a chance to take pictures i killed my mobo and so my case is now sat in the corner of my room waiting for a lian li hotswap from drive caddy some vented pci covers.
oh and the rest of my parts such as new mobo cpu ram gpu, so my modding isnt going well, but you have a damm nice rig atleast

how do you think mounting the psu with the fan facing the top and cutting a hole and replacing that with mesh would go?, just to get some cooler air going through the psu

Hello my dear Akasa lovers

I'm looking for a spare motherboard tray with back panel from Akasa Eclipse 62 model. I need that for my new modding project, converting Dell XPS 700 case.
Any help where I can get them? Maybe someone has it in the attic gathering dust. I'll buy it for a reasonable price (posted to Dublin), and promise to post full worklog on this forum.

juno12 · 14 Mar 2011 at 20:43

why changing that beautiful case?

Because it's addictive

Have to convert Dell's BTX guts to ATX, cut window in side panel and do few smaller tricks.

ZZZAC · 23 Mar 2011 at 17:54

i wanna change a xps gen 3 or 4 to a atx case, ive always liked the look of those cases

VeNT · 28 Apr 2011 at 15:19

anyone know how to make this case stop vibrating all the time? it's like the side panel or front is loose but it FEELS tight on?
any ideas?

SGWills · 28 Apr 2011 at 15:45

blu tac

i use to put a small bit in the corners so when its closed it stops the panel from vibrating

setter · 28 Apr 2011 at 17:34

Yep, blu tac works well. One area that can vibrate is the top side of the motherboard tray, it can rattle in its rails, my technique for stopping this was to place a piece of stiff paper between the tray and the slide in rails.

xiphrex · 29 Apr 2011 at 00:46

I kick the case a couple of times and usually the rattle goes.

But then it comes back so I have to try an jiggle it about and take the cover off and put it back on and try stuff out.

Just got a Eclipse (V2) having had my XPS (mod) for too long, although it seem kinda sad seeing it empty and un-used under a table plus dam... its a handsome brunt.

Haven't done anything to it yet other than sanding back the front bezel to fit the Lian Li hd rack, so far very nice case, should keep me fiddling around for a bit.

(Must get rid of IDE DVD-RW)
