that xps case is hot!!!
can you show some more pics of it?
can you show some more pics of it?
Akasa Eclipse 62's Club... Desktop & Machines.
- Thread starter BFG_9000
- Start date
It is, externally i think its one (if not top) of the best looking cases.
I dont have any up-to date pics of the XPS with bits in, or with better cabling.
When on i kept the LEDs blue, although red and yellow are/were options : Towers over the Eclipse
When i did it i rushed it, so it could have been better

really beautifull case there!
looks like it was designed by a sports car designer,
from volgswagen or porsche maybe.
it definitely needs the interior black painted though.

Good to see that the megahelims fits, mind if i ask Grimley, were you able to slide the mobo tray into the case with the cooler installed? Gonna have to put my system back into the eclipse shortly while i send my main case away.Latest update to mine;

Looks nice
Have you tried the cathode light nearer the front of the side panel?
I like the glow the cathode gives but I dont like how you can see the tube and how intense it is, prefer when you cant see the tube but can still see the glow. Thats how Ive done it but it doesnt look that great due to scratched window.

Still have two of them, one has a second system in it, the other is currently empty, in pristine condition. Gonna be transferring my rig in sig into it soon.

Thanks!
There is another cathode light at the position you suggest
.The lights are from akasa which were sold at pairs.
I couldn't find a better place for it yet, not that i don't like over there though

Will do, i had it in the eclipse before, i then switched to a lian li a70f full tower. As the lian li is being sent away to get powdercoated soon, im gonna be using the eclipse as a temporary case.

Whats the cable management like in these?
Reckon you can get a 24pin behind the mobo tray?
Reckon you can get a 24pin behind the mobo tray?
yeah, i know becuase i did, just as long as its long enough as there are no direct routs from the psu bay to behind the motherboard trays, so a standard size 24pin would be a stretch, As for the cable management, Lets just say its fairly easy to manage, and is a big and easy case to build in, Hope this helps.
