Looks liek the omega has come down to £120 in a few places. Luckily I requested a refund as I thought it was artificially high for launch.

Tetsu: You getting another case on returning your Omega, was looking forward to seeing build pics in your new case.

Oh yes defo, just didnt want to pay a £20 preimium if i'm going to get it late. I'm also looking for another case for another build but the choice of cases is quite frankly crap.

There's only a few cases with black internals and most of the cases I like on the outside are garbage on the the inside *cough lian li cough*

may have to purchase my first ellipse

So you not getting another Omega??? thought you liked the case M8

I just got my Omega a few days ago to replace my older Eclipse which i've have for about 4 years. I love the front panel, it makes the case look more solid looking than the all plastic front of the Eclipse.

Very nice build, that front panel definetly makes a diffrence.

No i'm definatly getting another OMEGA! just looking for another case as well. the reason I got the refund was purely to gain £20. Be purchasing again next week

Great news... that side window looks awesome on "TheMagic1an's " Omega, its the look I am after when I get mine...

Excellent stuff.....

Very... very nice build, well done M8, I do like the red 120mm fans they do compliment the case.. :cool:

10/10.

TheMagic1an said:
thanks a lot ...yeah the red fans really look nice with black. The vent at the top is great with the 2x120mm fans as they get rid of a lot more heat, especially any from the power supply.

The 2x120mm fans at the top of the Omega are there fixings for them or do you have to drill additional holes for them to fit..

BFG_9000 · 20 Jul 2008 at 18:30

TheMagic1an said:
Theres holes for both a rad for water cooling and for the 120mm fans, so you don't need to drill any holes. The vent cover clips of very easily.

Thats good news.... looks like I'm going to get one next payday

Hi, I'm really trying to lower my temps at the moment, does anyone have one of these..

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...kasa Eclipse 62 Thermally Advanced Side Panel

and if so does it make a difference to the temps?

Will cool your Eclipse by about 4-5c, good side panel to have...

BFG_9000 · 20 Jul 2008 at 23:37

Definetly best to have that fan blowing air in...

Mines came with one hole as well, i just used the tray from my old Eclipse. I wonder why they only have one hole in them now.

I would also like to know why they changed it from 3 holes to 1 hole on the MB tray, I noticed that they changed the design in the last 12 months with the Eclipse's, wish I kept my old Eclipse MB tray now...

I bet akasa UK could source you one for very little. they are very helpful with spares, Just don't ask them why its changed as I guarantee they don't know. They are just the monkey to a large Taiwanese organ grinder.

Will email them when I finish work, fingers crossed they might have one...

TheMagic1an said:
Yeah, it's a bit crazy to just stop cutting them out and just leave one hole, which is pointless anyway since that hole never gets used since it's blocked by the motherboard.

Out of the three original holes the one they left had to be the most useless one...

BFG_9000 · 23 Jul 2008 at 08:05

The two panels Akasa provide with the Eclipse a clear panel with a 120mm fan would be a welcome addition, with my history in DIY I dread to think what my panel would look like if I gave it a go... "TheMagic1an" nice work M8.
