M8, you got your Omega replacement yet... was looking forward to a build log...
The 1st non-Akasa Eclipse Case in this thread... "Tetsu" nice work M8 and only 4hrs to build....
Not a great picture. I didnt go nuts on cable management as its just for the old dear. still quite tidy though.
Took 4 hours from start to all software installed.
mmmm love these type of shots
I do prefer these shots than case shots, shame to open all those mint/sealed packages...
Is that an Eclipse with the side panel off on the floor... are you preparing to upgrade your conponents... Don't throw my boxes away etheir...
Don't throw my boxes away etheir...
Definetly attract more buyers if you can sell components in there retail boxes.. cases especially.
Was considering mounting my HD's behind a Kama Bay myself until I saw Tetsu's post above. My PC's airflow was quite bad and the cable management had become horrible... (see below pic)
...so I bought a Lian Li EX-34N to mount in my Mirage case which has made quite a nice difference overall.
Shame about the rats nest at the very top of my case though a fan controller might help alleviate that in the future.
The only small gripe is there is a small gap at the top of the fan grill (see above picture) but otherwise I'm very happy with the results.
Below are some close up pictures of the EX-34N for anyone that's interested in it:
Very nice work M8...
I did prety much the same thing but with an Antec 900 HDD cage, could do with a black fan in there though.
Was thinking about cutting the bottom of the front panel out and fitting another 900 HDD cage there for optimal airflow.
Wow an Antec Akasa mod..... very nice work M8, looks very nice
Hi Tetsu
Yes I am doing another Antec 1200 build at the weekend, I have just bought all the components for my new computer which will include a AMD Phenom X4 Quad Core 9850 2.50GHz Black Edition a EVGA GTX 260 & 4 Gig's of Crucial Ballistix memory I will do a little build log in my Antec 1200 thread....
Which MB are you waiting for... I like AMD builds especially with the HSF assembly being so user friendly, unlike the Intel push pin HSF which uses so much force to push the pins in. Performance wise the AMD Phenom X4 Quad Core 9850 2.50GHz Black Edition will give me more than I need to play TF2....
especially with a GTX 260 (896MB DDR3 )holding its hand...
I do play TF2 90% of the time, but with Red Alert 3 and Diablo 3 soon to be released it gives me a little more headroom for graphics.. TF2 is dominating my life at the moment

With the recent price drops of the GTX 260 it was an easy choice to make, the EVGA GTX 260 was only £210...
I thought that the HD4870 faster than the GTX260
I'm not sure on that M8... its going to be a system I'm going to be very happy with, and will easily play any games that I am interested in on my 22" Flatron LG ...
for a long, long while
I'm suprised as well on how good it fitted in the Akasa Eclipse.
If the drive bay came from an Antec 1200, the slide filters are pre-installed, one of the best upgrades Antec made from the 900.
it a akasa 220mm fan, its nice and quite,pushs fair amount of air into the case,noticed quite a drop in temps both cpu and gpu,got to tidy it up a bit,its bit of mess in there
zia
Any fan filters for this 220mm fan...
