I just have never felt the need or urge to change the case.
Nice link to pics... shiny MB tray
a small update with 2xf12 arctic cooling fans and an accelero twin turbo pro vga cooler.
my pc is waaaay more quiet now!!!
Woooo nice set-up.. more pics
Nice job Eclipse did have a minor flaw with no top exhaust fan.. still an awesome case.

Haven't seen any pictures of the "Omega" for ages.. love to see pics of those cases again..
Still using mine, main rig moved to a Silverstone TJ09 for top vents, then on to a Raven RV05 (wanted the Fortress but this was half the price for plastic) for better gpu cooling and port access. Eclipse now lays under a bed housing my file/media server with passive components and 18tb of foam mounted hard drives. Can't hear it over the hum of the sub in the same room. Rescued it from someone who wanted to put 4x 120mm fans in the side panel and it's been running a pc in one form or another 24h/365d for the last 10 years. Solid case and fantastic value.
Looking through old photos of mine:
First media centre, seeing if the top hdd rack would still fit with an arctic cooler (2007)
Back as main PC in 2008. 1.65tb of HDD space!
i7 System built in 2009, this is the case after a tidy up in 2011
A year later it went on to full time file server/media player when my main system was moved into rescued TJ09.
I'll need to get some photos of the file server up, but there's a lot of foam in there!
Looks very nice setup, very shortly building new computer and will update case pictures.
Trying to locate an Eclipse 62 for another build..... getting so hard to find this classic case.
A fun case indeed..... may be mission impossible but I will find another for a new build.
Same... wish I bought more than 2 when they were available.
I still have the classics...an original Akasa Eclipse 62 with extra AMD etched side window and the original box. Also a 2002 Globalwin 802 OCUK Coolercase Tornado (sounded like one!) in rare black with replaced gold fan grills and quieter Akasa fans (originally 4x YS Tech 120mm).
Both have been in storage and I can't find a use / part with them. Both in very good condition (some wear and tear in places). Still have their spare fascias etc. I know in the past case king Yewen was after one.
Wow... true retro classics
More pics to come I hope
