I'm thinking of painting the inside rack/PSU shelf of my Eclipse, any one know of anyone who's done this, any pictures etc? I think yellow or red would be a good colour. Also, what kind of paint should I use?

Personaly I would leave it all black inside as it came, you could use different cathodes inside to give it more colour, and its easily changed when you fancy a change..manoz said:

Agreed, One of the many reasons why I brought it. Looks great all black.
Like Tom84 said, you wouldnt be able to see it even with a window.

I'm talking about this bit, so you would be able to see it, then again thinking about it, painting will make it too in your face and lose it subtlety *sigh*

Ah ok when you said inside rack/PSU shelf I thought you meant where the PSU actually sits

Definately keep it all black..

Ditto. Got mine when I build my last rig (A64/6800GT/1GBDDR), and the Eclipse is still one of the best cases you can buy.
Looking to change my Akasa to a C2D setup, how good does to stock cooler keep temp's down (not looking to overclock)C64 said:My latest akasa eclipse gubbins posted my tuniq backplate by mistake

Hi New to the thread but long term user of the Eclipse
I know the Eclipse is a big case but i was shocked to see no-one else has took the same approach to me when mounting the rear exhaust fan
It's a simple way to increase space and airflow inside the case especially with some of the larger coolers on the market.
a few more images of my previous setup with the eclipse:
Stealthed drives
Cathode Switches
In the process of upgrading so i'll post more pics later in the week.

Just transferred my parts into one today. Coming from a Super Lanboy it really makes a difference! So much more space and such a lower temp.

Just wanted to ask. The case fans that now come with the eclipse 62 do they have blue LED's in them?

I don't think so, first thing I did was remove them and fit the Noctua 1200rpm's I had in my previous case! I'm pretty sure they don't, I can't see any LEDs on them just by looking.
Like the Stealthed DVD Drives.The_Vindicator said:Hi New to the thread but long term user of the Eclipse
