<snip>Here's mine with the kama bay...

Thanks for the idea, just set up my new rig - used the blue Akasa fan in the Kama Bay after seeing this thread last week!

Looks great, imo

Happy with temps too, and compared to my old xp2800 it's silent.

i dont think so, the door sits more or less flush with the case front.

How long did it take for him to stay in place? LOL

Nice looking rig, really thinking about switching to water myself

Matt7613 · 5 Aug 2007 at 23:44

Thanks for the comments,

I think he's a little tired..

Too long!

It took me ages to get it tidy, but its worth it temps wise. Water is very good imo, however mine has leaked a number of times!

However If you have Quad Core, I would build a mega water cooling setup as temps for Quad on water can just the same or higher.

New build

And yes there is only 1 stick of ram as my other stick was faulty, sending it back tomorrow :/

Ian Marsh · 16 Aug 2007 at 23:35

Some very nice systems indeed. I am in the market for a new case for my new rebuild. Does the Akasa Eclipse 62 window Side Panel also fit to the Akasa Mirage 62 without any modifying ?

BFG_9000 · 16 Aug 2007 at 23:37

The Akasa Eclipse side panel window will fit the Mirage, there is no diffrence between the two cases apart from the front bezel..

Ian Marsh · 16 Aug 2007 at 23:41

Thanks BFG_9000, I do like the look of the Mirage. This is one case I may add to my long shopping list.

Reasteh · 17 Aug 2007 at 01:44

does anyone still use the standard 120mm case fans that come with the eclipse? cos i just got mine and the temps seem quite high :/

dave24 · 17 Aug 2007 at 07:15

I replaced mine by Xilence Red Wings but I'm not sure I should have bothered, temperatures seem about the same. Next time I take it apart I'll probably try ambers...
