Bought a few Akasa windowed side panels and all fitted plush with case, any way you can ease the panel in without bending it.

Might be worth ordering another windowed side panel...
Hi, Yes it is the Akasa PAX-2, just used it to finish off the base of the case, and mainly for show..magick said:
the pre-cut piece that comes with the kit fits perfectly on the base of the Akasa, gives it a nice finish.... 
Very nice case M8, you can tell you spent a lot of time and PC loving with this build, I have just purchased a Akasa Mirage in addition to my original Akasa Eclipse 62, and the front door panel makes a welcome addition, nice to see Akasa hasn't changed the internal layout of the already perfect design, Great pictures M8, and again .... be proud of your RIG....zia said:some pic's of my mirage
not much to look at compared to some of the very nice case's in this thread
zia
looks FAB.
Any pics of your Eclipse...magick said:
Excellent Pics M8, Nice Rig..
Have you thought of buying the Akasa Eclipse side panel with the 120mm fan, only about £20... and excellent cooling...
and excellent cooling...
mwtb said:I just swapped my gear from a Sonata I into an Akasa Eclipse. I was hoping to see a few degrees drop on the CPU, but the temps are much the same ([email protected] - 1.375V, idling at 45C-ish), although my hard disks are better cooled and the whole thing is much quieter. I suspect that much of the quietness comes down to using all S-Flex 1600 fans, including replacing the stock fan on my Tuniq, and running them at 1000RPM on the front and rear and 1200 on the CPU.
Anyway, here's a rather poor pic:
The cabling could be tidier from a cosmetic standpoint, but airflow isn't restricted by it. I think the next move is to pull out one of the HDs and try suspending the other two as the HDs are the loudest part of the system now, with an annoying resonant hum.
And, yes, the fans are mounted with masking tape - it's secure, silent and provides a seal around the intake/outlet. I recommend it.
V.Nice...
Nice looking Mod.toxic said:Installed a kama Bay cooler to the front of my elclipse and a couple of Akasa blue fans to brighten up the front..looks quite good...beter than the boring front that was there allready. Its also helped dropped the temps by a good few degrees
Actually looks beter than it does in the photo..not quite so bright.
Nice Eclipse Pics.....
Gives an excellent finish to base...lay-z-boy said:
Not at all...fobose said:
I bought it initially to finish off the base of the Eclipse, looks good and in keeping with the case...
You will find the Akasa Mirage will not give cooler temps like the Eclipse, due to the Mirages door obstructing some of the airflow to the front 120mm fan....
Post pics of your case setup, will give me a better idea on how to help....fobose said:
Excellent setup... I'm going to get a guard dog for my Akasa Eclipse...

Nice pics.....
How about internal layout pics.........fobose said:
Decided to change the layout to what most of you suggested, I prefer it actually although when I open my DVDRW the back of the tray is obstructed by the top of the case but its not to difficult to maneuver around.
Temps seem to be about 2-3c lower now too
Your probably all sick of seeing my case now :/
Interesting theory...Buckster said:
Hows this..lay-z-boy said:the way your posts end with
