I also have the Eclipse, and since i use the handy wheels i was thinking of adding a few 120mm's to the bottom of the case to assist the cooling. Trying to keep the fans to low dB, ~20 odd max, so i can use more without creating a jet-engine like computer!
That an a top vent, though i was thinking of going for quiet 4x80mm's in a square (160mmx160mm) rather than 1x120mm..... my PSU is a little long to let me use 2x120 without dropping the DVD drive bay, and i think the 80mms would give better airflow...... Was thinking about some of these beauties:

Quiet, efficient, and vibration dampened.
Pondering over the side-panel with fan rather than the window..... dont really need to see the inside of my comp!

Akasa Sound Damping Foam. In my opinion you don't need it and it's a beggar to remove.

Hello,
I'm trying to decide if akasa eclipse 62 is the good case for me but I'm unable to see if itll fit all the stuff i want:
1 optical
5 hard disks
8800gts
Standard atx mainboard
Tuniq 120
Anyone has info to how far the gts streches , there must be enough space to but a hdd behind it...

5 HDDs should be ok, there are 2 slots in the 3 1/2in floppy bays, and 3 (or 4?) more slots below that, and another HDD cage that attaches next to the PSU.
Other than that, 4 optical bays, deep enough to take a SI-120 (one of the tallest tower heatsinks), motherboard tray, and tons of elbow space to mess around.

Akasa will fit everything,
4 optical bays
room for 5 hdd's in hdd area there are then 2 more above for a total of 7 (i have 6 hdd's) im not talking about the cage above the cpu area
8800gtx (even sli) fits so you should have no problem there
extended atx fits
i have a tuniq on mine, it can slide through on the mainboard tray as well. (look back for my previous post for proof in pics)

Have 5 hard drives in front of mine; removed the middle cage due to watercooling.
GTS has 10.5 inches of free space when fitted to the front of the case, you will definately fit all of your components in and more, this case offers more space than you will ever need.................... " the only limitations is your imagination"snowdog said:
