Ooooh that reminds me, I'll have to get a shot of mine now that my system has been up and running for a few months 
Akasa Eclipse 62's Club... Desktop & Machines.
- Thread starter BFG_9000
- Start date
Here's my first build.
Didn't take me long, and was not as hard as I expected (with the help from oc forum stickies!).
Getting the fan on the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 was the hardest part.
Photo's not the best, maybe needed to pan out a bit
Need new graphics card and another HDD, i've bungie modded the one i've got and removed the HDD and floppy cages to increase airflow. Makes the case appear huge!
Still waiting for my window to arrive

I may have to remove my HDD cage to let more air in, i'm currently running it with the side off and a YateLoon 88cmf fan screwed onto the side. its chilly now tho.

looks nice. if i ever do get an eclipse id probably do this . but what does bungie modded mean ?

That does look awesome, I too when I had this case back in 06 took the hdd/floppy cages completly off, it looks so much neater and better. I got silent boxes and shoved my hdds in the 5.25 bays.
Such a shame they stopped dishing out newer and better cases, mind u the Eclipse 62 I still hold as one of the top cases out there.

Nice 1
evga 780i
new(er) ram
5 80gb drives for 4*500gb
another 8800gtx
will probably redo the water loop as well

its a way of cutting the noise of the hard drives down by suspending them inside the case on bungee cord

@ bfg9000, im thinking of replacing the standard 120mm fans in my eclipse, what would you reccomend for good quiet fans that supply a decent airflow, i was considering akasa ambers but i noticed theyre led fans, im looking for something that aint blingy that moves a lot of air and is fairly quiet.

ive got the akasa amber 120mm fan and its not led ... why does everyone think it is ?
its very quiet and pushes a decent amount of air. dont know if its the best in the world though

The only fans I have ever used are the blue amber Akasa fans, they do push a lot of air and the leds are not to bright so don't bling the case too much....

how come none of mine (got both 80mm and 120mm fans) have leds ? the colour is somewhat distinct but i wouldnt say there was any leds
Ran out of native cables on my HX520
Looks terrible inside the case right now thanks to two 6 pin to dual molex connectors and 2 molex bridge cables.
Will be ordering a new psu (quattro/realpower 1kw) and redo the watercooling at the same time.
Should be good once I've done that, till then it's too embarrassed to post it.
