Akasa Eclipse 62's Club... Desktop & Machines.

Hmmm - I'm looking through all the stuff associated with these and quite frankly I can now remember how annoyed I was at the time with all the people who said - Oh yes, I'd pay £200 for an Eclipse with a full alloy front, but it would have to have...

A door
Two doors
Two 120mm fan ports
etc. etc.

Basically every one would have had to have been custom made for anyone to have been happy, and in the end I sold them back to Hoojum for scrap as part of the hefty bill I'd run up with them (including buy a new Eclipse to take measurements from).

When push actually came to shove, no-one would actually put their hand in their pocket, at which point I realised there was no market and binned the project.

I must have pictures somewhere! I just can't seem to find any, except of the standard type front, which just looks lik ethe ordinary case (another reason no-one would buy one - it didn't look special, just nothing for the no-plastic snobs to take pot-shots at). Bitter? Me? Never!:rolleyes:

Shame they never took off... sound like they were pretty cool front panels...:cool:
 
Sweet. I'm gonna mount a lian li ex-33 in the omega, I like the sythe kama bay but the fit isnt great and you cant get to the filter.

going to either remove the back and spray it black or remove it all together and suspend the hard drives behind it. then rip out the spare cages, taking out the cages totally elevates akasa cases imo.
 
Actually totally forgot the omega has a top exhaust fan holes. could just sit the hdd right underneath one and put a 120 fan on the bottom of the hdd blowing up. mmmm that sounds good.

Might not even have to bother with the 120mm fan underneath if the hard drive is mount right next to the top exhaust fan. thoughts anyone?

that's what i mean though. as the above picture but still with the exhaust fans. or are you saying dont block it with the harddrive? because there would still be another one unblocked.

so like this

Basically I would encourage at least one top exhaust fan to be come available to get hot air out of the top of the case...

well I suppose both setups will basically impeded the front one, lucky there's 2 exhausts.

yeah i'll probably get the lian li bay. be good for upgrades and is good for case flow. just dont want loads of dust problem but i'm sure a good filter will keep it clean.
