I'll be posting some updated photo's of my Eclipse now that I've received my windowed panel 6 months after ordering it!
My new HD4850 with Akasa Vortexx cooler and some lighting should look sweet.

If the drive bay came from an Antec 1200, the slide filters are pre-installed, one of the best upgrades Antec made from the 900.

Yeah although producing any case these days without a filter is criminal imo

I did prety much the same thing but with an Antec 900 HDD cage, could do with a black fan in there though.

Cant you just spray paint the blades?

edit: bad idea, the paint might seal the fan from spinning

Really like that mod, fits in perfectly.

Did you just have the HDD cage lying about? Might have to see if I can source one...

Ye, used to have a 900, decided to take this out when i gave it away.

I emailed Antec to see if i could get another to fit in the bottom, but they never mailed me back.

Might be a good idea to get some sort of filter, large fan= large amounts of dust..

Decided to order a Mirage V4 over the Omega.

The omega is great case but I prefer the look of the Mirage. Should be back in stock on the 28th so will be doing a building log on 2 mirages.

Nice mod.

. You should really get a filter on that ASAP. My side 120mm fan was blowing in a lot of dust until i added a filter. I wouldn't like to see how much dust yours attracts...

Tetsu · 19 Aug 2008 at 22:20

And those 220mm fans shift a boat load of air - and dust

Should'nt be too much trouble to make a filter for this fan...

Tetsu · 20 Aug 2008 at 00:11

No accept the appearance would be compromised quite a bit dont you think?

Around white filter would'nt look too bad..

Tetsu · 20 Aug 2008 at 09:16

True, what could you use though....tights? I mean they dont actually make filter that big.

Will the eclipse be sufficient to cool 2 x 1TB harddrives and 2 x 4870's in crossfire? With only a 120mm fan at the front and one at the back. My computer gets left on for days at a time while its rendering video footage at 80% usage or something around that.
