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

They are both 1000's and I have a 2000 on the front drawing air in. Now the 1000's are very very quite and the 2000's are nosiey as you like.

I added one of these - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-006-GE

to the front connector as I have it going straight up the back and connecting to the psu this takes the fan down to around 1700 rpm and the noise different takes it down a noise category if you know what I mean. Sounds very good now and cooling hasn't been noticeably effected.

The fans are great and the fact they come perfectly braided is a bonus

I've just decided to put my wheels on my Eclipse as its now sitting on the floor, but i cant seem to find the box with the screws in. Does anyone know what screws they are fitted with so i can try to source some more. Cheers

Ahh nice job, im looking at ordering a few of the se 2000 models to use on my TRUE120 in push/pull to replace my current 1500rpm arctic pwm fans. is it ok to run 2 fans like theese of the mobo 3 pin headers.

Nice work Tetsu - looks really good with the braiding.

Poweredge · 10 Oct 2008 at 21:04

Update : Just about to shift the 2 500GB F1's up top using those black Akasa heat-spreaders, then adding 2 Akasa HDD coolers (the 2 fan kind). That'll take it up to 15 fans moving air.

Mate, they are just normal coarse *sp?! screws. You will need 4 per wheel.

For me the top exhaust should be directly above the power supply.

Cheers tetsu, 2 silent eagles on my cooler should help keep my quad from getting to toasty

hey Tetsu, i've just decided i'm gonna swap my Eclipse for an Omega, just wonderin what material this bit is made of, as it looks like i'd have to cut it so i can install a fan controller in the 3.5 bay

(JUST SOME RANDOM PIC FROM GOOGLE)

Seems like a bad design fault :eek:

Tetsu · 12 Oct 2008 at 07:51

Pepper that is plastic.

fobose · 12 Oct 2008 at 10:34

I cut that exact bit out on my old Mirage, as I mounted two Xilence 3.5" fan controllers in there. Just used a sharpe knife for it.

Sgt_Pepper · 13 Oct 2008 at 19:27

so i was browsing the web looking for some ideas for when my Omega comes on tuesday and came across this, IMO this is probly one of the best ones i've seen. love the Orange on Black.

BFG_9000 · 13 Oct 2008 at 20:08

Very HL2'ish...

TheMagic1an · 14 Oct 2008 at 21:05

oooo very nice. I love the orange.

TheRedZealot · 14 Oct 2008 at 21:40

That looks very nice, and lol at paint skills pepper.

Tetsu · 14 Oct 2008 at 22:05

MMM very nice. Like that a lot.

Sgt_Pepper · 14 Oct 2008 at 23:56

well my Omega arrived today, and its broken

the securing tabs have snapped off the front panel and the side grill. Now i have to wait to get a new one. Really impresed with the way the new design front panel looks tho.
