Akasa Mirage 62

hi

wonder if someone can answer a couple questions regarding the akasa mirage 62:

Is it identical to the eclipse 62?

If it is identical to the eclipse does this mean that the side window for sale on ocuk 'Akasa Eclipse 62 Window Side Panel' will therefore fit the mirage?

Many thanks in advance

Isnt it the 62 with a new front?

Indeedy, just a new front plastic bezel with a door, the rest is identical so side panels etc can be swapped.

Trouble with it though is its still plastic on the front, the extra cost over the eclipse just is not worth it in my opinion.

i have the 62 eclipse and tbh, i love it. i like the plastic on the front as i walk past my pc a lot in my room n the amount of times ive thrown stuff at it or moved stuff into it, the platic just bounces back, if it was metal it'l look better but it'd dent and scratch. i agree if ** paying £100 for a case it'd be nice if it was all metal, but nouts perfect.

It is a quality case, theres so much room inside and the mirrored motherboard tray helps light the case up if u put some cathodes in.

Yup, but would you pay more money for the same case with a front with a door?

Its not worth it in my opinion, the Eclipse is a cracking case, the Mirage is very good aswell, but offers LESS value for money compared to its biggest rival, the Eclipse!
