I bought my Akasa Eclipse 62 in about 2008 I think. I went back to using it about 4 years ago after having a couple of laptops. After moving house in 2013 I found the laptop never really left my desk, so switched back to "desktop" (it's under my desk) when the time came to upgrade. It's a decent case, but I also switched from a cheap AIO cooler to a Noctua air cooler when upgrading to a 7800X3D and the top drive cage had to come out to make room for it.
Funny to see 3 people now with Eclipse 62 cases, but they're roomy enough for any modern GPU and the sliding motherboard tray makes it so easy to service. And they meet most modern needs for multiple 120mm fans, unless you want a huge radiator. Overall it's just a great case. The other useful feature is the removable top panel, makes it so much easier to get to the PSU and optical drive.
