Morning all

Just seen this case but can't find any decent internal images (or airflow diagrames) their is an angled shot on the akasa site but small and missing detail.

I've an OC'ed 805 on a P5WD3 Prem, AC freezer 7 pro, 1Gb Ballistix
so the included 'air duct' not really applicatable with the freezer but what are your thoughts.

Happy to spend more if improved airflow gained

I know the Eclipse is probably better in cooling compared to that but this case definitely looks nicer in the front than the Eclipse...

Definatly I do like my Eclipse 62 but yeah the front looks terrible what I find worser is the black casing, ive found my black keyboard/case/mouse just mounts dust like no ones business!

Next case is definatly a silver finish or black n silver...
 
Just spotted this case, looks pretty good for the money, nice looking and 120mm fans. So it could be perfect for the budget PC I'm upgrading.

Has anyone purchased one of these yet? Or maybe seen one? Could really do with a few more pictures, internal pictures especially. Or maybe as previously suggested someone from OcUK could post anything they have from Akasa.

Thanks for the links HighlandeR, has been a great help!
 
Right for those that are intrested I've managed to get some larger pictures from Akasa. They are mostly just larger versions of the tiny pictures in the links that HighlandeR provided, but they do give a good impression of what the case is like. Most of them are of the black version, but the inernals will all be the same, there is also a very nice and large image of the white case at the bottom of the list. I've hosted them on my webspace and the links are below:

Hope this helps.
 
I should be ordering one tonight or in the morning. :)

Will post pictures when I get it, looks like it could be a PC7+ beater on paper just depends on the build! ;)

Yeah, more pictures would be great. Let us know once you get it! :D
 
The temperatures will be from my case comparisson rig, a 2400xp with GF4, outputs insane heat so is a good testing rig. :)

Sure will, I have high hopes for this case. :)
 
This looks like a great case, I was thinking of getting a Antec case but saw this and thought it looks much nicer and includes 2x 120mm fans, think im going to get it this weekend. :)

Random noob question but the case has a front fan but no inlet....... Doesn't this make the fan some what ineffective....

Not sure actually, there could be an intake hole at the bottom or something. I had thought there would be holes down the sides like the Antec P180 but the larger white case picture at the end of my list of images doesn't show anything. One of the things that unless someone's seen it in the flesh it's hard to tell.
