Might just try adding an etched window to my Fractal R2... Looks nice.

@Mik3, that's really nice etching mate.

@setter, that lian li is stunning, probably one of my favourite Lian Li cases tbh.

Are you gonna be fitting a custom loop inside that case?

::edit::

What is that round thing in the front of your Akasa case?

Is that one of those Scythe Kama Bay things??

::edited again!::

I should have a few things to post up here in the next week or two, I've been busy with my rig lately giving it a complete overhaul.

The case is currently at the powder coaters, hopefully should be back home by the end of this week "fingers crossed", once it arrives I've got a stack of new WC bits and another watercooled GTX280 to fit inside it.

Instead of just the triple rad I had before, I now have an XSPC RX480 quad and Feser Xchanger 240 to fit inside the basement section of my case, I'm changing the tubing from white to black, and I'm changing out my fans from those LED Xigmateks to plain black Yates instead.

It should hopefully be quite a difference from what it was like before, I can't wait to get started!!!

Got the build put together today, took a while gutting out the akasa eclipse 62.
Poor pic quality (only had phone cam, as my digi's broke)

Hopefully going to a custom watercooled setup, if i can get the funds, also your right davy, that was a kama bay in the eclipse. the Lian li a70f is a lovely case, very well manufactured, though it would really benefit from a modular psu. Im also gonna change the two front intake fans, im not very keen on led fans. I also look forward to seeing your results with dual 280's.

Nice to see others showing off their Element G cases. I have one of those too I will post some pics later on in the week.

I purchased mine when the price was at 64.99 so was a real bargin for it.

I changed the red stripes on the side panels to black. (used black electrical tape, looks great and did not cost anything) I did not like them and I only use the red lights looks far better with the black interior.

I too am thinking of getting a side window put in the side panel. But I will want to keep the fan there so that it does not ruin the great airflow the case has.

Cable management is excellent too. It is a shame for yours though, silly Asus.

Hi there where did you put your connector for the power switch led and which one did you use narrow 2 pin or wide 2 pin connector ?

I'm loving the HTPC setup.

I really like that case; very nice indeed!

Would you say it's worth the price? Whats it like for noise?

Blackhawk47 · 26 Jan 2010 at 22:22

Just got a new camera and my first DSLR...still waiting for Aperture to come in the post but they seemed to come out well enough using iPhoto.

On air I would say its maybe not worth all the money but if you plan to WC at a later date (which I do) then I would say so, tons of space amd really easy to work with, pictures don't do it justice as to how big it is, its as tall as my 32" TV and nearly as wide!

Noise wise its quiet enough for me, I was used to something that sounded like a jet engine though so its all relative

Its not the quietest in the world due to the empty triple rad position at the top which obviously lets both air and noise out.

I guess water cooling will help with the noise though. I'd like to give it a shot for my next build but am a little anxious about it, as I've never done it before.

I think it's better now
