Anyone got an Akasa Eclipse 62 case? I'm interested to know if it really is as quiet as they say - particularly with two 120mmm fans in it...Also, what's your general opinion of it?

Thanks
1nt.

Windows is now a 64 bit tweak of a 32 bit extension to a 16 bit user interface for an 8 bit operating system based on a 4 bit architecture from a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition...So why the hell have I bought Vista?...OK so Win 7 is pretty good now.

Well... even though I know what you mean.... a case (to a certain extent) is only as quiet as the fans in it. I think the Eclipse is pretty solidly built (so I would hope for £85-ish) so absorbs a fair amount of fan noise and vibration but it depends on the fans.

IMHO, its a good case, but I dont think it would be my first choice.... prob top 5 tho

Well i've just collected my Akasa Eclipse 62 case and on first inspection it looks really good - better than my Lian Li in some respects (but not all). The Lian-Li is going to become my second rig for testing stuff as it's so roomy and flexible for pautting stuff in and swapping it around.
