Akasa Eclipse
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.

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.
