    Akasa Eclipse-62 colour and side window???

    Hi there

    I just noticed that Scan 3XS Opteron 144 OC System comes with an Akasa Eclipse 62 *customised colour*. Im just wondering if by any chance you guys sell customised colour Akasa Eclipse in component shop? Can you guys make a deal on the Akasa Eclipse 62 csae with side window? Maybe a 'TODAY' deal?

    =)

    Cheers

    I was just last night reading up on how to spray cases as I'm looking to purchase the Akasa Eclipse-62...

    For me, a nice bright orange or a sexy black (the colours of my room ) would be amazing!

    Possibly however it costs quite a bit to get the cases sprayed etc.

    The cost of this is roughly as follows ** obviously this is based on the Akasa case **

    The price for the cost of the spray painting will be around £400 inc Vat - this is if the paint isnt heat reactive like on the chameleon etc, on top of this you would need to add the cost of the case as well therefore for an Akasa it would work out roughly £480 inc Vat

    However if you would like a quote for this service and have a case/colour in mind feel free to contact either me, steve or lee and we shall see if we can obtain a price for the colour and case you require.

    To request a TodayOnly offer - please use the handy link provided in the sig below.

    It would unlikely to be much less than £480 as per Carl's previous post.

    All our custom cases are custom sprayed. The cost is, as we say above, approximagely £480 for the case. There's a lot of work involved - not just "spraying them up a bit"

    The custom case colour is an option on the system, you need to select the MOD button and chose the colour you require.

    My own custom case job cost me over 300 quid (although it was a quite while ago so I could have the amount wrong ) - although the quality of the Akasa's is even better than mine

    The cost is mainly due to the labour and also the cost of materials.

    For example all the cases we get custom sprayed have to be completely stripped down so the paint is consistant, then they have to be sanded and primed etc etc .

    So there is quite a lot of work that goes on in ensuring the paint job is as high quality as possible

    i think the Akasa case looks sexy enough as it is, jet black or silver or the original casing colors i beleive. You cant beat a black and blue neon theme
