    Akasa Eclipse-62

    Does anyone have one of these? Are they any good? I plan to get one as I'm getting sick of my T.Take Armour.

    Anyone found a good review showing the inside?

    And scan - any ETA on the window coming back in stock?

    Its a great case. The case is so deep that its very easy to install stuff.

    Some problems I have to point out is, the dust filter was not effective and instead of all air going into the case filtered, the air went through the 5.25" slots. I have 3mm of dust on my XP-90 hsf with just over 6 weeks uptime.

    Other than that its superb all-round.

    I really don't see why the looks get such a slating. I've got one. Granted it sits under my desk, but I don't think the looks are THAT bad. It has no particular styling to it, and the plastic front isnt brilliant but is a breeze to take apart. I like it

    Saying that, my next case may have a bit more style to it, but I'd be happy to stick with this if its at the expense of going over budget!

    Would also look at the Silverstone TJ07, GIgabyte Aurora, and Lian Li V1000. Silverstone is my fav so far.
