Anxious to get back to the build, but that will have to wait. Currently having fun making new friends - although I think she's laughing at me:

Spent a couple hours at an old church and graveyard today - no one else around. Quite interesting.

And, found a nice boat (had to get something in here about water ;) ):

Hey Sharon, got a question for you, about the build :D Or really anybody can answer.
What size rads can be placed inside the Black Pearl? Would it by any chance fit a 120.4?
Looks like there should not be a problem with the 120.4 in the bottom - probably just need to reverse the PSU mount so it sits above the radiator. Actually, I will probably end up going with a 120.4 if my plans for the side panel work out.Quote:

Thanks, sargantas - it's pretty much the same case except for the front fan controller, so I think it should work fine.
@CP - here's a pic of the back. It looks like you can just reverse the PSU bracket. I know that PPCs also sells additional brackets for the PSU on the V2000, in case you prefer to mount it sideways.

well u can reverse the psu bracket but the fan of the psu will be pointed at the midplate.
that's why I modded míne to rotate the psu 180°.

when u flip it the psu with fans on bottom have it up against the midplate.. :/ i don't like it.. it heats it up.
uhm yea the antec will work flawlessly just rotate the bracket and u are fine.
but most of the psu's have their fan on the side ^^
Yep - that's why I thought I'd use the Antec instead of the Corsair HX1000w that's waiting in the wings :) Still haven't given up the idea of mounting the PSU in the front bays above the midplate - still thinking on it.
Thanks for the pic Sharon, and for the info.
THanks to everyone else as well. I'm going to look on PPC's to see what they have to offer. I'll post back some info soon.
Sharon,
is this what you were talking about from PPCS?
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=24227
Yep - they have that one, and maybe another one or two.
btw the brackets of a lianli 343b fit too, don't know if there are some which might help you but I use that one to have a 120mm fan instead of the 2x80
For the psu flipping over issue, I drilled out holes in the midplates, that way the psu gets fresh air and air moves arounf vrm and cpu area. Easy breezy beautiful.... erm :cool:
Thank you guys, been very helpful. I have a tech station coming for my i7 rig. But I want to build another rig maybe an AMD/ATI rig which I will put into a case. Since Sharon created this log I've been having dreams with this case and its price :rofl: So I am highly considering it.
i would just use a pc&c silencer ;) i'm swapping it for my antec psu.
Or just make a completely new plate......
Its not completely finished. Sorry Shazza not trying to steal your thread.

No problem, Jonni :up: I like your new plate.
Love the boat pic! If you happen to see any pirates in Scotland, take some pics! :D
y'argh - do I count? I came from Largs where there's lots of boaties!Quote:
