You mind sharing your plans with us?

Sorry Sharon, don't want to hijack your thread, but I figured this info can be helpful towards your log as well

, hope you don't mind.

As far as the Koolance fans, no I have no used any of their fans till this date, sorry.

Hi Shazza.
I have just read your work log from the start and are envies of you.
As you just happened to have two motherboards and radiators (of all shape's and size's) just sitting around waiting and wishing they had a new pc case to call home.
Nice challenge to have.
Congratulations on retirement, hope you had an excellent holiday and good luck with your new project.
Now just waiting for more updates.

Cp: Of course i will share my plans.........when my worklog is up

Just kidding, ( remove everything in the bottom ) the quad goes nice on the left side and the thermochill on the other side. I use 3 fans between them...so push and pull in a wierd way.
The psu i hope i can be under the mid-plate and then make som nice holdings to my dual 655.

But i will make a worklog here becouse i know its so many talented folks here that can give advice and so on

Got my sleeving and some more from dualbrain yesterday so i hope it isnt long to i can make a worklog soon.

the plan is a little more, but i hope you see where i want

If you have some input..i will gladly hear them.

ps: My english isnt my stongest side.
Im waiting to gt some answar regarding powder-coating and some alu-work.

Awesome. I currently have a 120.4 but my TT Armour+case is just not the greatest for it, I had it mounted to the rear via a radbox, but it was just hard to move it around as the RAD overlapped the top by a considerable amount. I'm looking for something that can house it inside, and I think I just found my answer

**The Water Dog** · 09-13-2009, 09:30 AM

One of the reason to i pick this case was that it have almost every thing i want ( nothing is perfect )
And Shazza was starting on a new pro. so i figured out that having some more folks with the same case is not stupid ( for me )
I have oc and used computers some years now, but i have not alot of expierience for this:P

Sorry for this ot Shazza:S

The first build I saw of hers was "fun with the torture rack", link on first page. I thought it was amazing what she turned that Torture Rack into, so I'm really looking forward to this project. Damn Scotland took her away

CP: Coming with me to Scottland?, we are going to take Shazza back

This is more important then doing things in the real life:P

Hoping you have a blast over there Shazza

Black pearl only exists in an inverted atx motherboard version? Am I wrong? BTW love the case and worklog

**Caoder** · 09-13-2009, 08:14 PM

yup only inverted atx. Rebadged Lain Li v2000

**shazza** · 09-15-2009, 12:04 PM

lol - you guys and gals are funny

No problem going OT here. This whole log was started to generate some ideas for the Black Pearl build, so post away. I have received confirmation that I have a fresh new side panel arriving, along with a PA120.4, and some Gentle Typhoon fans. Working on my side panel configuration - not sure I'll be able to pull off my idea, but ready to give it a try.

We are truly enjoying our Scotland tour - spent several days in the Outer Hebrides - no internet (***gasp***), but it was wonderful. The view outside our hotel window at Castlebay (sorry - don't mean to litter up the LC section with travel pics, but it is truly a beautiful country!):

**Chicken Patty** · 09-15-2009, 02:51 PM

Wow, Scotland looks beautiful Sharon.

Can't wait for your new parts to arrive

**Angmaar** · 09-15-2009, 03:26 PM

That looks like a sweet build Shazza! The Scotland picture is awesome.

**kgtiger** · 09-16-2009, 12:41 AM

Dam! Wish I could look at from my window, picture perfect.

Looking forward to your build, looks great so far

**Caoder** · 09-30-2009, 11:25 AM

=( is she back yet? *wants to see more action with the black pearls....*

**shazza** · 09-30-2009, 12:40 PM

hehe - I'm back. Been a bit busy, and currently working on a small diversion - will post it up later. Still working on my side panel designs for the BP...

**dreamaxx** · 09-30-2009, 01:47 PM

Hey Shaz! <3 good to see you back

Can't wait to see how your build progresses!
