Project: Angel

w3bbo · 25 Mar 2009 at 19:19

I was undecided tbh. I like the Eagles but it meant spraying the black surrounds which would have been a royal PITA. Coolink do a nice blue fan and clear frame, a bit brighter than the Akasa ones which were tempting. My other option was the old favourate Yateloon SL-12's with blue LED's but the rumours are that these aint really Yate loons, just a cheaper imitation.

Then I saw the Enermax Clusters and the rest was history. White frame, white LED's (which can be turned off if needed) white cabling etc. All this meant that these were the fans for me.

Sounds like a nice project.

Any idea what the noise is like for those fans? - a quick google only brings up silly claims of 14dB and 53cfm.

The fan blade design is very novel - almost cloud like.
Here's what some one else if doing with a USA import case

And here is a video of the fans - really like the removable fan blades for cleaning etc

Here's a few shots of some of the hardware that I will be using:

I don't normally go for Gigabytes but the UD5 impressed me a lot when I sampled it and it matches the theme of the build.

12GB...hmmmz

Micron D9 goodness :cool:

Gotta say this Patriot ram is lush and perfectly matches the mobo...but I have a few extra mods planned for it yet

More to come soon (I hope!).

Nicee

Looking great, but is the 850W PSU going to be up for the job?

w3bbo · 27 Mar 2009 at 21:00

I might use two psu's if the need arises, there's room for two in the case so it would be rude not to

Happy · 28 Mar 2009 at 01:31

Of course

EdGey · 28 Mar 2009 at 05:35

Update

Little update, just got a mail from MountainMods:

Hi Richard,

The parts were picked up yesterday from powder.
I’ll work this weekend and get the thing airborne beginning of next week.

Cheers,

Mountain Mods

Result!

Now to battle with the import taxation.

Can you not have them send it as a gift - I mean it effectively is isn't it? (kind of). Looking forward to the build.

Edit: Actually, you get taxed on expensive gifts as well don't you? Hmmm.

w3bbo · 2 Apr 2009 at 22:12

I dunno tbh, it's officially a review item so I don't know how import tax works on things like that.

Looking good, can't wait to see the finish build

Off topic:
1. How do you take pic with white background like that?
2. Is Overclock3d.net your website?

Thanks

w3bbo · 3 Apr 2009 at 09:01

1. Depends what equipment you have. When I first started out I took pics in a bath and simply altered the exposure as required. I have a white room now which makes things much easier

.

2. Not 'my' webiste - I most of the component reviews for them.

Looks great w3bbo!

Think the colour combo of the mobo and ram is awesome!!! :cool:

I know it's of topic but do have a pic of this?

Looking for something similar myself.
