Case Mod - In Progress [CIP] Bel Air (Cosmos II) Update 22/05 New sponsor !

mmmmmmmmmm details, lots of little details!

 

Thank u Angel OD, I really hope to get more updates of the progress but I cant stop time to work a bid on the case.

Thx Burnout21, much more to come .

 

Update,

Last days/weeks I have bin working with SU to design a radiator mount that can be easily be installed in the bottom of the case. It needs to hold 2 radiators, 4 140mm fans, 2 Pumps and 2 drains for the system. All of this needs to be mounted on one piece so I just have to slide it in the case and connect the power for the fans and the pump and attach the rest of the tubes for the water loop. For this I have used the same idea as they did with MKII this way I don't have to attach everything in small tight places that are hard to reach. I Made a few print screens of the design so U can all have look at it until the real parts arrive.

New Midplate.


Radiator stand.


Radiator foot + drain and pump stand.


When the parts are lazered and bended it should look like this.




The DXG files are sended now I only can wait when the parts are ready.
Till next Update.

 

Look great Alain cant wait to see the pieces mounted together and installed inside the case.

 

Thanks Pascal.

Small teaser of the front grill of the Cosmos II. It is almost ready I just need the last 6 pieces of the grill. These parts will arrive this week. Then I can complete the grill.









The left piece still need to be attached to the rest of the grill.

The sanding work for the front grill is almost over. I only need to complete 6 more pieces and the grill is finished.
The past 2 weeks I have bin sanding the aluminium parts alsmost everyday.







My Gf was not really happy with it I was more interested in sanding all the parts then here. And the dirt that came with it was not helping.
I did all the pieces with grid 240,400,600,1000,1500,2000 with result as this.



Time to polish it with the drill. Using polish paste and cotton disk on my drill. This progress wasted my hole Sunday. to get maximum bling out of it.









Then I just have to place all the parts on its place.











6 More pieces and the grill is finished. Lucky they arrived by mail today with the radiator stand. That I had made in SU













Mounted the rads and pumps on the stand to check if everything fits proper.













Just enough room for the pipes and drains. Also the new midplate was ready for the case.



Fits perfect.





Also received a nice package from Cyberspace with 2 Aqua-Computer Poweradjust 2 USB - Ultra Version in it. Had the change to buy them over from. This way I got 1 controller for each loop.







If I got time this weekend I can tap some wire in the parts and modify the pumps housing.

Great work Alain, the grill is going to be (allready is now) epic when finished. And that rad/pump mount looks great. Keep it up!

 

Thank U Meelobee hope to finish the grill this weekend of next week.

I haven't words to explain your work so far!

Love the polished finish of the grill!

 

Wowzers and again wowzers !!! Mod on bro I really enjoyed your work so far!!

Started with the pumps housing. The 2 extensions on the side needed to be removed so the pump can fit on its stand.





On the bottom of the housing are 2 extra holes that can be use to hold the pump on its place. I just have to tap some wire in it. After that I started to sand the housing and prep it for painting.



While the paint was drying I made 10 aluminium rings that will help guiding the radiator stand on the mounting plate.



These will be attached on the bottom of the radiator stand. The mounting plate of the radiator stand will come in the bottom of the case. So I just have to push the stand in the case.





Midplate on its place not much room left.





Here is a short video of how it works.



I have finished the front grill now this piece is completed.



Because I was a little bored and didn't know what to do. I started to sand and polish the feet of the the CosmosII.
Original colour black.



After a few hours of sanding and polishing. It started to look like this.



Got lucky with the weather this weekend. So I made some pictures of the case outside on the balcony.































And a other short video of the radiator stand but with radiators and pumps installed.



That was it again. The next steps are. Polishing the top bars from the case. Make a HDD bay with a hotswap. And start with the top grill of the case that need to look like the front grill of the case.

 

Very good job.. i love the removable rads/pumps tray at the bottom.. nice idea! Keep it up!

 

Absolutely stunning man! Subscribed!

 

Simply incredible build dude, loving all of those custom parts

 

A real sexy looking case so far

 

WOW!!!!!

I wish I had the skills to do something like that to my Cosmos II.

Can I ask where are you going to mount the PSU in it?

 

Thanks Pinwmpires I got the idea when I saw MKII ^^

Thank U Socialite

Thx Editor22 I am doing my best and much more to come ofc. ^^

Thank U Kovoet

Thx Damien the feed and the top bars can do everyone U just need to sand them and polish it afterwards. The PSU will come behind the 420rad and next to the pumps. There is enough room for PSU and all the cables.
