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

That radiator stand video made the final push for me and FRIGGIN BLEW my mind!

Beautifull work my friend! Get this done by august please!

 

Thank U pOPe I wish that the case could be ready but I still have no hardware for it and there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. I really feel like breaking down Project White for some parts. When I come I will take my TJ07 with me.

 

Looks really cool

 

Thank U Hask.

Update !
Havent really done very much because lak of time for this project. I am hoping to get back at it when the holiday is over.
But there are some little thing that I already have completed. The copper pipes are done between the radiators and pump. And installed 2 drains as well.



My first idea failed the curves in the pipe where to close on each other. So the pipe didn't line up with the fitting.





Next attempt I used a bend of 135° instate of 90°







After that was done I sanded and polished the pipes.







The 2 drainvalves.



Next step up is fixing the PSU mount. As U can see there is only a few mm space between the drains and the PSU.





Made a test plate out of carton to check if its fits.





Time for the real work.











Glued the piece with Bison metal metal glue.



Now it needs 24hours before the glue is ready. Then its time to sand the the rest of the glue away.

Till next Update.

Wow that copper pipe work looks amazing.

Cannot wait to see how this turns out.

Are you planning on using copper pipes from the rads up to the waterblocks?

 

Weird the pictures should work. ^^

Thanks Damien, the plan is to use copper pipes for the hole loop.

 

Quality build, watching with interest

 

Thank U Coolamasta

This Friday I received a package from my new sponsor Noctua. They sended me 10 Noctua 140MM NF-P14 FLX 1200RPM.

Thank you Michaela for this very nice discount on your products.





Mounted all the fans in the case.









A little bit of news about the build it self. The last 2 months I didn't do anything on the project but last week I have started back.
I am currently working on the air vents on the side panel. These will be made out of 6mm plexiglas that will be glued together to a solid piece of 12mm.











There is still some work before all 4 pieces are Finished.

Looking good mate cant wait to see the airvents completed.

 

Thanks Pascal, I just ran out of plexi so will need to buy some new one before I can continue.

 

The side panel looks really promising.
Looking forward to see the final result.

Small update I almost finished all pieces for the side panels. I only need to make 2 pieces before I can start filling up the small holes in the panel. The last 2 pieces will be very time consuming and a lot of pratice to get it right. But I will tell U more about it later this update.

I have taken the 2 side panels to work so I can start making some holes in it for the fins.





Removed the Aluminium from the plastic panel.



Cutted out 5 mm of the border of the panel this will give a better end result later in the progress.



Fitting the 2 fins in the panel.













As U can see there are some open spot between the pieces but U wont see this in the end result of the panel.



Next step is drilling some holes and tap some wire in it.



Placing the parts in the side panel.











Now I only need to make 1 more part for the panel before I can finish it. The idea is to implant a old school grill in the side that was used to ventilate the hot air under the hood. Here is a sample picture I have linked from the web to give U a idea.



The result will be beautiful but will take a lot of time and practice to get it right. I will try to make it out of 1mm thick iron plate that I had lying around from a other mod.



That was is it cya next time.
