    Well with the new EVGA SR-X hitting the retailers, its time for a new build to coincide with the release.

    My aim is to show off the ridiculously high spec of the new 2011 platform together with a couple of EVGA GTX680 Hydro Copper cards.

    Due to the massive HPTX form factor, i've decided to use the Cosmos II to house it all in which can handle the size no problem and in fact looks much better in my opinion as a normal ATX board gets dwarfed in there.

    So, the spec so far which will be added to as things progress and a quick look at the SR-X motherboard...

    System Spec:
    Cosmos II
    EVGA SR-X Motherboard
    Intel 2011 CPU’s
    EVGA GTX680 Hydro Copper GPU’s
    Memory – TBA
    SSD’s - TBA
    Coolermaster 1300w Silent Pro Hybrid PSU

    Here we go again..
    Paul, I'we allways loved your work before, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to love this again, rather envious of your constant hardware porn, I feel like my old C2D is sooo old now :(

    The watercooled Cosmos build was jaw-dropping. This is very exciting indeed.

    Still waiting on a few parts to arrive so decided to crack out the laser guided fret saw and make a new bezel for the reservoir complete with the EVGA X logo that will be back lit so the red edges glow.

    Started by sticking some red 3mm plexi to an offcut of 1.5mm aluminium then applying the X template which is split down the middle so actually made things a little easier.

    Anyway, cut both of the X bits out followed by a bit of filing and sanding the edges then moved on to a bit of 5mm gloss black plexi that will fit into the entire drive bay section of the Cosmos II – marked a rectangle and cut that out......bit more filing and sanding the edges and that’s about it really – sorry it wasn’t a bit more interesting.

    Oh yeah, one of the GTX680 Hydro Copper Cards also tuned up which look really nice and just waiting on the other to arrive:)

    Cool. A new project.:D I just noticed you use a jewelers saw. That explains a lot. I thought you were using a normal woodworking coping saw. I couldn't figure out how you did all the insane detail cutting.:lol:
