what are you cooling all that with? Was it going to be the radbox that's painted green on the inside (as seen previously), I seemed to have missed that if it was mentioned already.

My only, only criticism is with the blue knob thingy's on the inside. While this case overall is mind blowing and attention to detail is absolute perfection, I feel that the blue knobs detract from the case itself, and don't match the color scheme. Just my $.02

Personally i didn't think the blue quick release buttons looked too bad but your not the first to mention the colour so i'll see what can be done

As for cooling, i'm running dual loop both powered by heavily modded Coolermaster Aquagate Max's....

[BentAnat]

That is SO hot right now... GREAT work so far, man.

[tominated]

looks so good, but i think you should put indents across the middle of the metal on the aquagates so it blends in with the indent that separates each drive bay.

Couldnt agree more...its a major pain-in-the-@$$ everytime i see the flat surface of my DVD-roms ruining the overall flow of the indent on my cosmos S as well.
since you have went this far for this mod please dont overlook this detail as well....keep up the good work

Akk, to late but i wish i had

I've been in touch with Coolermaster and they are going to do there best to get me a set of Black quick release buttons over so fingers crossed on that one.

Anyway, i wanted to make all the front bezels easily removable (well apart from the Aquagate ones as they are part of the actual units) so i chopped up the original Cosmos bezels and after a bit of filing / sanding, stuck the little end bits on with Devcon Plastic Steel Putty which worked out pretty well and amazingly they all line up give the front end exactly what i was looking for so i'm happy with the outcome.

Still have to get the plexi and lighting in for the Zotac logo.....

Looks amazing Paul. I actually quite like the Blue drive handles.

Also, congrats on finally winning MotM.

[Timmy_the_tortoise]

Very nicely done.

I gotta agree about the blue drive handles... They kinda look like water bottles stuck in your drive bays for whatever reason.. Doesn't look right.

It's all coming together very nicely though. Excellent job!

[p3ri0d]

wow, wow, wow
Great job dude

and congratz ^^

LOL, there ain't one - not really needed for a show case but once it gets back and i start using it on a day to day basis i will probably add one or just use an exturnal one.

Well spotted though

[TheAbyssDragon]

You seem to have lost an Aquagate somewhere. What happened to the third?

[Archtronics]

Just a little insight theres a small bit of grill at the bottem under zotac that you mite be able to hide a slimline drive under?

[steelkane]

It's your mod, everything looks fine,, you could never please everyone, that's why they can go mod one the way they like. but then again opinions are always a good thing too.

[coolmiester]

Hey cheers for following the show and my apologies for not responding to each individual post every time even though i take all on board and appreciate every one but i'd rather wait till i have a valid update to justify the post instead of a load of "thank you" posts to falsely keep the thread alive imo.

Anyway, best get one of the sponsors names up in lights as they donated a couple of GX2's

Its not the finished article but got a couple of clear LED's behind the Zotac bezel just to see how it looked with the plexi in place which i hope they are happy with.....

[haakon.t]

When you think it can't get any better, Coolmiester strikes again! And this time he brought LEDs Seriously impressed by this one, keep it up

[ComputerKing]

[Colossous]

[icutebluezone]
