Case Mod - In Progress Project: Cosmos-Skulltrail - MOTM June 08

Looks SO good up front with all the panels installed. I have to agree with Mankz on the drive bay quick releases - they go nicely and as I said before, they match the PCI-E slots on the motherboard and tie in quite well IMO.

Once again - amazing. breathtaking. beautiful.

 

Can i have it... PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE!!!

 

they DO go nicely with the PCI-E slots....if the slots are not occupied by those HUGE 9800GX2's...which is quite impossible to happen under showcase/working conditions. no offence...just expressing my opinion

And the ZOTAC matched sooo seemlessly with the cut outs....like they just slip right into it...no KY's used!!!lol
another respect to excellent craftmanship

 

Loving the ZOTAC logo, dude.

 

Agreed

 

Mate serious awesomeness.

 

that little bit of mesh just bellow the ZOTAC plate, rip it out and stick a slim DVD drive in there!

 

Yeh i think the same.

 

It looks like the radiator and fans extend half way up the Zotac plate. Without moving those, it's not likely that anything will fit in that half-height bay, except for some I/O ports or LEDs.

 

Spot on Abyss

I was just going through the hose routing in my head and it soon became apparent that it just wasn't going to work with the barb position on the Aquagate's so decided to make a new back plate and mount the inlet barb on the other side which will make hose routing much easier..........once the hose goes in you will see more clearly but just thought i'd post how it looks as it fills all the gaps for the fans etc and basically looks a lot cleaner.

Just got to do the other one now!


looking at the pictures the outlet is bottom left and inlet is top right

 

That does look better, really cool.

 

Awesome. It's better than the factory setup

 

nice mod!
i like the lighting name in the front a lot

 

Excellent job, as always Coolmiester! Been a fan for ages, and this mod increases that feeling. Congrats on MotM!

 

My opinion on those blue drive bay things: get them in the same chrome accent as the rest of the system.
I wish I had the time and money (and skills...) you have, this mod is very clean. I'd love to see the end result, so keep going

 

Too Good to be true!
Good luck and gj

 

I'd planned on going orange and purple for the two loops but orange UV dye is such a hard one to get right its becoming a real pita even with the help of Rob at watercooling chucking me practically every known orange UV dye known to man over i still can't seem to get it right.......

Anyway, my troubles might have accidentally been taken care of while looking at Fan controllers.

I came across the Sythe Kaze Master 5.25inch Fan Controller which i thought a couple of them could be modded into looking like the front blank plates given their use of one way black plexi fronts

So anyway i added the silver hex bolts to the front of them and got them mounted which fit in absolutely perfect.

Although the pictures don't show the true colours, the fan speed digits are in bright green and the temperature reading is bright blue so i think that's going to be carried through into the two water loops which will make my life a whole lot easier.

Anyway enough talk and on with some pictures......

 

COOL!

So, whats happening to the second res?

 

Those fan controllers fit in perfectly. Those Scythe ones are the best I have seen to date.

 

You took the words out of my mouth. I love those Scythe units, I can't wait to get one for my 900. They look great
