Case Mod - In Progress StarCraft II: Protoss [CM Cosmos] - Nearly completed

oh snap! Nice job

 

Now that are some daring colors

 

That looks really nice - a great, simple mod so far. Lovely.

 

That blue is awesome , when you paint do you just use cans?

 

Yes, I use regular 400ml spray cans from Motip. The entire frame was painted using just one can of metallic blue/purple.

 

Mesh for the top panel, cut to size using ordinary scissors.


Mockup with DD Fillport.


Sprayed the mesh and cut a hole in the plastic panel for the fillport.

 

Liking the mesh dude, are you going to be spraying the mesh in the side pael window the same colour ?

 

Yes

 

Sweet dude, you got idea's for the usb etc mount on top ?

 

Looks nice I really like that type of mesh. If it works without scratching the paint every time you open it, you might want to spray the bolt in your fillport yellow as well.

 

looking really good. That mesh you painted blue = awesome!

 

Nice work!

 

Front panel: black


Yellow sides...


Mesh:

 

Looking fab.

I know you love your spray-paint (and your damn good at it too by the looks of things), but you really must try power-coating once!

 

Very cool dude !

 

Varnished the front panel and sprayed the mesh blue.


I'm working on the CPU waterblock. I wanted to use a Scaro UV blue waterblock (similar to an Alphacool NexXxoS XP Bold but with UV blue acrylic). The original cover was for Socket A / Socket 939, but it was too big for my Socket A board (interference with IO ports), so I had to make a new cover. I intended to use UV blue acrylic, but I only had 5mm lying around which was too thin. Therefore I used ordinary 8mm acrylic.

Drawing...


And done.. sorry for the lack of action shots.

 

The project is now nearly completed. I still have some small things to do like wiring, gluing the mesh on the frontpanel and spraying some parts such as the window mesh and the hdd cages. The project has to be done by november 23rd. Today I did a photoshoot. All these pictures are clickable

 

Hmmm looks very clean to say that from the beginning, but i have expected a bit more. Imean you didnt had much time, but somehow i miss sth that gives me the feeling that im looking at a Computer designed and used by Protoss.
But i believe if you have had more time it would have turn out as great as your other projects.

Looks really good! But won't the mesh let a lot of dust in?

 

There will be acrylic behind it, obviously
