Case Mod - In Progress Acid Veins - Cosmos S (Water Cooled, Dual Loop)

Looking good. That Blacks come out well on the chassis. But laying out those rivets looks like a real OCD moment to me...lol

 

Looking good! ive got a cosmos S also, big sexy case i love it!

i was looking to replace the side with a perspex window to some point in the future, what thickness did you use?

 

I used 3mm on my stacker.

 

Wow...this is awesome work. I really like the holes made for the 24/8/6 pins. Seems like a lot of work. Keep going.

 

Yeah i was liking this idea too! i dont think the original cable management in a cosmos is that good.

 

I used 3mm like bulldogjeff, and it is really easy to do, worst was cutting it took me 30min (I was using regural saw to metal) then 4 holes, 4 washers & 4 screws - finito.

I agree, the holes are too far from mobo & GFX.


Small update, new home for HDDs:









I had to do 4 extra holes, to fit it to 5.25 bays:










Now fits perfect:



Some cable menagment on back tray:

 

*Continued from last comment: And better and better!

 

I really like the way you've shortened the power cables going to the hard drives. That looks well cool...+ rep

 

Thanks guys.
Mobo armed and ready to fight:























Guys I need yellow coolant UV, but it need to be really yellow (something like yellow slots on mobo), not acid green/yellow. I've tried Mayhems Dye Yellow / UV Bright Green and Yellow but I cannot get color I want.

 

Frozen Cpu have acid green. Other than that I found this. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6...-_UV_Yellow_F1-0004.html?tl=g30c103s184#blank

After that all I can suggest is pee in it

 

Love the build. Keep up the Amazing, Flawless, Outstanding work.

 

very nice

 

If I won't find color I want I will do it .

Thank You guys.

Project finished in 95 %, some pictures from outside:




























Later on I will try to show You some pictures from inside case & how I manged cables.

There is still couple things to do:
1. cover bays for Lamptro Fan controllers;
2. cover bay for DVD;
3. add colours to thermochill
4. mount UV cathode
5. mount led for pump top & reservoir
6. paint grey outside plastic
7. backplate for 9600GT

 

Pretty slick build man, love it.

Look at the beautiful things OCD can make lol!!

 

OMG...

That cable management is just insane! Never seen individual holes for each cable before, that is just amazing!

I'm not a "green" fan, but this... Just gotta love it!

 

Great work

 

nice and clean

love that

 

Kick-ass job, keep watch for updates =)

And few questions: Do you cleaned out the body handles before painting?
You used mdpc sleeving?

 

I done it coz cable menagment in CM Cosmos S isn't to good.

1. I just remove some dust coz case wasn't new.
2. I used sleeving from "www.ChilledPC.co.uk", MDPC sleeving would look much better, next time I will order package from Nils.


Few shots from inside, enjoy:

 

Phenomenal work there so far, the case looks amazing.


On the subject of UV Yellow Coolant have you tried Nanoxia Hyperzero ReadyFluid - UV Yellow?
I haven't tried the yellow yet, but I've used both red and pink from them and the colour has been perfect... very strong and bright.

Or you could check out Phobya ZuperZero UV Yellow, sometimes that one has a bit of a green tint to it though. Most of the time it's a nice yellow.
