    Hello Again :)


    I had not planed on doing a second build for the world series but I still have time for something small. I have been thinking about doing a small form build for some time

    and i've been wanting to do a white build as well, so for this build im looking at doing a build in white and making it slim.


    I Will be using a Master Case Maker 5 and a Cosmos SE

    De-construccion have begun, lots of cutting still to go to get that "SLIM" look and the MIG waiting to put it all back together again.

    Quick layout of parts from both cases.

    And a way to put it all back together again, Oh what fun this will be!

    Some steel may be injured in this process :thumb:

    Hello again.


    Case frame has new been cut down and welded back together, The case is now a 165mm wide, from 240mm wide.

    Now with just enough width for the PSU and motherboard.

    Are you using the Cosmos shell or the Master case?

    I prefer the Cosmos. Still like that case :)

    Update on the thinner CM build. So Far what i'm doing is im trying to reuse as many parts as I can from both cases. The MoBo tray has been centered in the case to have even room on both sides,

    The back side being for the cooling and cabling, Giving me 80mm at the back and 80mm on the MoBo side and a 160mm all up. More then enough space to get things done.

    Update on the Thinner build, Case frame is now reshaped. The back of the case now has room for 2x360 rads for the cooling the GPU & CPU. And inside sits the MaterWatt Maker 1200 PSU. Still lots more to come and still lots more to do.

    Time again to show some pic's.

    From one case to the next I have used the rear GPU mount from the Cosmos SE cut it out reshaped it to fit in the top of the frame to hold the GPU in place. Plus one new clear and black printed GPU logo, For some back light RBG.

    I do love seeing people do this to cases, it's a lot of fun to try out. Wide cases are great for ease of building, but when you don't necessarily need it, you can get some awesome looks by going thin. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the GotG covers, but that's your theme so won't be intruding on that haha.

    Love how the look has changed so much by removing those extra mms.

    Hi, The color I picked for the build is Harlequin. That will have the same colors as the guardians of the galaxy theme. It still needs to be clear coated as well.
