Case Mod - In Progress Cooler Master Cosmos II MbK...Final pics!!!

I would rather say like this:
-I hate you Richard !
I had the exactly same idea for the top and the bottom chamber(almost) but with an tripple rad-guard instead ;D
Keep on the good work mate and good luck !

 

Kier, I am very pleased to see your efforts.

Are you going to do a window?
Seeing as there isnt one, and most people want to actually see their nifty/expensive stuff inside, you should do an uber window.
Like maybe a window that is double paned so that the liquid cooling can go through it....and in the window you could have your sponsors or some feature for the liquid to pass around/over....oh and quick disconnects so the door can still be removed.

Either way...I am thrilled to see you hadeling this case.
Cheers.

 

Subbed!!

Based on your previous work this is going to be an amazing mod!

Looking at this case more and more and thinking of getting one myself as it look's like it could, hold a Quad 120mm rad at the top and 1 in the bottom with a Dual 120mm rad as well.

Still trying to decide what case to use for my next build, but it need's plenty of space for all the rad's I want.

Anyway will be keeping an eye on this.

 

Update: The front

These last few days i've continued with the appearance of the case. I want the front to turn black / white. So I have sawn a piece 3mm black acrylic, the same pattern as the white plate. Only now with the recesses 5mm smaller.









White plate on it



I like the looks of it. Also have now some great air in/ outlets, finishing of this part later

I previously mentioned that the controller is coming in the upper 5.25 compartment togheter with the I/O stuff, all of this in the black and white theme

So marked a 5mm white acrylic piece





To keep everything in place there is coming a piece of black acrylic behind it with recesses for the controller and I/O stuff







Witch is placed like this



To get a nice contrast around the controller, I've cut and filed a edge of 3mm black acrylic



And also made two black strips cut for the I/O stuff









And placed in the Cosmos







For the lower I/O section cut rectangles and circles for the USB and audio



And after some carefully filing



Top I / O section also done, and put everything in it for the looks





Above the Cosmos controller is still a big white surface, this seems to me a nice place to put a display.
For this the perfect display: The Aquaero 5 XT. So ordered and received





Hmm that's a unpleasant surprise, the controller with touch buttons isn't black anymore (like the older version) but Aqua Computer has replaced / filled this with stainless steel buttons.







Itself is looking very nice with the new buttons... but not for this build. So first i'm going to try to get an "older" version. Until I know more I will stop working out the display.

That's it my modding friends

 

Ah wow, I love the treatment you did on the front there. I'm still mulling around where all my connectors are going to go back into my mod. This is noteworthy

 

Wow.. just.. wow O.O

 

That front is really awesome, suits the case really well

 

love the contrast look

 

Update

Just a small update about the cover at the right bottom.
First idea was to make this cover with a angle just like the other side, but a change of plans.
This is now becoming a straight cover, but with 2 HDD attached to it. The place for the HDD's was a bit limited because I removed the HDD cages and almost all the space is occupied by the water cooling products





So this is a nice solution. There will also be a SSD, but this is placed on the side of the 5.25 bay

For the cover I sawn a piece aluminum and marked it



Bent it



Cut out the Fanholes again





And drilled the holes for the HDDs. Of course I will make some adjustments for noise reduction



All placed like this





Also made the recess for the cables

 

Looking good Kier!

 

looking very nice =)

i want to get sponsored by cooler master for a Cosmos 2 Got loads of ideas floating around !

 

So there's enough space in the bottom chamber to mount drives vertically? -friggen HUGE, man! Brilliant placement, BTW.

 

Your just:

**** YEA xD


Great job, will follow it for sure

 

Just a small addition

I've covered the two plates with black vinyl, which gives the same black color as the rest of the case








And placed them







Pics with the white front

 

Good job. Now,please MOAR.

 

That looks OSM!
Subbed without a doubt.

 

Looking Good! More updates please!

 

Update!!!

I would like to welcome a great sponsor for this build, the shop that has everything .... IT-Service.be



IT- service/ Eddy Thanks for the nice discounts.

For this build I purchased a nice new mobo: The Asus SABERTOOTH X79

Really a great motherboard, here some pics:



Some standard stuff



And the motherboard























Placed right away in the cosmos



So the Sabertooth, really is a beautiful mobo

I also bought some beautiful rams to fill up the sabertooth, 3 x the Corsair 4 GB DDR3-1600 Kit













I will place EK ram coolers on these.
En last but not least, the white Xigmatek XOF-F1251 fans, which fit perfectly with this build





Placed on top





360 rad fits





In the last update I had shown you the white midplate, Ive adjusted it a bit for 2 pumps



Which will be placed like this





Received approval from my great friend





And also cut a white acrylic plate for the mobo tray







Beneath and beside the motherboard I have a lot of space, this will be filled up
I would like the same line as the EK tops, and I want a nice light distribution in terms of the illuminated midplate. For this I am going to raise the midplate about 4 cm, for this I have sawn and bent an aluminum strip cut









Behind it I placed 2 CFL lights, and we have an illuminated midplate







For an even better light distribution I will do some adjustments, but more on this later.
I've made a bracket for the rad



I still need to make the top bracket but this I will do later



Enough room for the fittings



And here the radiator with fans







Applied a layer vinyl coating to the strip





Looking good I think





Grtzzz

 

Holy crap O.O

 

Love your fans m8!

Keep going your good work ;D
