    Definitely looking good. Can you describe more how you carved out the beveled top on the pump top? I can see how you aligned the scalloped edges, but am wondering how you managed to do it so evenly/exactly.

    thx m8´s :rock:

    @Modminded we made those carvings with our good ol Belt Sander (@ the front part of the sander....it has a smooth round surface which can be used to make such things)

    Today the most important Part arrives.....the CPU

    So a big Thank you goes out to the People @ AMD for their support over the last years!!!

    They send us this little Package...which includes a complete Phenom II X4 940 Platform which was handpicked special for us:rock::rock::thumb::thumb::thumb:

    beside that we finished the pump and the cpu cooler (both with new fittings + painted pump base)

    thx :thumb:

    @slisgrinder....yeah its approx. 5 mm thick carbon fibre

    Yesterday a big box with input devices arrives so that the cosmos now has nearly all parts together. For their support we would like to send a big Thank you out to the People at OCZ!!

    They really helps us a lot with these parts because the cebit comes closer and closer and the cosmos will be exhibited there...so not much time left....

    Today we tested the NIA´s for the first time and had a lot of fun with them :thumb::thumb:


    Beside that we did a lot of cable routing, polishing, and putting parts back together.....but here are a few shots:

    I like the little spike on the waterblock screws too. I might steal that idea.

    I love the water cooling mods.

    I love the idea of side panels with spiking LEDs.

    I love the patience and workmanship of the modder(s).

    Unfortunately, IMHO, it too heavily modded up and too much for my liking. IMHO, if this case were to be moderately done up, it would really be awesome. But sometimes, it becomes overdone, it loses it appeal.

    But then again, maybe its just my weird perception.

    Anyway, really excellent workmanship on the plexi.
