Case Mod - In Progress [MNPCTech] Project: Rebel Alliance CMII

Is it me, or does the paint job on the fan look a bit purple?

Great job so far though. I can't wait to see those custom waterblocks in place.

 

Definitely has a purple tinge. Although they look redder in post 90. Looks great though overall!

 

@RetroDude, very maroon... same paint mix we used for designs on the exterior of the case, theres a clip in the video I'm posting..

@Da Vinci, Mnpctech mills are tied up with retail commitments, so I'm looking for local shop to make the blocks and was quoted $5,500 to make all four .... search continues

@Austin, you would be proud, Jesse and I both bought old XPS cases at Modders Meet last night... Mosquito told me late June would be good for future meet, I'm thinking Grill Out with Beer and games projected on warehouse walls outdoors.

Part 3 highlights

 

EEEK! update! Just what i wanted to see!

 

Haha! Thank you for silicon...

We're working on the front intake shroud design, and will share update soon!

 

An Update on things...

I sent our files for the four water blocks to another shop for Quote, I don't know if you heard recent Mod Zoo Podcast, but I mentioned in Opening, last quote we got for four 680 GTX Classified custom water block assemblies was $5,500...Higher than we expected, but Mnpctech can't make the blocks, since the machines are tied to retail part commitments.... As it stands, if this other shop's Quote is too much, Andrew is considering selling off his four 680 GTX classifieds for $550 apiece, shipped....He will purchase different video cards and use retail blocks, most likely from EK.

Cheaps has offered to make the acrylic covers, so that will help us greatly...

 

Have you tried this side of the pond, Bill? Maybe get someone to organise getting them shipped back to you?

Nice progress, guys. This thing looks awesome!

 

Hey Krunch, We've got gap between production runs coming up and Cheaps offered to make the acrylic covers, so looks like we'll be back on track soon! crossing fingers

 

Roboduck offered his help in rendering the front intake shroud for the Cosmos II. Thanks again buddy!

 

Ah, I totally forgot you wanted a sprocket grill. Thank God for Duck!

-Pity he wasn't an Empire fan. He could have used the logo.

 

very true, but this design turned out slick..

 

Fingers crossed! I think this is turning in my favourite case mod, I love the paint

 

Thank you Krunch!

Here is what the Clear side panel looks like installed on the Cosmos II. It's cnc machined from .5" thick Chemcast Cast Acrylic with two 120mm fan holes with fastener holes for your own fan grills.

FrozenCPU is offering Cosmos II Clear Side Panel that was made by Mnpctech

 

Why not mod these instead?
Save you monies and irritation.

 

I believe it's a stock issue... they can't find any anywhere.

 

Yeah. he's even talked to EVGA directly if I remember correctly. No blocks.

 

Yes, I spoke directly with EVGA, even offered to buy and fix any RMAs they had... No dice

 

video screen shot, of the backside of front bezel being milled, we're in the shop right now... I'll have better pics posted soon..

Are you going to inlay the front panel with some colour in the grooves?

 

Ah, not so much a grill as a fan cover.
