Introduction Vermillion - "is an opaque orangish red pigment". I wasn't really in the market for a Cosmos S until I was confronted about this one. For only $65! I couldn't pass it up, and its great for the internal WCing setup I've been planning. Easy to take to the LANs to. On with the log then. No new actual hardware though, same old rig in a new case. The case Picked this bad boy up for only $65 Plan to replace the acrylic.. Loop Swiftech MCR320-QP PrimoChill PrimoFlex Tubing - Black EK-MultiOption Res 150 XSPC pump top MCP350 pump Kolance CPU340 EK 3/8" ID barbs on everything Plans(I'm not strictly following this, expect some surprises!) Powdercoat case Semi Gloss Black with Red/Orange(Vermillion!) accents Cut top fan grills Black acrylic with EVGA logo etched covering the toolest 5.25 bays Uni-sleeve PSU black/red/white Replace window acrylic with slightly tinted black Cut cable management, hide original holes. Other various stuff that your sure to see Have fun! I'm seriously open to any suggestion you may have. I'm not a very creative person so maybe someone can help me out.
First Update: Added switches for cold cathodes, I know they're not even but they will be hid behind the acrylic going there. Cut Top/rear fan grills. Assembled my loop to see if everything was correct! All the pictures are pretty self explanatory. Went to mount the block and found out that it would not fit on the UD3P at all. Had to take it to the grinder.. This is my first time ever watercooling, installation was a breeze. Not one leak! Still trying to bleed it atm.. Expect more updates soon! Powdercoating sometime nextweek.
Thanks buddy! Good to know. Thanks! Thank you! Loving it so far. I need to reseat the block though, got all moved around when I was trying to figure out what needed cut off of it.
Nice loop looking good,Thinking of water cooling my new build but gonna leave that side of the build to the experts dont want it fubared due to my lack of water cooling skills
Nice to see the Cosmos still being modded, seems like most people go for a HAF or 800D nowadays. I need to get a few more parts then I'll be tearing mine down for water, hopefully soon
Sounds good! The HAF and 800D are SO common now. My friend just got a 800D, yes its impressive but there isn't much it needs modded. More or less some customization, not actual modding in my eyes. -- Nothing new really. Youtube video.
Here is the design I've cooked up for the acrylic that goes in the side of the 5.25 bays. It will be black vinyl. I'm probably going to use red LEDs to backlight it. Think it looks good? Should I get rid of the nvidia claw? I'll be using a plot cutter just like Maxishine does here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RajdTJA5wY
