Cosmos S slow build

[skullen]

This will be a bit of a slow build so please be pateint with me.

My Cosmos wil be having a bit of a refresh ( few pics in Rig gallery )

I have started on a few bits for the inside panels as i will be hiding as much as poss.

Panels will be a mix of acrylic and alulinium,when they are done they will be covered in white carbon fibre vinyl.

Floor panel started,this bit has been taped for M4 allen head bolts so i can still get to the cables under the floor.

Top and bottom together last bit of drilling

Next panel is to cover the side of the bays,this has also been taped for M4 bolts so i can get to the bays if neaded and also three grills.

Still needs a bit of work on them

My plan for the inside before and after

Front will also have a peice of acrylic on the front with a grill

My cd/rom will be covered with a faceplate so i have added a switch to it so i might fit the switch on the front of the acrlic

This to cover the front

Some bits i have,Aquatube and cd cover

Some other bits i have,still waiting for some so i wil post some more when i get them

Aquaero will have the black faceplate,have loads of fittings to play withand i will be using 10mm plastic clear tubing and some nice SLI fittings.

Thats where i am at the mo please be pateint with me i will get there.

Thanks for looking

Thanks for the replys,much appreciated

Pic of my fittings i have to play with

Me being a bit of a noob i ordered some 10mm clear tube thinking it wil fit my SLI fittings but they dont.

Bitspower tube is a bit pricey so ive ordered some 12mm and 13 mm clear tube to see if they will do the job.

If not will have to save some pennies and get the bitspower ones.

Thanks for looking

Small update,covered some panels in carbon fibre white vinyl.

Not the best i know but they will do.

Floor panel and side done and covered

This panel is for the front of the bays where the res will sit on,still a few bits to do to this panel,sorry bad pic crap phone

Stuck side panel in for a test fit

Still got some more work on panels to do and other bits.

No pics of new gear as im still waiting for them.

This has some good potential

Thanks for the reply,much appreciated

Small update not much im afraid.

New face plate on my Aquaero

Also got a power adjust face plate but wont be using the modules you can get for these.

Carefully drilled the three holes on the front a bit bigger for three 3mm red leds

Got an old zalman fan controller and took some bits off

Controller fitted to the back of the unit,the leds will run off this.

Couple of pics of the units together

Thats where i am at the mo soon be time to strip the case for a rebuild.

Thanks for looking.

[skullen]

Thanks for the reply,much appreciated

Another small update,had a play with my new toys fittings and some tube,sorry crap pics crap phone.

Sorted the front panel out with fans and grills,its not that good as it goes some of the cuts are very poor but it will have to do

Stuck it in the front of the case for a test fit,not brill but it will do

Also got one of these to play with,never used a card before so this should be fun sorting it out with the tube and fittings.

Thanks for looking.

Looks good m8. The frontside and the side acrylic looks top notch. Also many nice parts you got there

 

[skullen]

Thanks for the reply,its much appreciated.

I did say it would be a slow build.

Wired up the controller with the Led,s and the front grill.

Top grill cut in the acrylic is poor but it will have to do.

It works so thats a bonus.

Thanks for looking.

[yassarikhan786]

Looking good so far, What hardware are you going to use? Or are you undecided?

 

[skullen]

Thanks for the replys,its very much appreciated.

Hardware wont be much as im a tight old git,Asus board AMD Dual core 5000+ on board graphics (which im using now) but will be using a card for the first time.

 

[skullen]

Well its up and running but i could have done a better job on a few things.

Some pics

Temps are good so thats a bonus.

Thanks for looking

 

[frufsa]

the angle on looks a bit to sharp

but othervice great job

 

[Azurite]

Looks great. Only - is the ramcooler, id remove that one. Is it DDR2 sticks? Its good if you could write down your specs in the signature

Some white leds in there would be fantastic. Are you using a windowed sidepanel aswell?
