[Tower Mod] My Precious Cosmos S

[MaTr1x]

Hi,

Here I'll show you a Cosmos S casemod where I'm going to spray paint the case in two colors. This is the first time I spray paint a case so bear with me. I'm going for a red with matte black combo. I also want to change the standard side panel to one with a window.

The hardware I will be using:

Case: Cooler Master Cosmos S

Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth Sabertooth Z77

CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K

VGA: MSI GTX 680 Lightning

RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C7R

PSU: Zalman ZM750-HP

CPU Cooling: Corsair Hydro Series H100

Fans 1: 4x Enermax UCTVD12A

Fans 2: 5x 120mm be quiet! Silent Wings USC

Fancontroller: NZXT Sentry Mesh

Here's the disassembled case looking like a mess:

The guts of the case with the spray cans I will be using:

A sanded handle bar, before and after:

All four handle bars sanded:

Spray painted (with red primer) the four handle bars including the two front panels, hanging out to dry:

Another thin layer of red primer:

First layer of red primer on the frame, still needs some work:

First layer of matte black on the handle bars:

Frame after a few thin layers of red coat. Also still needs some work:

Wet-sanding the plastic top panel and side panels:

Finished (need better pics):

 

 

 

 

In the mean time I changed the VGA's on the picture for the GTX 680 and I removed the power bracket with molex and fan connecters and the blue leds on the bottom. But no new pics yet!

I also did my keyboard in the same colors in camo:
