Cosmos S

[skullen]

Hi all,there are a lot of awesome builds here.

My next build will be a Cosmos S nothing to posh just a bit of work here and there.

Keeping cost down a bit i will be using some bits from my last build (white lian li 343b) and some new bits and yes im a tight old git.

I like the colour of the case so will be keeping the grey with some white thrown in maybe another colour but not sure yet.

First bit was to spray the mesh bits white

I borrowed this idea from someone this will save me a few bob

Swapped both panels and sprayed the mesh white

Tapped and ready to cut,not to big of a window just enough to show me bits

I got some alu panels for the inside cut to size just needs to be worked on a bit

The peice with the red bit round it is a peice of 50mm x25mm angle,reason for this is it gives me an extra 50mm to work with behind the cover for hiding wires and adding a 120mm fan

Rear panel with fan and grill just test fitting

Added fan and pump stand,will be using a tank res

Not sure about the front yet so i got some more aluminium and stuck a grill on,if i go with this the grill alu and mesh will be painted

Two other ideas for the front

Black panel with white mesh

White panel with black mesh

Thats where i am at the mo.

Thanks for looking

Few more pics

Stuck a couple of blue fans in for now might go with these or i have some white ones coming.

Got some EC6 blue fluid so i will have a play with both sets of fans to see what looks better and hope to light up the fluid.

Thanks for looking.

Looks very nice what kind of spray paint are you using for this project? I have had mixed luck painting cases over the years. Your white looks pretty smooth. Did you prime first? I'd be concerned about the paint flaking off those smooth handles, unless you sanded them down first.....

Perhaps you can link the paint you are using.

Cheers.

No worries, looks like you got a nice finish from this paint. I believe I will take my haf-x to pieces. I always fancied a chrome finish, this will be my next mod.

Cheers,
