skullen Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 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.

skullen Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 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.

footman Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I will take my haf-x to pieces. I always fancied a chrome finish, this will be my next mod. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
