Mini H20 Cosmos (pic heavy)

[coolmiester]

Yeah i know the external water box has been done plenty before but just thought i'd put a different slant on things with chopping a Cosmos 1000 in half and see what happened

Its a total prototype at present and things could // will shift around a bit in terms of hardware etc but just wondered the general opinion on this type of thing.....

is it a yeah, nah or couldn't care less................all comments appreciated??

BTW, i put it alongside a real size one for comparison ;)

Nice, but you should have made it even smaller, eventhoug it might look a bit strange, but as it is now there is imo to much empty space in it.

[cegras]

I'm a bit curious as to why you put the res sideways. Now you'll be topping it off pretty often.

[Pedalmonkey]

looks great. specialy for those with cosmos. and you could probably cram a lot of stuff in there too.

[[XC] NetburstXE]

Looks great. You killed a cosmos :shakes How could you? Anyways, that looks awesome, especially alongside the real cosmos.
@cegras - I think that he put the res sideways so that it would fit. It is too long to go vertically.

[Aldy402]

dude, thats the best water box I've seen thus far
great work/idea

[karbonkid]

Very, very nice, and (excuse the pun) seamless :up:

[TheJollyFellow]

looking great as usual! :D

I agree that you could have made it a little shorter, but if you have a Cosmos, you probably aren't concerned with space constraints ;)

now, the real question...what are you going to do with the bottom half?!?! :D

[MINIz guy]

Awwwww! That is so cute!

[disruptfam]

awesome waterbox!!!! i like the red interior more so than the green

[Sparky]

How did you do that??

[dubtown]

sweet!

thats alot of case between the two

[Buckeye]

I think that looks very Sweet !

The size is just right imo., very good build !

I think a mini TJ07 would look pretty cool also :)

[Cptn Vortex]

Yeah, but who is crazy enough to cut a TJ07 in half! Hehehe

[starlon]

It would take some work to shrink a tj07. They're built strange.

[Big_Daddy]

Very nice...

[Pedalmonkey]

fore the TJ youd have to cut that alu U and the side pannels, etc. it would be hard, but very cool if done right.

[aspire.comptech]

Pretty secksy stuff

[SoulsCollective]

That is bloody awesome mate. Top stuff.

I know you said you're still working on the internals, but I'd look at switching to a RadBox to save space and fitting in some more rads in the external.

[lowfat]

OMG! That is effing SICK! I would love to see Cooler Master make something like this. Even for phase change it would be amazing.

[Deux]

OMG! That is effing SICK! I would love to see Cooler Master make something like this. Even for phase change it would be amazing.

That would be amazing. Never even crossed my mind but it is the perfect size for a SS. It would probably need slightly better ventilation but it could work.

[spoony]

I really like it and would love to have one next to my cosmos. It would open up a lot doors for cosmos owners to expand their wc systems. :clap:

[InfamousChu]

wow I love it! If i didnt have my MM duality i would have a cosmos! and would really consider one of those on the side!

[LogAn'sRun]

awesome waterbox!!!! i like the red interior more so than the green

HAHA, you took the words outta my mouth. Almost. I was thinking that green PWNS the red.

Great craftsmanship!

[rocket733]

Looks pretty awesome! Are you using the koolance high flow quick disconnects? If so how are they?

[SaiNRuB]

That is something else, nicely done coolmesiter.

Make me one for my Cosmos S? :)

[Pellepel]

that looks great! yup love the colors in the inside.

[azn_bboy07]

wow bro, gota give it up to u mang!!! looks hell sick man, love the colour!!! *Very nice, how much* (borat voice) lozl!!

[Buckeye]

Yeah, but who is crazy enough to cut a TJ07 in half! Hehehe

HAHA I would :)

[_Slim_Shady_]

Great job! That looks really cool!

[The[R]eaper]

wow! that looks great. doesnt even look like it was cut.
Lovin' the neon green inside. :up:

[NaeKuh]

Looks pretty awesome! Are you using the koolance high flow quick disconnects? If so how are they?

they suck.

very restrictive. quick disconnects i only recomend colder.

Look for my thread on the fittings as i dont want to jack CM's most excellent work!


HAHA I would :)

Cheaper to cut up a lian li V1200 :X

[XS_RoB]

:shocked:

Man that is freaking Incredible! Love the Look - Looks like it was Purchased that way!

Please oh Please point me to the build log.... if one exists.

That is :eek2: :eek2: I simply Love it........


Anyone know where I can buy some of those "MAD SKILLZ?" If I attempted this ... it would look like a can of :spam:

Again I :worship: at that External Cooler!

[coolmiester]

Thanks for all the feedback - very useful :up:

To answer a couple of questions....

The green interior powder coat was mainly for a good background colour to show hardware clearly and a matching set maybe in the pipeline.

They are Koolance Quick Connectors but as NaeKuh pointed out, they are pretty restrictive so i'm on the lookout for something a bit better - though they do look and feel nice.
I did a quick test and one of them takes a DDC with XSPC top from 13.2 LPM to 9.3LPM and if you consider that two would be used the flow will drop scarily low :eek:

The over all shape is due to a Black Ice 480GTX so shortening the case wasn’t an option............and would be extremely hard to do anyway tbh

The top IO panel and the other bit will be cut out completely and some kind of grills fitted for more airflow - likewise the back panel will have some kind of grill also.

A fan controller is yet to be fitted somewhere and i also forgot to mention there is a small hole cut on the front to adjust the D5 which may also be put onto a controller.

Anyway, going to get it hooked up over the weekend and see how it performs, even with the Koolance QC's

Thanks again for taking the time to post :up:

[chunkylover77]

Are you looking at selling these? If so I would be very interested.

[kinghong1970]

wait, so you took 2 good cases, chop-shopped one of em just to make a mini-me version of your case?

wow!

[coolmiester]

Its kinnda hard to say at this point in time but no doubt time will tell and i'll sure post here when i have something to post either way :up:

@ kinghong1970 - yeah I chopped a Cosmos 1000 in half :D

[SiGfever]

Man your work is on fire! :clap: :clap:

Looks great, just offer it with a PA120.3 and it will be perfect. :up:

[coolmiester]

Again, thanks for all the feedback :up:

Not had a lot of spare play time lately but i did manage to get it filled up and bled which only took 60 seconds or so is a step in the right direction i guess.

Just got to find a bit more time to get it hooked up to a PC and see how it performs!

[TedShred]

Why are all the dates in this thread screwy, with some posts missing? (I know I tried to verbalize my drooling just a day or two ago.)

Those new pics are killer, coolmiester!

Weird :confused:

[Xilikon]

wait, so you took 2 good cases, chop-shopped one of em just to make a mini-me version of your case?

wow!

Chopping a case in half is not a novelty... look at my worklog where I chopped a 2nd WaveMaster to extend the top of my first to house the WC radiators.

However, making a portable wc box out of a chopped case is a nice touch :up:

[coolmiester]

Oh yeah nothing real new here, in fact my good buddy Tom chopped and streched a couple of Wavemasters here (http://coolercasesuk.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=508&stc=1&d=1204672410) and here (http://coolercasesuk.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=507&stc=1&d=1204672318) after i did the Shinymaster ;)

[surrealX]

That looks sick.

[dingdong555]

looks sweet!

Good work!

[HESmelaugh]

Looks great! Wow, chopping a Cosmos in half... Very cleanly done, too.

[MaddHawk]

Very new to Xtreme Systems forums and I am already a fan of your work. I give your take on an external water cooling solution a huge YEAH!! :up::up:

[mobi2u]

I've gotta admit that is velly velly good..What a great idea...
Did you actually chop down a cosmos case to reach the right height for the water box?
How did you join the case parts you cut to lower the height?
Looks like it just magically shrunk!

[Pedalmonkey]

seems to me u could fit a bit more in that case in terms of rads, etc but thats just me.

[ILikeCosmosS]

use these koolance vl4 http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=786
they are even bigger diameter

[Grnfinger]

Your mod is top shelf :up:

[Hens]

so much space to add another loop.... or another rad to the lopp. hehe.

I reckon, get rid of the top i/o port and mount a fan controller flush. Or a lcd fan controller/coolant temp measuring device.

and hide that wiring :D

eitherway, love your work!
