We had guests up all weekend that just wanted to drink and drink..........which don't make them bad people in my book and i participate best i could but all i really wanted to do was sit and admire how well the case is looking.

Chrome vents match the chrome Cosmos rails like perfect - let me get the paint machine polished tomorrow and i'll try and get some better pictures...

In keeping with the black / chrome theme and thanks to Eddy i got a couple of Nickel-Plated EK-FC9800 GX2 SLI Blocks expressed over and set about getting them fitted.

Took about 2 hours in total but time flies when your enjoying yourself - they do look a bit naked without the covers on so after a little trimming i re-used the covers though i'll have to find some way of fixing them properly because there nothing to actually fix them to but i'm sure i'll find a way.

Also had the front bezels anodised (cheers Tom) but they were to dull so had them painted and clear coated which looks much better and got the Aquagate ones fitted though the it was starting to get dark out and the pictures aren't the best but you get the idea.

Oh yeah, the board with all blocks added now weighs in at a staggering 6670g

Amazing! Keep going!

Taken all of the above on board about the SB being covered by the cards i had to make some serious decisions.

The dilemma has always been that in order to run Skulltrail with two GX2's in a Cosmos they have to use the top two PCi slots due to the PSU location directly below. (see here)

The good news was the reply from Intel that its fine to use the top two PCi slots - the bad news is that in order to do so i would have to remove the card covers so as not to obscure the SB fan too much.

There was no way around it so not much point in dwelling on the "what ifs" so took the covers back off the cards and got them mounted and tbh i'm quite liking being able to see all of the blocks and running the hose through the cards is looking a strong possibility and should look pretty cool if i can pull it off.

Just did a quick bit of hose routing to show how this would look....

Anyone see anything i don't because you start to become blind to the obvious but i think im good to go with that.

Looks sick duder
The only thing that sticks out to me (just a personal thing) is the blue plastic on the 5.25" bays as everything elde is black and chrome - i'd maybe paint them black but thats just a personal thing !!

Gotcha

I'll see how it looks once the liquid goes in because it does look a bit bare as is but may look a bit more colourfull once the dual loops get filled.

Orange for the Zotac loop and Purple for the Intel loop......thats plan a] anyway

Amazing build, top notch quality and attention to details.
I would recommend you to use this T line :

in my opinion looks better than the that bulky derlin one you used

**taowulf** · 07-15-2008, 06:55 AM

Beautiful work as always, your Stacker builds have inspired me (but not yet enough to finish mine, heh) and your Cosmos builds make a case I originally thought ugly a work of art.

**coolmiester** · 07-15-2008, 08:12 AM

Right, i think i can move on now and finally put the GFX card issue to bed

Well, one last thing........just made some nice little spacers to replace the plastic ones that kept popping out and now keep the cards much more stable and parallel

**rafwlkp** · 07-15-2008, 09:11 AM

omg... I cant speak, it's sick ! In positive sense ofc

**Asgard_thor** · 07-15-2008, 09:52 AM

P.S. get that stock CM fan out of there

Well seeing as he's sponsored by coolermaster, unless they have a better alternative, it's probably gonna stay.

Back on topic, why purple for the intel loop? Why not blue, that way it matches with their color scheme as well as the bay locks

**Aphex_Tom_9** · 07-15-2008, 12:31 PM

that looks so diesel. can't wait to see how it performs...

**Dangals** · 07-15-2008, 01:00 PM

Looks great - can't wait to see it up and running!!

**Arni** · 07-15-2008, 01:44 PM
