i know how you feel man. im sick of set backs also.

[xguntherc]

Oh, thats depressing Man.. I'm very sorry.. hey question, are all yours wires under the Mobo.. it's ok to run them all that way? if so I'll be doing that when I install in my new case.

I currently have a few WC parts on the way, as well as a HAF that should be here on Wednesday. I'm going to probably paint the inside of it Black, as I did on my CM 690. I don't think I'd enjoy the ugly aluminum color inside. The HAF has all red LEDs, if I paint inside red it would just be to much red. So I'm thinking I'll paint it Black, but I like Matte black. Not shiny. Either way, both of yours cases looked just stunning, you have some better paint skills than I do.

Now I have to decide what color to add into my loop, I think red will look cool on the black with the red lights, but that might make to much red also. as I'm more of a Blue fan like my CM 690.

Enjoy your new 1000.. and sorry to hear about the others Death man. Keep up the good work.

well i decided to give up on the 1000 and buy another S. every single wire that goes to the mobo is pulled from the back. all you have to do is cut a few holes. i think the wires probably transfer some heat to the mobo, but it cant be much.
im planning on red leds aswell. murdered out flat black, with red leds and blood red for the loop. i havent officially decided on blood red, toy red also looks good. anyway, good luck with your build gunther.

Good to hear you have a new plan it would have been gutting to have finished the 1000 and not to have been truly happy with it - not sure about the triple rad install either. I guess you can use the painted interior from the first one ??

[sabermetrics]

Agreed, loved the modding so far until the accident...

Can't wait to see more!

[NameTaken45]

yeah, i think i will rob. since the holes are already cut in the back of the motherboard. its gonna look murdered out. it should be here tuesday or wednesday.

I am building a similar setup, do you think you could fit a 120x20mm fan in the top of the cosmos S?

[NameTaken45]

hi ZX, yes ive fit the 120x25 fans on the top. i got the cosmos in today, painted it murdered out black. also got my XONAR D2 sound card, Zalman 1000W PSU and 6 red led yate loons. will post pics later today.

Great build so far!

[NameTaken45]

i was looking at the beginning where the case is blue, i instantly thought of super man lol, best of luck

[ZX2Slow]

How did you get the cover over the fans, I couldn't get it to slide all the way forward.

[NameTaken45]

im not sure? are you pressing on it hard enough? while pushing forward?

[RomDominance]

Cloaked and holding position in orbit,....ever feel like your being followed?

[Bertross]

my gf thought the blue and silver looked stupid, so i was trying to get her involved and asked her what her color i should paint it, she said red. so i spent the whole weekend sanding the whole thing and putting fresh red paint on it. she said she didnt want me painting inside anymore so i went outside and i tied a rope to each side of the wall on the back porch. the studs in the wall were questionably loose to begin with but i thought, eh itll hold. so i strung up all the pieces to the rope, to repaint them (final coat). the stud in the wall broke and it snapped one side peice in half when it hit the ground. cracked the top piece, and took out a chunk of the front peice. its just not repairable. so i guess the moral of the story is dont get your gf involved with your hobby cause youll lose. big time.

Red is 100% better imo. Blue is a hard colour to make look professional. If you do blue again make it darker like royal blue.

[NameTaken45]

yes i do ROM!!!

bert i agree, next time i paint a case im gonna have someone do it professionally.

[Bertross]

i don't think your job was bad at all. It's the colour you choose that showed some flaws. Or maybe it was the flash. Anyway darker is nice.

[cucurucho]

black looks much greater than red or blue!

i wonder if power buttom still working after that paint

[NameTaken45]

couple more pics, just with 1 gig crucial ballistix and a 8800 gt.

[rob2k]

Excellent work

You put that together very quickly indeed.

Liking the stealth black very much and looking forward to seeing the colour in the loop.

[NameTaken45]

thanks rob. i appreciate it. 8 gigs of crucial ballistix tracer reds on the way. the regular ballistix tracer looks stupid with the blue and yellow leds glowing on it.

few more pics, ive started the cable management on the back side. this camera really sucks lol, its all blurry when i turn the flash off. oh well

[NameTaken45]

GTX 285 EVGA SC edition on the way. decided not to go with the 4870x2 because the driver issues worry me. and have always had good luck with drivers with nvidia products. im looking into buying the EK FC280 nickel waterblock. will update the log soon with better pics. the tracer REDS looking f ing amazing. i like how they doubled the led's.

[mit78]

this block its not compatible with gtx 285,the layout of vga card is not ther same,you must to buy a expres block for gtx 285.
