Project: Cosmod

Way to beat it. Great idea. I was thinking black paint but it looks really good with the white.

Beautiful work on that, very nice indeed.

Thanks
BTW, it's silver. Same color as the mesh and outside of the case.

Mate it looks much better painted, makes the lettering stand out more.

LOL, just can't wait, so i start posting here

I brought the chassis to a painter near to my work. It was only 45€ to get the chassis painted (black). It's not worth doing it myself for that money :o
A spray can is about 10€, and I'll need 2 or 3x black, and a primer. And then all the hours of work to get a smooth result. He should be done at Monday Hope i can do some progress on other parts of the case.

Today i did a mock up with all the parts to see how it will turn out, it might looks like he's almost finished, but there's still a lot of work left to do.

Remember this one?

After sending it to the painter:

First the reservoir, i mounted it with mobo standoffs instead of screws. Why?

To mount the aluminum plate on it. Offcourse white dot = drilling hole for the screw.

Replaced the other parts, i kept the HDD brackets blank aluminum, gives a good contrast to all the black stuff.

Wow look :o There's a pc chassis between all the garbage and tools.

Looks stock this way

Not on this way.

Added a motherboard as well.

A to-do: new button panel. I really don't like visible USB connectors on the front of a PC.

Another to-do is the window that shows the pump. Pump is very close to the chassis' edge, that will be a hard job to cut the window.

Even more because there's a metal bracket on the sidepanel. Well, the cutter can handle that one

Another preview on what's left to do, the original covers are not going to fit, due to the aluminum on the left. Not even talking about fitting the thumbscrews back there. I'll think about a solution for that.
