Information.

 
Here's some music that my mod is inspired by. (You don’t need to listen if you want to.)
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAdtHu5dPiI
 
Let's continue!
 
I guess that many visitors know who Sauron is?
 
 You don’t?  That’s okay…
 
Sauron is one of the powerfulest characters in The Lord of the Rings, he was once the ruler of the middle earth, but when Isildur(King at that moment) got he’s sword and sliced Saurons hand and Isildur took the ring, and the story goes on. 
 
If you want to know what really goes on when i say those name I recommend everyone to see the triology, They are awesome!  Or you could just google about LOTR and save a lot of time… LOL
 
Now you really need that music!
 
Sauron is going to get his ring back and he’s not going to get his ring back with some small case, we are talking about the Cosmos 2 By Cooler Master. He will be watercooled by my friend Artur from Coolingstuff! Sauron will get some awesome custom paint by my friend at Dmfinearts. Can’t wait to see the result. And don’t forget the custom made radiator grills from ModWithMe. 
 
So let's start this project and mod the Sh*t out of this awesome case! :rock::rock::rock:

Hey and welcome back!

 

 

It's time for the second update for this project and this time i'll be showing off some products from Coolingstuff. I'll also be showing up my first modding to the case. 

 

Coolingstuff sent me the watercooling parts earlier then i expected, they are really awesome and i can't wait to see how the cooling coolant will look within this build. So let's get to the photos and tell me what you think!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I need to redo the U channel cable I think it doesn't look good....Otherwise I'm really happy how the mountings on the two 240MMs radiators looked. I think it looks amazing, but...In my opinion i think it would be a lot of nicer with either red screws or red vinyl instead of the black vinyl. what do you think?

 

 

I want to thank Coolingstuff for supporting this project! It couldn't be done without you!

 

 

That's everything for now!

 

MOD ON!!!!

 

Sincerely,

those hands don't look 14...

[FloRolf]

those fans dont really look pressure optimized. looking forward to the finished built though

[nsyedhasan]

You don't sound 14.

[FloRolf]

I've heard they are really good, i guess we will see, thanks!

I love the parts but the first photo please remove it. Looks so cheesy.

For the components i don't really know. i really love the new ASUS Maximus VI Formula, should look perfect in this build.

 

I'll re upload the first photo!

[Nerykrugeer]

Awesome build. I have a Cosmos 2 myself, but not watercooled, one day i will get there.

 

I have a question how was the fit for the two rads on the bottom? and where u located the fans, between the rads?

Nice, they are really sexy when they are watercooled!

 

The fit for the 240mm radiators was really easy, i located the fans just on the radiators. so it's a very easy mod

[NJB Mods]

Hey!

 

Back with a little question to you guys!

 

Which side panel should i try to get? 

 

 

Which one could be the best looking for this project?

 

One more question for you!

 

Should i try to get a plexi glass, with a little darker color to it? You can still see through it but...it's just darker.

 

Please tell me what you think!

 

Sincerely,

NJB Mods

[NohbdyKnows]

Whatever has more plexi/glass

[NJB Mods]

Whatever has more plexi/glass

 

Haha lol!

 

Btw, which of the alternatives do you like best?

[RFM-PC]

Definitely B

[Homicidium]

Either B or C, although I'm more inclined to option C  

[Kiri]

b would be awsome

[NJB Mods]

b would be awsome

 

Thanks for your opinion

Either B or C, although I'm more inclined to option C

It's hard to choose...

Definitely B

Yeah i don't know. It's easier to cut, but C is bigger

[ForsakenLive]

I like C, it's cleaner and probably easier to make.

[purplepenguin202]

B is sexy

[Hazy125]

I think B looks better, but the extra ventilation will make it a pain to mod if you want to cut it up a bit

[NJB Mods]

Another idea again! 

 

I've got another idea for this project!

 

I will remove the case feets and the case top handles. put some nice casefeets and on the top i want a text to be on the sides like this

 

 

 

 

It means something like this

 

"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

 

So, think that there will be this red LED plate will show of the text and it will blink slowly.

 

What do you think?

the text could be fantastic for a lotr themed case, honestly i think the majority of us got that phrase memorised and instantly knew the moment we saw the text, having it blinking red would just be right on so many lvls, but then again i guess it really depends on what sort of theme you are aiming for, what approach you are going to use, it could end up being misfit.

 

guess it would be better if it had more of a "breathing" light fading in and out slowly, rather than blinking.

Sorry!

 

Of coruse it will be "breathing" didn't know which english word i should have choosed instead in that moment!

 

But thanks for helping me out

 

So it's going to be breathing instead

 

Thanks!
