Cosmos S White Legend

[stevenbergounis]

Hi my name is Steven, i leave in Greece and i have studied Landscape Architecture. I like to build PC's and modding them these is the first computer i modded.

All started on early 2008 when i wanted to build my first pc and put a custom watercooling from beginning...the result ? Is the computer appearing on the first picture, in 3 words :That UGLY THING !

Well i am sure, that image it is now engraved for good in your head and propably you burned your eyes... sorry <3  :-) .

Well in my mind it was exotic, as time past i realised, it  had much more hardware on it that it could handle, with the result being a tranpsarent show of ugly cables and !@#$ all over the place !

and from there, i made the decision to buy the Coolermaster Cosmos S case, by the standards today is old but classic and get the job done with elegance trust me (don't judge from the blur old pics)

The build isn't complete done, as i have to put lights and make some improvements on the cable management and last a full side smoked window which i have but i haven't made yet the holes to mount it.

I don't have detailed guide of the build cause it started late 2008 and i was making small changes i din't knew i would post it on a forum, but here i am :-)

The build Started as a gaming rig with Cosmos S case, Asus Striker 2 Extreme and a Q9550, xfx 9800gtx+ 2way sli... and now it's current configuration has :

*if the post is unreadable or exosting , cause of the big pictures one after the other, please let me know. ( i think i found a fix by make them thumbnail )

I will try to make them smaller...if you know what i mean ;-)

 

The small pictures are in correct order, ignore the big ones ( i would delete them but i don't know if it will affect the small ones).

Where'd the pictures go for the build?

[stevenbergounis]

Guys i don't know why but the first 3-4 images are messed up in order, sorry.

 

P.S : Never mind now there are all ROLF !

quite the upgrade the see though case is trippy as all balls ahaha

[stevenbergounis]

I run some benchmarks, nothing too in depth just some temps idle - load, some memory \ cache benchmarks and some cpu.

I will try make some 3D Mark , Cinebench, Valley and Heaven benchmark perhaps.

The images you can find them on the thumbnails on the top, under my story.

Thanks again for your time reading the post :-)

 

P.S i love so much my GTX 680 Lightning from the first batch before the restrictions, If you know what i mean... ;-)  <3 <3 <3
