well im on my 1st stages of my new cosmos build!

my plans are to strip down the case and spray the interior matt black and fill it with 2 seperate loops using tripple rads!

my intentions are to run the cpu nb/sb mosfetts off one loop and gpu's of second loop (only have one gpu at moment)

i have ordered nickel plated motherboard blocks and im in the process of ordering a heatkiller nickel plated block!

one radiator will be mounted in the front of the case using brackets i have ordered form america and the second will be mounted in the top.

i will be using 6x120mm noctua nf-s12 fans (17 dB-Airflow 81 m3/h) to cool the rads!

before i got ahold of it with my screw driver

I would join in but have neither the funds, nor the knowhow, nor the spare time :(

I guess I will do some research, grafting and planning so when I do have time, I can join in with all of the awesome mods that people have done, and make them look even better because mine will suck badly :p

=EDIT=

looking at the first lot of pictures again, what are you working on, beacuse it seems someone has writtin on it :eek:

its a coolermaster cosmos sport (£150), been redundant for ages now

never used it cos the airflow sucked big time due to the fact that there was 1 fan on the front for intake and one on the bottom, then 3 ontop and one on the back for exhaust and the big fan on the side is crap...

by the time i finnish with it there will be 4 intake and 4 exhaust using the same fans all round :)
