You paying attention?
The Build/MOD begins:
What do you mean I wasn't supposed to start the build???
I did a test layout and found a problem:
Now this is debatable, to do apush pull set up 3 or 4 fans here's the problem, what do you think?
Using a ECS Z77 Golden
COSMOS II
and Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme
The only place to put a closed loop Extreme is upper inside case because the hoses will not reach the cpu from the bay underneath
nor will the 240 radiator fit on the back and the top cover does not allow enough clearance for push pull like I want here.
It wont fit above the frame and will only allow fans on top of the radiator due to memory clearence.
I think I can solve this problem with this slim scythe SL12H fan, I'll update when I know.
I was playing with a concept idea of the Screaming Eagle Shredding out of the front case behind the drop down slide panel.
so when you slide it down the eagle and talons actually come out at you with a sound effect of a eagle scream with it.
Well when I showed a few friends they joked: "does it come out every hour?"
I never thought of that imagery and decided not to do this, so go ahead and laugh, it's on me and my ideas:
Tear down:
I Plan to enhance the WING Image of the doors so the vents need to be on the upper not lower half of the doors.
I call this the LEETOOL, Lee Han**** inspired me to experiment with the doors and I had to create this to work the tabs in the doors.
The hinges and latches do not line up if you switch doors so I swapped the door backing and IT WORKS!!!
The vent section of the door backing will be cut out and swapped. The door with 4 vents will be cut to match the 8 vents and Lee Harrington has
a door backing section with the 8 vents so I can match up the vent look. The mesh will be taken out and replaced with acrylic with stars cut
out for vent holes, edge lit with golden LEDS for Gold Stars..
Depending on the looks after the vent cutting and experimenting I may or may not FLIP/SWAP/MOD the doors.
Clean the case with 91% Isopropyl Alchohol
I also ran the heat gun on high over the case and wipe down as I did to remove any other MFG. Oils and such
1st coating is a Adhesion promoter called BULLDOG. It's $$$
The Paint is Rust-Oleum Universal Rubbed Copper I call it Titanium Gold Flake
This is my kind of Tree decorations, one friend called it my COSMOS MOBILE:
2 coats, 48hrs, wet sand 200 grit, another coat, 48 hrs, wet sand, thin spray coat, 6 hours and VALSPAR clear coat:
SOB!!! DAG NABBIT!!!
