Hello all,
This will be my first build log on TechPowerUp.
So let me introduce my new project Bel Air.
Sponsored By:
For this project i will be modding the Cooler Master Cosmos II.
I won't go to much in to details of the things that will be changing of the case. That are things that u will have to find out your self, by following this project.
The hardware for this project is still undiceited. It will all depend of the budget that is left after I'm done with the case self. I might use the hardware from my previous case mod Project White.
To cool all the hardware i will go for water cooling. This time I will do a dual loop and for this i will use copper pipes again. I know it is not something new but i just like to work with it. Plus it will fit perfect with the rest of the case and all the other details.
So lets start we have all seen the Cosmos II in one piece. For this i disassembled the case and placed all the parts on my floor witch was to small because the iron body couldn't fit on the picture
Removed the all the HDD cages + Midplate and PSU stand.
And the I/O backplate had to be removed.
Also cutted out a part out of the back of the case.
That is it for the case self. The rest u will all see later if u keep following
The next thing i have done is drawing the shape for the new air vents in the side panel. I have gotten the idea from a corvette anniversary 1978 with my own touch to it ofc
With the sketch ready i just had to get the materials to make the design. Got my self some foam to start the modeling of the air vents.
I had several attempts with different kind of tools. First one was with a knife that didn't go well.
Then i thought of making a some kind of heath wire to cut in the foam.
That plan has failed to my 12volt adapter wasn't strong enough to heat up the wire. Then i just purchased a tool to cut with.
With the new tool in the hand a started to make the venting hole in the foam.
This gives a better idea of how it will look like but still is not good enough. After some time i decided to make every piece apart if the vent.
One side is done now i only need to make a copy of it in mirror image.
And a picture of the garbage that was left behind.
That was it for this start post hope u all like. And stay tuned for the next update.
