Cooler Master Cosmos Dean "Kreij" Kortenhoven edition

[Ahhzz]

It's from an older(1977) Burt Reynolds movie called "Smokey and the Bandit"
Obviously, good old Burt was the bandit. He drove a '77 Pontiac Trans Am with that paint job plus a little bit of custom flair added to it. Pontiac released this version as the "Bandit Edition" for sale to the general public in 1978, but it was extremely limited in production.
Fun fact: For several of the jumps in the film, the crew used a second, purpose-built "Bandit Edition" that had a custom 4BBL tuned Chevy 350cid under the hood. This car was completely stripped of all unnecessary weight and given nearly 600 horsepower so it could clear the jumps. Burt did the jumps himself, and the car was destroyed during production of the film. If you can mange to find an original, non-remastered version of the film, you can notice that the Trans Am sounds much more aggressive before Burt jumps it, that's the fire-breathing 350 in the jump car. Later on, they edited the engine sound to be uniform throughout the film.

This has been RM with your old-school flashback.

The fact that you have to explain that to someone today just... I has a sad....

Well, I think it´s not sad to explain the story of a movie from the 70´s and it´s not the first time that @Random Murderer calls my attention to an important subject,
have say that I´ll search the Smokey and the Bandit and grab popcorn and a beer.

Not picking on you by any stretch, just lamenting the fact that I'm OLD. And that it never occurred to me that someone wouldn't get the "Smokey and the Bandit" reference

No worries on that, it´s all Ok ;-)

However the voting on Cooler Master Facebook page as begun till May 17th and any help is very welcome.

Hi there,

If the things should be fine here something weird,

The microbium pump has died for no reason, and if wasn´t enough I broke the reservoir when I was dissembling the box to fix it.

The rest are the pictures that follows next.

The front had two extra holes and looked like yesterday news, time to make it better.

One alliance to the power ( button).

Here is the lettering, engraved and painted.

Two days earlier the crap paint,

How easy it comes

The worst it stays.

The fifth star.

It is not in vain, see why. ( 360 mm rad)

The Alphacool VP644 handles the job pretty well.

The new covers made to increase the cloister space.

I don´t know what do you guys expect of this case, but by my counts when the issue comes , begins a chance to evolution, at least I learn something sometimes.

Until then.

Hi there,

Here goes a few tests that I´ve run recently.
The maximum temps achieve was 43ºC as shown in Afterburner,
The Real temp marks the cpu temps as well the max.

Spoiler: 3Dmark score

In the real world test I run the Boinc Manager.

Spoiler: Crunch, crunch, crunch........

As shown in picture there are various temperature controllers, from the Asus AI suite 3 display the 38ºC,
The Gpu-Z mark 36ºC during the crunching operation, btw the gpu is in idle, and for last the Real Temp displays the instant temperature ( I think it maybe the instant temp) goes as high as 54ºC with the max to 56ºC.

One thing that I notice from the MSI H87 to the Asus H97 is the system allows the cpu run all four cores at 3900mhz in 100% load and has the fan off feature into the UEFI system,
In the H87 the cores only goes as far as 3700 mhz when they are at 100% load.

The noise matter is all about the pump, because the Alphacool only works at 12V, I´ve tried run it at 7V with an adapter from a jetflow fan, but does not work properly, the fans are tweaked to start running at 50ºC and run at full speed when the cpu gets 65ºC.
I should get an second opinion before I purchase the pump, one with pwm or one D5 should be the best for this,... well, next time.

It seems that the Burt "Smokey" Reynolds and the Bandit are here to stay .

The fact that you have to explain that to someone today just... I has a sad....

I wanted to say it earlier, but guess what, I saw the movie back in the lately 80´s or 90´s last century, I know it because I remember the scene where appears one truck to face the cops in dirt land, and then on the back of the first truck began to show the other trucks, like this scene.

I also remember the lady, the Smokey himself, but lacks the Bandit, that is why I did not tell before because this movie was buried deeper in my memories than I recall.

Second attempt:

A bit different,

An D was far easy than a K.

I apologize for the bad pictures, my E420 doesn´t go beyond than this.
The skills need an improvement as well.

Thank you guys for your support,

Have a nice day.

Brother, You don't have Anything to apologize about !

The craftmanship is outstanding, and remind's me of many military projects we'd build !!

Yeah, but is not salable yet, I need to make the things far better than they are now.
Nowadays I´m between jobs and I need to make something really good to put bread in the table.

excellent build my friend!

the pro-sauce in this thread is real make me wanna get the dermal out and make some modifications to this one
I do have a set of carving bits I wonder if they would work on the side window ....

 

[FireFox]

@ST.o.CH you have talent Bro, that's an amazing Build
My Compliments Sir.

 

[Norton]

@ST.o.CH you should send a pic of that straight to Thermaltake, CoolerMaster, Silverstone, and/or InWin as your resume/job application and tell them that's what a top end case is supposed to look like!

Damn nice job (as always)!

All the work metal that I do is cut, drill, sand and bend and "paint", after all is only a full hand of steps,
You can do this, the only thing is that you just need to believe.

I´m wondering, after making only six pc cases isn´t that to soon.
I can feel that if do the things before the right time it will simple blow away my chances,
After said the above, I don´t have words to express my gratitude for your encouragement,

...Damn it, I´ll take a break and write some letters, something will sort out.

agreed....!

Idem

 

[peche]

this work is pretty awesome=, the fact that you started just with the skeleton of a simple case… pretty amazing,

I will save some money for a dremel and some more tools for modding a mac pro case that I have in my house, I liked mods in the moment I saw this mod,

99.9% of us wouldn't be able to make even a single case from scratch so you're far ahead of the curve there Bud

AND I can only imagine how many that you have dreamed up that haven't been made yet!!!

Agree With over 30 yrs. in a major fabrication company, I've had to do some very wicked stuff, as seen form those pic's of that boat part's, but even with huge Laser's, Brake's, Milling, Welding an on and on I'd be shocked if even our best Engineer could even begin to design anything as what you do. !!

It take's just Raw talent, from the brain to the hand's to do it !!

I know this, they wouldn't even atempt to do it less than $1,000 USD

@ST.o.CH
You Sir are one of those with that rare talent !

That is indeed a good start, just go for it .

Despite having more draws than I can make, I have a clue for you, a long time ago, not that long, maybe last year, who cares, I don´t recall, I made a draw and then, for any particular reason, probably my head had smashed a wall or something, whatever, I decided to update my avatar by simply copy paste the case I made before, and so only changed the form to spherical.
Who wonders.
