Forgot about Christmas Island

I guess "misfits" probably is a good word to use to describe all of us that don't conform to conventional thinking. :rockout:

You guys should totally use TPU and make a "Bad Boys of Modding Clubhouse"

We've already got all kinds of stupid clubhouses going, at least I'd pay attention to that one

Nicely done! I bet it helped the temps quite a bit.

LOL, Rosewill sent me 2 more of these cases to mess with. After I finish the Hogan case I am gonna get the Dremel out... :rockout:

DanishDevil · Mar 25, 2008

After seeing this on their own? Or did you tell them to follow it?

MKmods · Mar 25, 2008

It never occurred to me to contact them(I am not big on sponsor stuff).

I remember once that I was using a Bunch of AC Fans on a build. I sent an email to the Co. and figured I would get a "well done" or something..

LOL, what I got was a brochure on their products in PDF format.

did it at least have the whole sale prices in it

Cold Storm · Mar 25, 2008

This just proves that making cases like this, and allowing others to view can surly make something out of ya. Its all ways worth wild to make up.
Good Job MK! If I didn't have this Cosmos, I'd ask for one myself!

Dude your Modding skills are absolutely AMAZING!! Natural talent right there..

I just wanted to know what you use to Cut aliminuim and or any metals?
And how did you shorten the PSU cables.. Could you please include a bit more detail there..

Otherwise Keep up the "Godmodding" man..

My favorite way is with these (made by Wiss)

(The red handle ones cut straight or left hand circles)

Sometimes I use a dremel but usually I reserve that for touch ups or small cuts.

as to cables I make the wires I am going to use the exact length by cutting and soldering new tip on. The other wires I dont use I remove them from the circut board of the PS (Not Recommended if ur planning on a RMA)

Yo i have those same ones... further proof that I lack such skills... (runs off to cut some random metal)

phanbuey · Mar 29, 2008

MK... how much would you charge for the SFF case with the handle? Seriously... is it for sale?

This stuff is like art man... you should seriously consider contracting a manufacturer and selling your "designer" cases. Have you seen the SFF chasis out there? theyre terrible!!! The ram cooler tunnel you made? This stuff would sell for so fast...

MKmods · Mar 29, 2008

the red one?

phanbuey · Mar 29, 2008

MKmods said:

yes... that one... I am interested if it is for sale (PM if so)...

if not then look at avatar

I know it sounds like im kissing a bit of a55, but, as has been said before, these cases are sick. you should seriously consider outsourcing the manufacturing of these designs... you would make cash money ho's.

Th3-R3as0n · Mar 29, 2008

Thanks Mark im gonna get me a pair of those and start making my new case today..

Thanks for the inspiration and i dont think im gna do the PSU shortening but im definitely gonna do the same cable management or get as close to it as possible..

Edit: How dod you connect all your LEDs into the fan and how do you connect a LED? Im a noob in the modding world.

First thanks for the kind words :toast:

One thing about my cases is they are one of a kind. The Red one got a lot of attention because of its size (the fact that it could run 2 8800s and was MUCH cooler than any other SFF case didnt hurt either)

Hardware is pretty easy, you pick a mobo and CPU and go..But cases are a very personal choice. Some LOVE SFF cases and others LOVE Full towers.

I cant imagine calling you a kiss a55 because you liked a case.
(that is one kick ass case :rockout:

I just got some ModdersMesh and rubber trim I ordered from Bill and the gang at MNPCTech and they threw in a gift.
There are few standouts in online ordering that I have noticed...

Newegg (quick delivery,excellent customer service)
PetrasTech (also quick delivery, excellent CS and their delrin DDC tops rule)
and now I add to my short list
MNPCTech as they have always been a great experience for me. Thanks Bill and Co.
