So after a Long Long Research i came up with a Plan To buy Cooler master Cosmos 1000 it retails for around 6-8k. For Its size it is Quite a Ready To mod case.
As m low on funds right now ill be Buying This Case Around June, Till then Just planning
I knw Nthin wld be possible without the case. but Smthing is better than nothing eh?
Here are my plans

Get a Cosmos 1000
Fix a 3-120mm fan Rad Some what like this →

As i want everything inside My case.
i want The Most of what ever i can do.
For Then ill just be Cooling My Cpu(E8500) nd The Nb Maybe.
Gpu will bee on air cooling on the zalman 1000VF
Guess Evrything Should Work Fine With This WC project.

Now The Other Part is to add Some Bling.
i Decided To Cut the Side Panel nd Attach a Window.
maybe this [link]http://www.crazypc.com/products/PX82170.html[/link]
Or an acrylic Sheet Would Do the Job.
Will add 2 UV CCfls nd 2 Green CCFLS.
and Will be Carbon Plating it too
What say?
Howz Zee Idea?
Any Suggestions? to improve or to add smthin else.

:lol:

Lol… 6k… I guess he must’ve been referring to a US site like newegg or amzon fer tat price..

6

yes thats what he was referring too, and i still dont know how he came to the starting figure of 6k, since even in US it costs around Rs. 8500

7

rather than a big debate on the price , how about some modding suggestions which is what he wanted :stuck_out_tongue:

Here are my suggestions which should save you some time instead of reworking

  1. Whatever supplies you get, always keep extra, cause you never know when what might go wrong.

  2. When attempting cutting metal… Practice first
    Cause you might ruin your entire case if it goes wrong

  3. When doing jobs better keep extra …cause you can file away the extra but you can’t bring back if you cut more.:slight_smile:

  4. Plan it in advance:)

  5. Get the right tools or people with the right tools. Know the rates of tools beforehand and learn to use them:cool2:

  6. Join the modding forums😄

  7. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Learn the basics from MNPCTECH youtube vids and kickbox vids in youtube

  8. Paint jobs can go horribly wrong:( …keep that in mind before a paint job..
    better to get a professional..:blush:

  9. Be prepared to shell out…:rofl:

  10. Hope you have a good workbench

  11. Don’t make soo much noise that your neighbours start complaining…:rofl:

  12. Make vids of your work…cause we wanna see…

  13. ths it… good luck…

PS: All advice from personal experience…:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

^^Lol.. Yeah.. :flushed_face:

I guess Sunnyboi can pour in more inputs..

I suggest get it cut from a professional rather than buying a dremel n doin it by urself and not gettin satisfied..

Get an acrylic sheet from the local plastic dealer who delas wih name plates n name boards..
A 4mm-5mm thick one shud do fine..

And the Rad on the 2nd post. I guess its suckin in air towards d interior of the cabinet which’s goin to make the cabinet warmer.

So a better suggestion would be to mount it the other way round so tat it pushes the warm air out of the cabinet towards the bottom.
So drill 3 holes of 120mm dia @ the bottom of he cabinet accordingly.

Some even hav their Rads mounted atop the cabby(inside I mean!!!).

But I guess cosmos have 2 holes fer the W/C tubes tats supposedly meant fer placing the Rad outsid..
Will let u know abt the LCD thing in d meantime..

EDIT: Here’s d LCD thing u’d be interested.. Someone was selling the same thing here in TE Mrket as well..
