Project Decepticon dizzy_spidey Feb 18th, 09, 10:36 AM #1 (permalink)
As a transformers fan, I have always wanted a one of my own transformers casing for my rig. Always loved predaking so I have it etched on my window around 2 years ago by Nicholas and it was really a job well done.









However 2 years has passed and many thoughts came to my mind about upgrading to a full tower. So I asked myself, is there a full tower that can satisfy my craving for a transformers casing?

After browsing the forums and getting poisoned by bros like bianco and heartykid, I thought cosmos s (window) might be a good choice. Since I wun be going into WC as yet, it should be spacious enough for aircooling and proper cable management. But, is it fierce enough to be a transformers casing?? Not exactly, I still need to powdercoat the interior to black to make it more suitable which is gonna cost me couple of bucks more... which is what is holding me back to upgrade.

Its until recently, this casing caught my eye and it was kindda love at 1st sight.. Will be keeping it as a suspense at the moment although I guess 2 members here already know what I have bought. No pictures yet cos I am still waiting for it to be delivered to my place.

Alrite!! The BIG brother finally arrived at my doorstep.
Thanks to Froze who travelled a great distance just to bring this gigantic box to me. I got a shock when I saw it. Think my wife will start to yell at me when she sees it. (U building a server or what?)


OMG, the box is really BIG!


Loved the all black design




Some comparison shots






Too tired to fix up the rig now.. Think will only be able to do so during the weekend. Loved the rig but the only con is that its probably gonna stay on the floor as I dun think my glass table is able to take its weight.

Its retailing at $299 at sls, much affordable as compared to cosmos s pricing but then, its not aluminium.. (POISON YOU )
I got it slightly cheaper with the help of Froze.

yeah... probably stickers would be the best option. since alpha bro told me that it would slide beneath the lower portion, it should be as flat as possible even with the logo.

i think froze bro might have contact for customized stickers as well.

Can use masking and spray paint, too.
