Hi all,

We have just published the worklog for Coolmiester's *Cosmos Skulltrail*

case modification. If you could post a link on your site that would be

very much appreciated.

*/Project: Skulltrail was conceived "way back" in March of 2008 at

CeBit, where Cooler Master first asked if I'd mod its new flagship case

- the Cosmos S. At the same time, the company was curious as to whether

I could get more performance from its new Aquagate Max drive bay inserts.

So, given my mission, I came away from CeBit knowing that I would need

to come up with something a bit special. Not only would it need to be

good in the looks department (without robbing the CM Cosmos-S of its

unique looks), but also performance. After a second, I thought, "What

better than a new Skulltrail system to prove the capability of the

heavily modded Aquagate?"

From that point forward, the project snowballed thanks to some major

sponsors getting involved including Intel, Zotac, and HWLabs.

Once the hardware was finalised, it soon became apparent that it would

need to be a dual loop system with the two Core 2 Extreme QX9775s and

the northbridge on one loop, and the two Zotac GeForce 9800 GX2s and the

RAM in the other (no southbridge watercooling as the GX2s completely

obstruct access) so I set about modding two Aquagates.// /
