So I am thinking of possibly buying a Cosmos. I really like the looks of them and the cooling seems decent. I think I have only seen one full build in a Cosmos (Maximum PC Dream machine). So does anyone here use a Cosmos right now? pics would be appreciated. Thanks
 
I'm not done tieing off and tucking away all the cabling, as I just received a hard drive I was waiting on, and I'm expecting a second DVD Drive, but here are a couple quick shots I took:

Stripped down to do some cleaning, rounding of sharp edges, and cutting a bigger air intake below the hard drives:

I'll post some better shots once I'm done with it. I'd like to clean up those cables at the bottom, and I need to decide on what color and order up some cable wrap for the fans and other odd cables.
 
I forgot to add, future upgrades include:

LED 120mm for the back, and probably a low profile 92mm fan under the hard drive cage to improve cool air flow through there (a weakness in the design IMHO).

I've already added better air filters in the intake in the bottom, and cut out the honeycomb over the top two exhaust fans:

Seems to be a good case. Pretty close to what I would have designed had I designed it for myself...except it's as heavy as a Suburban Goth Chick! I do wish they made the chasis out of aluminum!!!
 
Wow, that looks excellent already, can't wait for the final product. I'm really glad CM put those holes in the mobo for some quick and easy cable management. Thanks for the pics!

edit: This just reminds me of how the Antec 900 designers had nothing about cable management in mind :rolleyes:
