Hey, I just got a Cosmos 1000 off the forums here (Thanks Bucken).

Anyway, I been seeing some cooling issues that people have been bringing up, mostly the poor airflow that is around the HD cage.
Currently I am planning on replacing the stock fans with a few low flow Yates Loons fans. Which after testing have a much higher air flow rate then the stock ones.

I have seen some mods that people have done on their cases to solve this problem one of them being moving the bottom intake fan to just above the HD cage.
What I am wondering is how much louder the case will be if i use a high speed or medium speed fan of the Yates Loons variety, and how much better the cooling will be. Here are some pics to help.

The intake fan moved from here:

To here:

I was also thinking about trying to get another fan enclosure and using a fan at both of the locations. Just wanted some advice as to how to help keep my system cool.
