I was looking for a way to increase the air flow and get the wireing a little better because the pressuer on the door might make it buckle if i add any more.

Also you can say how awsome it is.

Lastly i will post some pics of this beast in a little bit.

I'll say the cheap hard drives, cheap motherboard, overkill RAM, expensive case and 9800GTX are indeed a strange blend of choices.
I doubt the Cosmos S will have issues devouring it all and asking for more.

The hard drives are only cheap in price. They are really good. The Motherboard is also very good for the price(dont want to sli). And the case is just so when i do upgrade in the future that I can use that case for omost anything even watercooling( thats what the 3 top fans are for). Also i leave the side open on the case. If you have the case i suggest it it increses the air flow ten fold. Also found out when you take off the top thing( I really dont know what to call it) (Also it comes off in the back by a finger screw) It also increses the air flow alot. I got a jolt can to flot about 3 ft above it( not easy to do and it was empty) I was going to do a Bawls but decied aginst it ( Glass+floting+fans+on top of case+ 2 CRAZY dogs= Glass in fans and a $400 trip to the vets. Last thing i found was that if you move the DVD drive up and the hard drive bay down you might have enough room for 2 extra front fans + i saw on youtube this guy put another fan behind that one to make the air move faster. In all thats 12 fans (that in the cpu cooler and all optional fans in.

^As long as you don't go deaf with the noise from all those fans.

WD1600YS are outdated designs. They are RAID Edition drives but it was still a strange decision (1x WD3200AAKS single platter drive would have been a better value choice IMO).

Did you do any research as to how loud your machine will be...
hope you got some fan controller to quiet those fans down.
live and learn... I have...

Its not that loud. its like a low humm under load but i think that I am going to put a on off switch on the top fans because my 9800 cooler works too well under full load Ntune doesn't even turn the fan on ( but i usually do) it goes around 50C under load. But it doesn't bother me at all. The only problem with PC is its over 50LBS!!!! and that the Drives for the 9800gtx SUCK SOOOOOO MUCH NUTS!!!
