Ya bro we can mod something! We don't have a decent case though. We can use my current case but its a load of junk.

post some pics up of the cosmos so we can have a looksy at what u dealing with...
iv started a newbie mod project on a really old case ( one of slim's ex cases) just as a practice mod... bought a sealed dremel 4000 at a garage sale for next to nothing on friday so iv put it too good use... i wont post any pics of this mod, but slim is gona practice on one of my old cases and then when the right time comes we gona go halvies on a case and both mod it properly....

And yes you have a long way, but u will only get better than what u are now and quite frankly u doing an excellent job.... u must go all out on the cosmos....

Yep, I agree on going to full on with the Cosmos box. You need to at the very least change those bars on the top and bottom to something more usefull than carrying the case. Like use them to run the water cooling through and add some way of seeing the fluid. That would be unique (well at least I haven't seen anyone doing that...lol).

Haha thanks bro! Jelly is gona be going red,and then I'll be buying some his blue fans. I've decided on blue again!! I know I change my mind all the time but I'm looking at getting a Zalman Z9 plus case. Very cheap though,so I'm hoping its not cheap looking. I can't get over that cosmos! That case is awesome

jelly and i might be forced to mod my current case because the zalman z9 might not be in stock,so il have all my parts with no new case. so we gona cut a hole in my sidecover for the cooler to stick through,because my case is a bit narrow to house that big bugger cmv6 gt!
