The time has come to begin the mods.
First mod, barely a mod at all, was cleaning up the removable top panel that goes over the three fan holes up top in this area:
The mesh has little tabs all around it that are bent over the edge in various places that keeps it in place. I might swap this out for some hex modder's mesh, but I'm not sure. I kinda like the way these are molded, and that would be near impossible with hex mesh.
Once I removed the mesh, I was greeted with this disgusting, unnecessary "scaffolding" of plastic. I grabbed my snips and went to work!
With the majority of it cut out:
Cleaning up:
I finally went over every stub with my knife and cut them all off. It doesn't look perfect, but I'm toying with the idea of painting it black, since the center area of the front panel is black versus the gray of the rest of the case.
Here's the finished look:
Very simple and very easy to do if you own a Cosmos S. It makes it look cleaner, makes the case lighter by a few ounces, and improves exhaust airflow out the top.
If you guys have any ideas for me, let me know.
Also, I might go a little crazy with the interior paint, and do something other than a neutral black. I want to find a paint that mimics the PCI bracket of the HIS IceQ3 cards:
I think it will be a little more interesting than plain 'ol black. It's really kind of pearly and metallic in person.
