The build
This is my good friend Manuel's Cosmo S that I built for him. Most of the hardware was recommended by me and this rig come out to be around $3000.
As some of you know cable management is a big deal to me and it was a bit hard with this case. I wanted to cut more holes to have a cleaner look, but Manuel wanted to finish it sooner. We built this rig about 3 months ago, so I'm sorry about the dust and I hope the dirty water in the loop doesn't affect your votes :( He was a but careless when these shots were taken. Since then we have cleaned the loop and added nuke to the distilled water. Also another 4 gigs have been added for a total of 8gb Ripjaw ddr3 1600mhz.
Let us know what you think? and/or what we could do to improve it! Thank you for voting

That thing looks great! You should have told your buddy off and had him let you finish your cable management.
I didn't realize the Cosmos S was so different from the Cosmos-1000. The motherboard tray is dimpled for strength, but overall the layout is the same. The biggest difference I see is the HDD bays aren't the same.
Kudos! 10 by me.
