Default window mod for cosmos

hello all,

I've been looking into buying the cooler master cosmos case. I really like the design except for one thing. It has no window. I've been trying to come up with ideas for a good window design. One idea I came up with was blowing up the specialized "s" from the cosmos logo on the front of the case and using that "s" as either a window or a mesh cutout. another possibility would be to frost a plain square window with the "s" logo, but i'm not sure if I'd like that or not. I was wondering if someone could help me out by blowing up the logo to see what it would look like bigger. I don't have the software required for this kind of thing or I'd do it myself. If there is any way to paste the blown up design onto the side of the case that would be perfect.

this is the best image I could get of the "s"

here is a good side view of the case.

I'm just not sure it would scale well or if it would allow for enough viewing into the case. Any other ideas for a window/mesh design are also welcome.

TIA

If you decide that you don't want to do the "S" anymore, i'm sure you could send your Cosmos in to Performance-Pcs and they would be happy to do it for you.

Here's a cosmos they sell with a window:

Thanks for the info. I had not seen that one yet. I'm really not stuck on the "s" design at all, it was just an idea that came to me. I'm open to ideas, but I was just hoping to see what that "s" would look like for my own curiosity. That PPC's window looks pretty nice, but I just wanted to toss around some design ideas with the fine modding minds here on OCN. Who knows, I may end up getting that performance-pcs version. I like the placement, how they managed to keep a lot of the brushed steel door and the cooler master logo at the bottom. I also like how they covered up the drive bays and such.
