Default Coolermaster Cosmos casemod for better airflow

Here is a quick video of some things I did to the Coolermaster Cosmos to improve airflow a bit.

1. Added two fans in the 3 unused drivebays under the optical drives.
2. Used dremel to cut out all the unused hdd cage brackets.
3. Added a 120 Fan at the bottom of the Hdd cage right on top of intake vent to push air up and cool hdds.
4. Added an exhaust fan to the left of the hdd cage which also cools the GPU.
5. Got rid of all the molex connectors which were clogging up my interior space and hampering airflow to a degree and added a single unit to connect all 6 fans that were not connect to the mainboard.

Enjoy the quick vid, but screenie of CPUid HWMonitor is right under that with temp results. Q6600 OC'd to 3.2GHz and 8800GTS OC'd to 710MHz. Temps before these mods on every area were 10C~ higher

I use too many hard drives to ever even consider something like that.

Edit: Dude, Cut that screenshot down to size. It's full width an you only have a tiny area in use!

Nice mod, clean case.

Ya, I'm looking to slowly expand my hard drive count, so I can't afford to do anything like that.
