Interesting. Well, the problem with the Cosmos S case is that the fan located at the sidepanel won't allow for a big CPU cooler.

I believe that the Cosmos 1000 does not have this problem as it doesn't have a fan in the sidepanel but you managed to get one done, which looks pretty damn sweet if you ask me. I'll probably go with:

Cosmos 1000 with Ultra-120 Extreme
Cosmos S with SI-128 SE

I actually like the color of the S better than the 1000... I dont know.. I also like a sidewindow to go along with that...but then there'd be no more sidefan ..thats for the S version... Dont know, I'm just rambling away, never mind me.

Maybe a Cosmos S with Ultra-120 Extreme + sidewindow + additional top fans... Would probably be sufficient enough for a proper airflow I reckon

It's up to you, but all the top CPU coolers are becoming huge beasts and you have to think about the future.

Take a look and you'll find the top rated fans on the market (all huge) and how they compare to each other to help you make a final decision.

If you don't mind doing some case modding yourself for a fuller experince go with the Cosmos 1000, this way you can adapt it as you go!

Thanks for that link, that's some great info. What do you mean by that first sentence? That I have to consider doing water-cooling instead?

I said that you have to consider the future (not water-cooling).
