Evening all,
What are everyones thoughts on the Cosmos as a case for watercooling? I had it set up for WC in January and it was a real pain to get it done nicely etc. I'm thinking about selling it and buying a HAF932 instead as i want to get back to watercooling when i move into my new house.
 
HAF has more space (+fits triple radiator) but still getting watercooling nice looking requires work in routing and cutting pipes to right length.
Seems like there are quite few vids of watercooled Cosmos 1000 in Youtube so also check those.

Depends if you like cutting your case to bits or not really.

CM Sport nice case decent enough for air cooling that's about it.
Fitting a rad in the roof requires a lot of modding and your best friend is mr dremel.

HAF932 again decent case it's heavy case! you will fit a triple rad or a double in the roof ( you will need to dril and tap two holes if you are going for a triple rad though )
Double rad slides right into the top.
most people who have HAFs have a 240 rad in the top and 120 by the CPU.
res bay res is your best bet or else a EK res.

I have had both cases and dumped them both for a Silverstone TJ07 case this case it's brilliant for watercooled systems, but it comes with a heavy price tag!

Lian-li v1000/2000 series are pretty decent as well depending on how much watercooling parts you are going to have in it.
