100% agree with you - temperatures in my Armor Jr with only 1 intake and a single exhaust were better than my Cosmos with 2 intakes and 3 exhausts.

Ah. Interesing point. Sadly, having young nephews I'd need something that is finger resistant.
But hey, with 6 Noctua fans, my CM 590 is doing very nicely on the noise front. And the Scythe Musashi cooler on my HD4850 Toxic has dropped temps massively!
I just wonder if the desktop type of orientation would help with the problem of the heat from the Gfx feeding into the cpu cooler.
Take one of these: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6...TX_Liquid_Cool-able_Case_Q201.html?tl=g1c7s29
And add exhaust through the top of the case. Let the hot air do the work for you.

the design is poor (the PS needs to be below the mobo on the SFF comps)

Thats because the cosmos doubles as a kiln
Its so big the air slows down inside it plus there are no decent intakes if the door is shut.

Now I have to post this one right after MK posts his sexy open top case 
Coming out of mothballs so I can chew on it some more...
All salvage gear pulled from the totes and bins and drawers.
I have an Abit AA8XE (925XE chipset lol) going in there momentarily.

Sorry about whoring up the thread
But Dammit I am upgrading everything in sight
I added a third 8800GT to the X58 tonight and got it Folding. I plugged the additional power to the mobo and the 12V rail is now much steadier and does not dip below 11.9. Before it was dipping to 11.6. I guess DFI knew WTH they were doing when they added the power distribution points at the top and bottom PCIe slots.
No TriSLI for the 8800GT set up...but I could run SLI and Phsyx.

Yeah if you want to Fold on the card you can't enable SLI.
And to do Tri-SLI I guess you need a fatter card with dual SLI tabs.

Small update. Threw in another fan and an ATA hard-drive which is using the 3.5" to 5.25" adapter since it was too difficult to get my card reader into it. I also moved the hard drive cages up 1 slot to give a bit more room at the bottom for cable management.
