True, I could've done that, and it was actually my planning but since i got the blocks for cheap, i only added about $100 more and they look cleaner. Fan controller? I already have one in front in case you missed that. PSU? I dont need anything higher than 1000 watt, its just a waste of money.
even if you got the blocks for a bargain I wouldn't use them they are inefficient, yes the NZXT Fan Controller see the Fan Controller Bjorn posted in the picture above? it's a Zalman ZM-MFC1 Plus should of used that it's cheaper has more watts per channel better build quality and less problematic, not talking about the wattage talking about the build quality it's manufactured by Enhance I would of chosen a Channelwell manufactured Power Supply.
i'm going to make some assumptions if i'm wrong feel free to correct me 1) those Fans on the Radiator are AC Ryan or some other LED model like the Front Intakes, do not use LED Fans ever. 2) you are using a commercial coolant, all you need is distilled water and pt nuke -phn. 3) 6 Fans on a Swiftech 120mm x 360mm is probably unnecessary since the Radiator doesn't respond well to High Pressure 3 in pull configuration is fine otherwise buy a new Radiator (probably a better idea)
I'm not into spending weeks n months to mod a case with acrylic etc etc...
yes but it's so worth it.

i wonder what small mods you talk off though. Thanks for your input.
get involved with the case modding community on other forums lots of professionals have worked with this case I think once you realize i'm right you might want to sell a lot of your components and start over maybe with a new case since the Cosmos S isn't very ideal for modding, get
inspired take a challenge create a "aquarium" theme select a new case. i'll give you a example of a easy mod that should be done to all cases with solid expansion slot covers purchase a pack of
these they will increase air flow these shed Video Cards temperature 1-4'c the heat that radiates off your Power Supply and Video Cards will be forced out the expansion slot from the Front Intakes and Top Fans on the Radiator (if they are in pull configuration).
