Cosmos S flexibility

I found a deal on a Cosmos S locally.
I've got a Prolimatech Megahalem on the way & was wondering if it would work in that case w/o interfering with the side panel fan.
Also, if I decided to put my CPU under water in the future, is this case H2O friendly?
Thanks!
 
I can see why they came out with the S model. I have a regular cosmos and its airflow and internal temperatures with stock cooling are quite high. The bottom fan was removed, two fans were mounted in the left side panel blowing IN. Two 120's up top blowing OUT along with an extra 120mm grille added to the black top piece to reduce backpressure from "plenum sharing". The 120mm fan in the back also blows OUT. All fans are 1800 RPM 120mm Gentle Typhoons. CPU temps approach ambient levels meaning they are the same if the motherboard is sitting on a table vs. enclosed with all covers on.

So I take it that means you like it? 🙂
Will a Megahalem fit in this thing w/o having to remove the big-azz side panel fan?

It's a decent case and seems to stay upright most of the time.

Measure from the panel to the edge of the fan. If it's more than 25mm you may have an interference issue.
