I copy this guy's idea with the exception of having a fan in the HD Drive Bay.

My system was running pretty warm with the I7 920 overclocked to 3.8ghz. I also have my ATI 4890 OC as well. When the case door was opened, temperature dropped a good 5-10°C.

My cooling setup:
Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 120mm SSO CPU Cooler, replaced the fan with the rocket engine 3000 RPM Scythe Kama Kaza blowing 133 CFM for $10

The Noctua fan that came with the cool was placed standing up position labeled F1

Bgears b-ice Blue 120mm Blue LED Case Fan, this one replaced the stock fan on the rear panel, 58.3 ±10% CFM

I am running now about 40°C idle on my CPU. I'm under 60°C under gaming load which is around 37% cpu usage. My ATI 4890 is about 59°C idle.

My room temp is usually around 72° F. I thought I share this information to all cosmos 1000 owners that this case DOES get very WARM if you do not add additional fans in when you are overclocking. I'll take some snapshots later of my setup.
