im getting closer to finally buying my puter. but i do have more questions.
im getting the cosmo case and with all of the fans it comes with (i think 5) should i get stage 3 cooling? i dont think they can add more to the case so really its just going to be fan upgrades. i may overclock my cpu.

Cosmos S comes with 4 fans with the possibility of adding 3 more fans for a total of 7.

Those 3 extra fan places, those are all on the top of the case right?

Im actually suprised the Cosmos S doesnt hold more fans then that.
 
I thought also that the Cosmos S comes only with 3 fans, the 200mm+ one on the side, then 2 in the upper left side of the case. Just wondering where the 4th one would be.

Cosmos S comes with two exhaust fans (one top & one rear) and two intake fans (one side and one front).

You can add two more 120mm fans at the top of the case and one 120mm fan at the bottom of the case.

They fill every fan mount in the case with high quality fans.

I'd just do it. It's the best cost to benefit ratio you are likely to find on the configuration page.
