Does it matter which way you face the fan on a bottom mounted PSU? I've noticed most cases have vents on the bottom where the PSU is meant to be mounted, yet I've seen many people mount their PSU with the fan blowing up towards the expansion slots (mostly video cards).

PSU fans almost always suck in. It's better to have them sucking in from the bottom through those vents than from the air in the case, otherwise your feeding hot air to your PSU.

Ah so is that the reason why people these days prefer a case with bottom mounted PSU's?

That and less hassle with having spare cables dangling down from above, though TBH if you have any sense you buy a modular PSU anyway.

When you said "Old Cosmos 1000" at the start, i was looking at the pics thinking "that's quite a nice rig"... but all the while was expecting to see a "New *insert case name here*" comment with more pics. haha.

Nice Cosmos, though.

Is it a requirement to have water cooling to win PC of the month? I've never seen a PC of the month with high end air cooling.

Thank you for your comments!!
"COSMOS II" is not my possessions though regrettable.
It was requested and painted.
However, I am not a pro. (^_^)
