This is where the power supply is mounted. You'll notice the aforementioned dedicated intake with mesh fan grill underneath. There's also a thin layer of padding to dampen vibrations and provide a tighter fit for the PSU within the case.
The gizmo shown earlier is the only installed intake fan in the case. This makes 1 intake and 3 pre-installed exhausts, giving the Cosmos a negative air pressure setup. There's an ongoing debate about which is better. Negative air pressure means there's more exhaust than intake. Positive air pressure means there's more intake than exhaust. Dust is usually cited as a reason for going with one or the other, but Cooler Master did a good job of isolating possible intake areas to a select few, all of which are covered by removable filters. As long as hot air leaves and cool air enters (which it does), all is well.
The intake mechanism is nothing more than a box that snaps out housing a 120mm fan. It is unique in its shape however. It's slightly tilted and the fan grill's "blades" are too. This forces air to go up at a slight angle, providing it with optimal coverage of components and aiming it directly between the two exhaust fans at the top.
Here's the bottom view. Nothing fancy but it works. If you want more airflow for some unexplainable reason, you can always replace the included fan with one of your own choosing.
