Default Cooler Master Cosmos Case Review


Leveraging on their success with the CM690, CoolerMaster introduces a new chassis aimed at enthusiasts who expect nothing less than the extraordinary. Stepping up to the plate is the CoolerMaster Cosmos which makes its entrance into an already burgeoning enclosure industry. It is an industry where manufacturers strive to separate themselves from the next by offering new features and unique innovations to entice the unwary enthusiast into a purchase. With the introduction of the Cosmos, CoolerMaster hopes to redefine what it means to own an enthusiast level enclosure.

Very nice review of an above average product! The review alone made me want to buy one, much less the case itself!

Of course, if I were to buy anything computer related right now, the wife would beat my ass.

I'm actually using this case, at least temporarily.....because I wanted to see how well it worked.

Pros:
Its a solid case, well built and stylish. Cooling is decent considering the emphasis on silence.

Cons:
Installation can be a pain, no removable motherboard tray means installation can be a frustrating experience. Cable management is a PITA.....Cooler Master could have made channels, or less padding behind the motherboard tray for cable stowage. The water cooling ports (For tubing) are a waste. HDD trays need active cooling.

Overall, its a really nice case. I don't like enclosures with tops that are not flat/level.....most of us like to stack things. The top of the Cosmos means you cant stack something like an external W/C kit.

Nice review! I myself go for more squarish enclosures (ha) but it looks alright!
