5.0 out of 5 stars Sleek design. Less quality than the Cosmos 1000 or 1010., April 5, 2008

By	Holly H. Stiegel "- (Her son, Raiden)" (Albany, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Pros:
Sleek design. Great for overclockers and water coolers. 3x120mm radiator area on the top under the grid makes it GREAT for cooling. Previously owned Cosmos 1000.

Comparison:
Slightly lower quality side panels and all around quality. (that's slightly).
Front audio headphone port no longer makes faint clicking noise when listening to sound through headphones and hard drive is accessing.
Comes with 1x120mm top fan (out of 3) instead of 2x120mm from the Cosmos 1000.
Doesn't come with bottom 120mm fan that Cosmos 1000 came with.
Comes with front 120mm hard drive cooling fan and intake (Cosmos 1000 lacked)
Lots more ventilation and airflow intake and outtake capability (compared to Cosmos 1000 which used negative inside pressure to cool components... a bad idea for gamers with graphics cards that needed air to push out the back).
Lighter than the Cosmos 1000 by far.

Cons:
The side panel is more flimsy. 200mm side fan is great, but make sure nothing touches it. The fan will easily break if something pokes it while it's in motion. Mine did (which Cooler Master gracefully replaced). Not as much noise reduction as the Cosmos 1000 but still it's a gamer's case. Paint comes off easily on the top handle bars and feet (semi-knife scratches will do the job)

Other Thoughts:
Tested with: video card: eVGA 8800GTS G92 512mb Overclocked to 800/2000/1000 Idle 45c Load 52c
Processor: Q6600 @ 2.92ghz on Zalman 9700 @ 38c idle 55c load
RAM: 4GB Corsair XMS2 RAM
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500gb
Mobo: Asus Striker Extreme

5.0 out of 5 stars If you need space, this IS the case!, March 8, 2009

By	Forethought (Redondo Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This is one VERY attractive case. Soft red back lighted touch controls complemented by a similar glow from behind the front mesh panel is both striking and subtle. Aluminum construction makes case is significantly lighter that the standard Cosmos. I don't find the side panels at all 'flimsy' given that they are lightweight aluminum sheet.

The case has plenty of space and great cable routing options - many cable ties are included. I'm running it with 2 Sapphire HD4870 1GB cards with no clearance problems. (These are huge cards with heat pipe cooling.) The only issue may be finding an appropriate CPU cooler. A Cooler Master N520 just fits - side panel clearance maxes out at about 140mm with the side fan installed.

One other nice touch - the case includes motherboard to power supply extension cables to accommodate a bottom-mounted power supply. The Zalman ZM850-HP 850W power supply didn't need them but they'll be a lifesaver if one of your power cables is just a little bit too short! (BTW, not only does a bottom-mount power supply stay cooler but it really improves the balance of this tall case.)

Excellent job, Cooler Master!

4.0 out of 5 stars an amazing case, February 11, 2009

By	husker "Powered by iNsEcTO!" (Costa Rica) - See all my reviews

this is a huge case, packing was nice, air flow runs great, specially if you buy 3 more 120mm fans, a lot of space to fit anything.
the only complain is the huge 200mm fan in the side of the case, it doesn't move so much air that we can say, but it's cool anyway.
I bought a zalman 9700 and it fit without problem , i've heard a lot of people saying that their coolers didn't fit due to the huge fan, but they didn't review the size of the case and make sure if the cooler they wanna buy could fit in it
I like it a LOT, you can see inside it in the night, that's cool, the touch pad panel is great, one touch and the computer turns on, touch it a little and you will have a reset button.
