Cooler Master Cosmos S - Best bang for case there is - 56k

almighty15 · 8 Jun 2011 at 20:27

I'm serious, Just think of other cases that are in it's price range or even cost more.

It's made completely aluminium
It has high quality plastics
It has awesome air cooling
Has un-matched water cooling potential
Has masses of internal space
Is perhaps the easiest case to window mod

Only down side is that it's internals are plain aluminium and could do with powder coating

A sexy looking case

Masses of internal space ( That's a Crosshair 4 Extreme which is bigger then the average motherboard )

it's an awesome case

but for watercooling I'd go for the slightly more expensive Xigmatek Elysium

It's a great case.

Still have mine as a server. Just wanted to upgrade my system to a HAF-X for the better graphics card cooling for my SLI setup. Otherwise I'd still have my Cosmos S sitting beside me.

It's hideous.

It's cramped.

It's old.

The window design looks retarded, and shows as much HDD cage as it does hardware.

It's not hideous. Your opinion I guess.

It's not cramped.

Old yes I agree.

And the window design looks fine. Again just your opinion.

To be honest I don't like the CM Cosmos S. I think the style is the last PC style of cases. I would prefer to pay a little extra for a case more suited to me.

All to their own.

It appears to have a roof rack. Never really figured out what they're for on estate cars, NO idea what they're for on a computer case.

It makes it a hell of a lot easier to carry with those roof racks on it.

Expansion slot for car roof racks

But in all seriousness, easier carrying at LAN.

Wasn't that the idea of this thread? For people to voice their opinion? :rolleyes:

Phenomenologica · 8 Jun 2011 at 22:24

I imagine they do make for easier carrying. Not a fan of them stylistically, though. The whole case is a bit curvy for my liking, but each to their own.

1. It's cramped? Right :rolleyes:

It has A LOT more internal space as a Haf-X and pretty much any other case in its price range

2. handles are good! Mine weighs a ton!

3. Old style, Perhaps a little

4. Window design is retarded? It took 3 mins to window mod that case.

In stock form with NO mods at all you can fit 2x 360mm radiators and 2x120mm radiators in this thing!

That's something that 99% of cases can't do without some form of cutting.

I just looked at the Xigmatek Elysium and it's not nice looking case, just too bland and boring inside and ewww... those horrid grommets

Not to mention steel construction

That looks cheap and nasty..

Confused Stu · 8 Jun 2011 at 23:15

The case isn't personally my cup of tea, but you have done a fantastic job of making it look good. Nice job there mate.

Yes, and I voiced my opinion also. :rolleyes:

Nothing wrong with that I guess.

I was personally disappointed to see the CM Stacker 83n range come to a stop when they brought the Cosmos series out, I preferred those and still have one for my old PC. It's old from a technical standpoint, but if they were to revamp and relaunch a new model of that range I'd be all over it like a rash I think. The black one was especially *** (edit: hah! who'd have thought that 'for the win' initials would be censored as a bad word.. I guess it is a kind of tacky americanism though

).

Where can you fit 2 x 360 RADS? I have one in the roof of mine but have failed to see where I can fit another without some kind of cutting.

I like the Cosmos S, had it for a couple of years and still looks good.

Evoss · 9 Jun 2011 at 08:47

I agree, that xigmatek looks tacky.
