Cooler Master Cosmos 1000

Anyone out there have thiscase?

I really should get myself a new case, since the one I have has really crappy airflow and the addition of new fans isn't an option without a ton of modding to the case - not to mention a ton of headaches in the process.

I want something that's quite and provides decent air flow (which is pretty much anything that you can mount an intake fan on) - I like the look of this one over others out there, but I also want something that'll do the job at keeping things cool.

So I'm just looking for some firsthand experiences with this case - I've read up on a few reviews and they've been decent.

Hi Ya there is someone on this forum that has the Cosmos. I forget

who it is but I think the person is a frequent poster. Neat you might

want to go over to YouTube and see if there are any video reviews

on that case. Rodney Reynolds from 3DGAMERMAN does some

excellent video reviews on various computer hardware. What's cool

about video reviews is you can get a better idea on how much space

you have to work with inside the case.

Yeah it's one of the largest cases on the market and can easily handle 5870's in crossfire.

Well there she is. I told you the wiring wasn't pretty.

Holy c*cks. I envy your workstation. What's your total power draw like?theragu40

id have to recommend the haf 932, its half the price, and has lots of space. those cosmos might be a bit bigger, but i like the feel inside the haf, in otherwords i don't really feel its nessesary to go any bigger. the haf is heavy, but if memory serves me right it weighs the same as those cosmos. and weight being roughly the same, i much prefer it to have a metal shell rather than plasik.

you can't go wrong either way, just depends on how much money you want to spend

there's only 2 negitives i can think of on the HAF,

1. the super bright LED power light, you really have to put a marker to it or disable it somehow, depending on where your case is located. i havn't done it myself, but im sure some would want to.

2. the toolless hard drives are awesome and super easy to use, love them perfect. the drive bays on the other hand, there great except what they really don't point out in the pictures or even from reviewers(if they missed this they shouldn't call themselves reviewers) is that the drives are only held in place on ONE side. SO, when i go to hit the eject button my drive moves a little bit on the other side. however, maybe the reason nobody mentions this problem is because all cases are like this. still i feel its a flaw, and a corner cut to save costs, but id rather have them on both sides for a bit more money. its better than screws i guess, and i soppose a person could put screws in on the other side, but that would defeat the purpose of tooless

weird in all the pictures ive seen it looks like plastik is all over them, maybe its just the way the painted it, either way i don't like that personallymachiavell8x8

Cosmos 1000 nice case but the stock fans for the case are junk an will need to replaced if you want airflow. You will need another fan above the hardrive bays because the Hard disks get warm in the bays without.

and also Cosmos 1000 is a Quiet Style Tower such as antec sonata so it made to reduce noise and great for water cooling setup but in therm of airflow haf 932 will defeat it by lot even at stock fan setups but they are both from same enterprise they just aim different people

yet The Coolermaster ATCS 840 is said to have a much better cable management then HAF 932 But I don't know what you seek if you seek a special looking & quietness or max airflow For GPU / CPU Temp & Overclocking since it more cold such as Haf 932 / Haf 922 /

But the ATCS 840 is still behind HAf 932 it like the Best of airflow and around 140$US to 160$ depending if they on free shipping sales and where you buy it http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2008/10/16/cooler-master-haf-932/4you can look other review but from bit-tech perspective it still one of the best Quality case For Lot of space / Airflow

But the ATCS 840 Sure Look Attractive it Good Stuff i wonder if other review from other website come to a show a HAF 932 vs ATCS 840 for GPU / Cpu Cooling

as for cosmos can't even look inside without remove panel so it a cons but it quiet it was on few test i forgot url but it was quieter then load of case in there Water cooling setup Versus thermaltake Armor cause of it Foam on the Side Panel which ain't made for airflow intake / exhaust but isolate the sound
