Coolermaster Cosmos II actual pre-production model photos leaked

[alexis2044]

This is a pre production mockup which means there might be slight changes to the final product. It is said to be released around October (at least in Greece), at a competitive price tag.

I'll wait for word on pricing to commit to saying anything, but at this point it looks like a decent case. That fan snap over the second hard drive area will surely get them some business among enthusiasts who feel the need to cool drives.

I'm a little confused about the apparently lack of a side fan or place where one could put a side fan, but maybe that's coming in the final design. #1 spot for trapped hot air.

dream machine 2011 is built around it and tey quoted a price tag of 320$ ...

If you'll notice the left side panel has vents up towards the middle, meaning there will likely be space/attachment for a fan behind there. Not too crazy about the front panel design though. The curved side panels look like they've made room behind the motherboard tray to run wires, that was a huge problem with the original Cosmos. Should also have a straight style front door like the original model for cleaner lines. Plastics, meh.

$320, JhC.

Really digging this thing.

[jasonelmore]

Is there a removable Motherboard tray? i cant tell from the pics. That was the only real gripe i have about the original Cosmos S design. Also, nice to see Tri SLI support

[mav2000]

Nope, does not look like it and thats the main reason I like the ATCS over the older Cosmos. That siad, this looks like it will hold a 3x120 and a 2x120 without modding.

Looks pretty nice, always been a fan of Coolermaster, they are usually my #1 choice for cases. Would like to see the side panel, hopefully it will have vents because I don't think the previous Cosmos did.

another water cooling case

[almighty15]

My main grips

- No window
- Ugly looking front USB headers and front audio, Cover them up cooler master or better yet, Get rid of them altogether! Not needed by 90% of gamers.
- Hot swap drive bays, Nice for people that need them but are they REALLY needed for PC gamers? Seems to me like all they'll do is add to the cost.
- 5.25" bays look good but need the fast fit buttons all the way down, There's only 3 and it look a bit silly with nothing else below them, continuing them all the way down would improve it a lot looks wise.

[Etihtsarom]

Oh no, if the hot swap drive bays are there, top and bottom, that would kick ass.

[endlesszeal]

At first, i liked it because ive always liked the Stacker and Cosmo series, but then i saw that the 5.25" bays were exposedl; i thought ew. then i noticed the shield that slides up and down to cover it.

man this is a nice case. id choose this or a corsair 800d.

[defect9]

dammit, i haven't even finished my Cosmos 1 build... I'm so slow lol.

a nice all around case from the looks of it, but the price feels prohibitive to me.

[zalbard]

Is it just me or there is a heap ton of plastic instead of aluminium?
Other than that, it does look really nice. Having 10 expansion slots is great!

[Stewie007]

Looks nice, but probably too big for my desk. Also too expensive...... Still it looks like a nice case.... but for 320 it better have a sliding motherboard tray. I don't understand why they will have the sides swing open like doors, but they won't include an equally quaint motherboard option in a 320 dollar case. Seems anticlimactic to focus on quaint over useful. Doors are quaint. Sliding trays are useful.

Pffft, I guess if you only need one hard drive mount it'd work. Someone needs to make a REAL case for those of us still using 56" inch drives.

so far it looks like you can fit a 360 AND a 240 rad WITHOUT modding and loosing all your HDD trays. if so consider me instantly sold. also vented side and possibly stealthed sidepanels fans and a major plus. I loved my 700D but modding it for a 240 RAD was a pain and the thing is overall starved for airflow overall. this looks to be the answer to my wildest dreams.

I'm not sure what you're referring to.

[SabreWulf69]

Still prefer the Lian-Li PC-V2120, as they are in a league of their own. Don't like all this plastic on this case, and the design is yuck and anything but elegant. Only CM case I like is the CM 690 II Advanced for it's ability to pack so many features into such a small package. Pass on this one.

[davidkozat]

I like!! Ill be upgrading my Haff 942 when this come out!
