Hard disks have plenty of airflow
- Pros: Well built case typical of CM and nicely styled.
- Cons: Two things really ding these for me and I've used the Cosmos series for a LOT of customer builds, I'm talking over 100. The cable management problems created by the side (back) panel horizontal retention mechanism and the vertical panel rib and strut that prevents cables from passing in between the mb tray and side panel from front to back or top to bottom. Proper re-engineering could fix these by moving the side panel retention up higher over the access hole and re-doing or removing the vertical panel rib that has no pass through. Yes, the hard drive cage could stand a little better airflow and the fan mount should come mounted in that position from the factory as well as the case should come with two of those fan mounts and fans instead of just one. I've only built 2 with the Cosmos 1010 but it's identical to the Cosmos 1000 except for the ESA and side panel fan. Instead of the side panel fan it should have a hd fan and cage.
- Other Thoughts: Hard drive heat. If you give it proper attention it's a non-issue. I use either Scythe SFF21F or Arctic Cooling AF12025 PWM fans in the supplied cage and mount it in the mounting point over the hd cage. In my personal rig I have all 6 bays filled and no drive ever goes above 40C/104F under heavy load and are usually around 32C/89F and any modern drive should handle that fine. It's well below max environ specs (typ 60C) for any hd I know of. I also put the same 120s (or 140s) in the top as well as the back and bottom mount so overall airflow should be considered too. Most customers of mine that use Cosmos cases have at least 3 drives and the only pattern of hd failures I've seen have been of the well known problem models and it's not case related. I'll agree the way the case comes it's probably down a bit on flow in the hd cage but it's easily corrected and only some of the cases with exc overall airflow and especially on the hd cages are better but they're also much more noisy.
No Air Flow for Hard Disks
- Pros: 1. Solid;
2. Silent;
3. Looks good;
- Cons: 1. No air flow on hard disks, it will destroy your HDs;
2. Expensive;
3. Heavy
- Other Thoughts: Too bad their is no air flow on your HDs. The case make my HDs extrememly HOT. I have to buy an HD enclosure for my 4 HDs. It's too bad I have to leave the 6 HD trays empty.
Ashamed of Cooler Master
- Pros: Definately a quality built case, silent, plenty of room to work.
- Cons: Was supprised at the design of the Hard Drive rack, absolutely no airflow. Even with the fan mounted on top of the rack, there is only 3 small slits that air can pass through.
Also, the cable management in the case was well laid out, but poorly executed. The only versitile holes are the holes vertical the "Hot box" hard drive rack, all of the holes on the top and side of the motherboard tray are useless (i.e. running the 8-pin from the PSU to the top of the mobo through the back of the case), simply because the way the door latches on the case.(the 3 wires from a fan inhibited the case from closing properly when crossing the latching mechanism).
Could have been much better laid out.
- Other Thoughts: By all means, do not take me the wrong way, I am a manager at a Computer store in Brighton, MI, and I build custom machines all day... I was shocked to see how poorly this case was designed. I stand behind everything that Cooler Master has to offer, and I use their cases for 90% of the machines we build. You would think that the higher end cases Cooler Master Offered would be higher quality, "Get what you pay for", so to speak.
Also, I did not buy this case, it was a customer's that had the machine assembled by another company in Southeast Michigan. The machine had multiple HD failures over the course of 1 - 2 years the customer had it. Mainly caused from HEAT.
If your looking for a silent oven for your next computer build, this would be it.
