This review is from: Cooler Master Cosmos II - Ultra Tower Computer Case with Metal Body and Hinged Side Panels
Pros:
Great Structure, Solid Design. Fantastic cable routing system, Creative sliding front door and top to reveal drives and power buttons and fan controls. Bottom mounted and bottom vented PSU. The doors are hinged and can be taken completely off the case (which i realized halfway through my build...this guy doesn't like instructions) Pretty much all tool less for anything that you would want to be tool less. (personally i like my pci cards to be screws not tool less so it was perfect for me) The case in provided with plenty of fans but more can be added (to the side door or top of case) the Cosmos II doesn't actually sit on the ground because of the roll cage like bars on the bottom that are matched on the top. These serve the purpose of allowing the air flow to come from every direction reducing dead zones which create heat, making this design superior to the last cosmos case which you really could only knock it for its airflow. This case fixed that and then some. Having built a system with the cosmos I and now the cosmos II i can say that the cosmos II is the best case i have ever worked with. USB 3.0 and eSATA on the front of the case to boot!!! Really a dream for anyone who loves building PC's
Cons:
The instructions sort of suck. but this seems to be a common theme with cases for the most part, sadly it can really cause some unneeded headaches. Costly but it should be a case that wont need a replacement for a long long time. HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY this crazy mamma jamma almost weights 60 pounds naked so fully loaded its not that easy to move it so be happy where you put it! No removable Mobo tray but im a sucker for those so some may not mind that at all.
