If you are having an epiphany or deja-vu trying to figure out where you noticed this design before, think again. CoolerMaster already has models that, well ... look exactly the same as this one; like the Coolermaster "Cosmos 1000", but you need to be aware there are some very distinct differences. This is the "Cosmos S" model. You take that previous model, change coloring schema, remove the front door and optimize airflow everywhere with the help of meshes and ventilators. Alright, so we already established that the "S" means Sporty. And though that's a little far-fetched, Coolermaster implemented some pretty nice tricks to get exceptionally good airflow into the design. From A to Z everything in this "S" model has been thought through well with airflow in mind.

Compared to the standard "Cosmos 1000" model there are numerous practical changes to be found. For the exterior the chassis is made out of aluminum with a lot of meshes going on, yet also has a different color design. On the inside we'll notice that drive cages have been removed to offer way more space for optical and HDD drives. The mainboard tray is placed in such a way that cables routing can be managed behind the actual tray. Also the chassis has been prepared for water-cooling (we'll show you in the photo-shoot). Next to that a touch-power button. Directly accessible you'll spot that the Cosmos S has seven usable 5 ¼” external bays and four 3 ½” internal bays, measuring 10.5” x 23.5” x 24.7” (26.6 x 59.8 x 62.8 cm). Each frontside bay slide uses a meshed cover, working as an air intake. Besides the traditional rear and front fans, it comes with a total of three fans located at the top, rear, HDD front and then a massive 200mm side-panel fan. The case can handle in total of nice fans; it probably would have been better to call this S model "Storm" as everywhere inside the chassis there is airflow.

While words can't really describe how well that's implemented; the four fans are low noise. The biggest (literally) fan is actually located in the side-panel of the chassis and has a dimension of 20x23xCM! And it's spinning at a conservative 900 RPM. Great stuff to get airflow going over your graphics card(s). In fact, NVIDIA seriously loves branding (read: pimping) the label; the chassis is SLI certified.

And the gorgeous design ... well, that's just pure love. Let's startup the photo-shoot, as it makes explaining everything much easier.

So honestly; I barely finished the introduction and already have a thing for it. As with women; there's more than the outside though, can the Cosmos S continue to impress? Next page please ...
