Cooler Master Cosmos C700P review - Product Showcase - Exterior

 
The front panel features a rather rich utility / IO panel on the top that includes USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type C x 1, USB 3.0 x 4, Fan Speed & RGB control buttons, Audio In & Out (supports HD Audio). 

 
The IO panel is exposed, some like that other do not, the previous model for example had a latch to cover up a thing or two. I am fine with that but also realize that dust can be collected in the USB ports in this specific angle. There actually is a fully fledged fan controller available, unfortunately only two modes, low and high. We'll discuss the fan noise a bit more later on as on the LOW mode you can still hear the chassis (slightly). 

 
Also, Cooler master has implemented a pretty far fetched LED system that lights up this IO cover and the bottom feet. You can connect it to a LED strip connector on your motherboard to control with ASUS/MSI/Gigabyte software. But a regular controller is on board as well. You can have the LED system cycle through the primary colors, or set it static to one color. We'll show you that in the final build photos though.

 
We quickly move back to the top, as the upper side can be removed. Just grab the back side and pull it upwards and you can access the fans / radiator or whatever you'd like to do there. Very handy.
 

 
The front side of the Cosmos C700P has a bezel, at the top side you can pull it towards you, it'll stick that in a 30 degree angle (to access the optical drives). Or pull it at the front and take it out completely to access the dust filter as shown above. 

 
At the bottom we again see a dust filter, at the front side you can pull it out, it's lengthy as it extends to the entire range of the bottom.
