Cooler Master Cosmos II 25th Anniversary Edition Review - Product Showcase - Exterior

Once removed from the packaging there she is, the chassis. The Cosmos II 25th Anniversary Edition retained that distinguished and familiar rounded design with the handlebars. In fact it still has the really old Cosmos 1000 feel to it. The size is roughly similar at 344(W) x 704(H) x 664(D) mm / 13.5 x 27.7 x 26.1 inch. The chassis is made out of several elements like plastic, some brushed aluminu, steel and sure the tempered glass side panels. So the all silver and black body form what is the Cosmos II 25th Anniverary edition and is an Ultra size tower chassis that offers lots of space for even the biggest sized motherboards. Motherboard form factors supported are: Micro-ATX, ATX, E-ATX, XL-ATX, SSI CEB, SSI EEB.
 

 
The side panel are made out of tempered glass with a curve in it and they in fact funtion as a door that can be opened much like a car door. We'll show you that on the next photos. Inside there are a lot of fan and radiator mount options. The backside teaches us that this is a serious piece of machinery, on the top, grommet holes for liquid cooling tubing / cable ports. All of them can pass large 3/4" O.D. tubing. Just below them, a 140 mm fan, 1,200 RPM, 19 dBA. Then we spot no less than ten+1 expansion slots, so that would even allow for complex multi-GPU setups in Crossfire or SLI mode. To the far right you'll see a vertical expansion (the +1) slot, you could use that for say rear IO USB 3.0 connector brackets, a fan controller, whatever. All the way below we see the PSU section. PSU wise, you name it... it'll fit as it's extended outwards a little, that will allow fitment of PSUs with a size of 19 CM (a standard ATX PS2 form factor is typically 15 CM).
 

 
To the left side you can see that the panel also functions as a door that can be opened up easily. Rounded lines everywhere including the glass panel which has one bend to give it some curvature.
 


It is a Cosmos, hence at the top and bottom, the traditional handrails / bars that every Cosmos chassis has. These are made out of aluminum. I think its based on automotive racecar roll-crash-bar designs, they are perfectly suited to lifting and moving the incredibly heavy chassis though. As you can see, most of the original Cosmos II design specs have been saved.

Cooler Master Masterair MA624 Stealth/MA612 Stealth ARGB review
Today, we are reviewing two air coolers from Cooler Master: MasterAir MA624 Stealth and MA612 Stealth ARGB. Usually, we had a chance to check the AIO solutions from them, so now it's a good opportunity to study what we can achieve more standardly. This will also be a nice occasion to present two types of cooling architecture, as the MA612 Stealth ARGB is a single-tower, and MA624 Stealth is a dual-tower
