The Photos

Over the next pages we'll show you  photos of the product raw and nekkid. The images were taken at 2560x1920 pixels and then scaled down. The camera used was a Sony DCS-F707 5.1 MegaPixel.

We, as always, start with packaging. The Cosmos S is well packaged in cardboard box, protection foam and ..

Yes, it's nicely wrapped in a bag. It helps preventing scratches, yet also has a practical side effect, you can lift the chassis from the box in like 2 seconds. No weird Ninja maneuvers have to be dealt with to actually get the case from the packaging (oh come on, we've all been there right?).

Once unpacked we still see that the upper handle-bars, front panel & top are protected with plastic. It's practically impossible to damage the chassis during transport (yes practically doesn't mean can't). At the front-side you can access seven 5.25 bays , one 3.5). The Optical drive bays 5.25" shield covers can all be removed easily without taking the whole front panel off. Its not a killer feature, it is a nice addition though.

Sjitzu (bless-you) that looks nice, eh? You'll quickly spot the easy-carry bars on the top and bottom. The bottom bars function as stands rather than handles, you might call it the chassis roll-bar construction. The chassis for the biggest part has a aluminum finish, the exterior of the case just looks spectacular.

Opposed to the Cosmos 1000 model there's no door at the front, instead you will find two hinges ...  we'll explain later. Let's look at her toosh.
