Cooler Master Cosmos S Review

Introduction

Computer cases seem to be alive at the moment, what I mean by that is well…they are growing pretty big. This is partially due to the demands of the latest high end hardware, such as SLI and water-cooling. But also, gamers and overclockers are fan boys for large cases. So far, we haven’t really dealt with large cases at Tech-Reviews – - aside from the P190 – - so today; we’ve got another fat ass computer case. Introducing the Cooler Master Cosmos S…

Packaging

The Cooler Master Cosmos S arrives in a black fairly hefty box – - bigger than most case size boxes. At the front of the box is the Cosmos S logo whilst at the back of the box are detailed photos of the case and its features.

Cooler Master Cosmos S Review

Stopping the Cosmos S from being damaged during shipping, there are two large polystyrene inserts protecting the top and bottom. There is a gap between the sides and the box, so they will not be damaged. Once the case is removed from the polystyrene, you will find the Cooler Master – - sealed in a brown fabric pull string bag. Emblazoned on one side of the brown bag is a silver Cooler Master logo. Its unusual packing a case in a fabric bag, as I’ve only ever seen it been done once, that was on an Antec Sonata 550 Plus. However, I do like the idea and it gives a good indication of quality before even revealing the case.

Alongside with the case, there is a whole bundle of accessories:

  • 5.25” to 3.5” brackets
  • A large bag of screws
  • EPS extension cable
  • Bios speaker
  • Lots of cable management ties and clips
  • Warranty information leaflet
  • Installation guide

This is all the accessories you’d need for the installation of a computer inside the Cosmos S. It’s also worth me mentioning that the installation guide is written in two languages, English and Chinese. Furthermore, there are many detailed diagrams showing how a computer is installed in the case and how various parts inside the Cooler Master work.

For this reason, we thought some i5 testing using our trusty CoolIT Domino was in order. Let’s see if the performance from the Domino still survives in this day and age…
