Cooler Master Release Cosmos S Chassis

Deciding on a case in which to put all of those carefully thought out hardware choices can be tough, and you certainly aren't lacking on options. Cooler Master has been in this game for a long time, and its original Cosmos case has acheived popularity amongst enthusiasts. Now it has released a new version in the shape of the Cosmos S, with some improvements that I think it is fair to say are aimed at the slightly more extreme end of the cooling spectrum. Rather than the sound damping material on the side panel of the original Cosmos, you now get a 200mm (150CFM) fan for blasting air at your video card/s. The front of the case takes on the mesh approach, and you can now also squeeze three 120mm fans into the top of the case (handy for large radiator setups).

Most other features are very similar to the first case in the Cosmos series, though it naturally gets a bit of a facelift, as well as being put on a diet (Aluminium construction drops the weight about 3kg). Cooler Master also put some emphasis on the touch sensitive power button, something that might seem a bit gimmicky to some, but super cool to others. These changes mean that the Cosmos S will likely appeal to a slighty different type of user than the first revision, with the extra provision for cooling with the large side panel fan and built in compatibility for 120mm x 3 radiators meaning those more interested in keeping things quiet would probably prefer the Cosmos 1000. Hardcore gamers and those with water cooling setups will probably welcome the changes. The Cosmos S should be available at retailers soon. Expect to lay out about $249 for the privilege.
