Great Big Case
Rating: 5/ 5
This case is very very spacious. It will be a big surprise if you don't know "how big" a full tower is. It gives you more room to build your pc though. Almost tool-free. It is quiet considering total 6 fans in my case. The only con is I think the 4 built-in fans are kind of weak, but they are easily replaceable.
Bonus: try to lift the case after you are done building it. You might get a good work-out with it too.
Excellent Case
Rating: 5/ 5
This case is excellent. Keeps my system very cool and is quiet as well.
It is very large and heavy but this reflects the sturdiness and quality of the product. If you are building a gaming system this is the case for you, plenty of space for all of your needs even multiple VGA cards.
I added an additional fan for the hard drives as the system is OCed. I mention this because the fan goes into the bottom of the compartment for 5 1/2 drives which is different from what other reviewers said. Also my case has 1 fan on the bottom which is in the middle of the case, there is an additional intake hole at the bottom of the case beneath the 3 1/2 inch compartment which facilitates air circulation.
Great high tower case
Rating: 5/ 5
This case is well made, high quality materials, looks great. It's also very big/tall and heavy, so if you're used to mid-towers it can be kind of a shock when you first get it (the pic makes it look smaller than it really is).
A real plus is that it has 4 USB 2.0 slots in the front instead of 2, so if your motherboard can support that many (two actual plugs) you rarely will find yourself crawling under the table/desk to plug something in the back because you ran out of front slots.
I found the power supply being at the bottom instead of the top a very good idea, it makes it a lot easier to assemble the CPU fan if you have a real big one (like for a quad-core). It's also very quiet with the noise suppression material built into the doors, I can barely tell my machine is turned on even with all those fans in it.
Another cool feature is the hard drive slots, basically you attach via screws a metallic enclosure onto each hard drive, then you can slide the hard drive in and out by holding a handle on the front of the enclosure. The enclosures look cool and provide the hard drives some extra protection when they are outside the box, you can handle them without touching the hard drives directly and probably would make them more likely to withstand an accidental drop -- that's just speculation though, I haven't tested that theory yet. :^)
Overall I'd highly recommend this case. It's the best one I've fiddled with, and judging by the overall quality of the materials and cool design, I'm guessing I'll be using it a very long time.
Beautiful, Functional, and Practical
Rating: 5/ 5
This is a beautiful, well designed case. The case looks like stainless steel and very heavy, resists dings; not like most aluminum cases that easily ding. Fully loaded, it weighs over forty pounds, and the handles and skids come in handy moving it around. The first thing I did was customize it, removing the heat ejection tunnel, and cutting an 8.5 x 11 window opening in the access side panel; adding an acrylic pane. I removed the oem fans and replaced them with blue led Cooler Master Fans. I added two 12 inch blue modding light tubes on the side panel which bathes the interior with a cold blue glow. My main drive, a 78gb Seagate Ultra Scsi 320 Cheetah 15k drive, for gaming, is mounted horizontal, the way it should be, in the bottom 5 inch drive bay and has its own blue led fan that shows through the front screens. The ultra scsi 320 main drive sounds like a dentist's drill and adds about 2 db in noise when being used. No tools are required in installing the drives, slots have covers with handles and latches. The other four 500 gb drives are in the vertical drive bay slots and have empty spaces between them so there is no over heating problem. I have had three different motherboard and processor combos in this case, so I won't do any bragging to what's in it now, except to say it's good premium stuff. As for the wiring, all the wiring except what is necessary to connect the devices is hidden behind
the mother board which makes a for very neat and clean arrangement; the best I've ever had. There is plenty of room to work, for good air circulation and heat ejection and even with the extra fans, and minus the heat ejection tunnel is still relatively quiet and doesn't call attention to itself. This is a Windows Vista media center computer, which feeds a signal to a projector and 144 inch screen. Nearly all my music and movies are stored in it, and looks very modern and attractive sitting on its bench, drawing attention by all seeing it for the first time. The front door panel not only looks attractive but keeps young, curious fingers from pushing buttons. The front panel access ports are conveniently placed on the top making it a snap for feeding video or music into the computer from outside sources. I have built a lot of computers, and this case is by far the best case I have ever used.
COOLER MASTER COSMOS 1000

Cosmos Case
The only negative thing to say about this case was it was just a bit too small for me to move into.
I am running an ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard, AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz Quad-Core with ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler, ASUS EAH4850/HTDI/512M Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card, SUPER TALENT 2GB DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Memory, all powered by a Corsair TX 750W ATX 12V Power Supply, which installs on the bottom of the case!
Not only is this system fast, but it is quiet! I had to cut the back support panel on my computer desk to make this thing fit, (you might have to call AAA for a tow truck to lift it in place, yes it is heavy) but boy was it worth it! This is a quality made product and it's solid. The only time I used a screw driver was for fastening the motherboard in place, other than that, no tools!
Wire management is a pleasure in this case. The available concealment area was well thought out and a big plus. So all in all this beauty gets 5 stars in my book and I'm sure it will in yours too! Happy Computing!!
