Sleek design. Less quality than the Cosmos 1000 or 1010., 2008-04-06
Pros:
Sleek design. Great for overclockers and water coolers. 3x120mm radiator area on the top under the grid makes it GREAT for cooling. Previously owned Cosmos 1000.
Comparison:
Slightly lower quality side panels and all around quality. (that's slightly).
Front audio headphone port no longer makes faint clicking noise when listening to sound through headphones and hard drive is accessing.
Comes with 1x120mm top fan (out of 3) instead of 2x120mm from the Cosmos 1000.
Doesn't come with bottom 120mm fan that Cosmos 1000 came with.
Comes with front 120mm hard drive cooling fan and intake (Cosmos 1000 lacked)
Lots more ventilation and airflow intake and outtake capability (compared to Cosmos 1000 which used negative inside pressure to cool components... a bad idea for gamers with graphics cards that needed air to push out the back).
Lighter than the Cosmos 1000 by far.
Cons:
The side panel is more flimsy. 200mm side fan is great, but make sure nothing touches it. The fan will easily break if something pokes it while it's in motion. Mine did (which Cooler Master gracefully replaced). Not as much noise reduction as the Cosmos 1000 but still it's a gamer's case. Paint comes off easily on the top handle bars and feet (semi-knife scratches will do the job)
Other Thoughts:
