To fit the power supply, first remove the protruding section at the bottom of the case. The power supply is then bolted into this panel and slid in from the back.
The ADATA 1200W unit had no problems fitting into the rear of the case, with the cables fed up through the rubber mounted holes into the compartment above. Obviously SATA and MOLEX cables can be fed through the side panel and around the rear of the motherboard tray, to keep visible clutter to a minimum.
The Cosmos II case can handle a staggering amount of hard drives, and we used the middle section to mount our 2.5 inch SSD drive. Each of these trays support both size of drives, without the need for additional adapters.
The drive can then be slid and locked into place, as shown above.
Thankfully there is a massive amount of routing room in the Cosmos II case because with so many fan control and LED power cables, the situation can quickly turn very messy, as shown above.
We want to install a dual width radiator in the top of the Cosmos II. Gaining access to the top section of the case is easy enough. Simply remove a single screw and pull the top panel off, from the rear.
With the Cooler Master fan out of the way, we can install our radiator, which we did from the inside as shown above left. Two Corsair fans were then attached from the outside of the case, set in an exhaust position. There are handy little holes close to each fan section for feeding in the power cables. The outer protective mesh cover can then be reattached to hide the fans from view.
The Cooler Master Cosmos II is an absolute joy for a system builder, thanks to the copious space around the motherboard tray. We didn't experience a single problem when building this system, which is a point I don't often make. Everything is well laid out, with room in all sections of the case for fitting components, routing and hiding cables.
I think that looks awesome, the original was great too
that is one hell of a case, but the weight would put me off. maybe they should have used wheels on it?
I prefer the looks of the storm trooper case, but this is very attractive, I dont think it will be less than £200, even though they tend to be competitively priced cases.
good job
I almost bought the storm trooper but im glad I waited now for a while, even though I had no option due to spending all my money on christmas presents.
This looks good and I plan on watercooling this year too, so ideal. the weight doesnt bother me, once its built, it will be sitting in my room.
With a price tag of well over 250Euros (just like the original) i would also put that in the cons……
I hope they’ll release a full tower companion to this..same design just a tad smaller and more affordable
Hi Ted. Quite a few people have mentioned this so im sure they will take it onboard.
Nice review seen it listed in the UK for £330 – guess I will need to get saving!!
