A whopping thirteen 3.5" drive bays
But zero 2.5" drive bays
Top door was damaged in transit
Which may be a fluke
But it doesn't look like a robust design

Very heavy and pricey
On the heavy side
Pricey for the none enthusiast
Very expensive. Tall and heavy. Will not lay flat. Only three 5.25-inch bays. Hot-swappable 3.5-inch bays don't support 2.5-inch drives. Potentially tricky cable and wire storage
Weight
This thing is heavy
Only includes a single LED fan
Cannot lock the side panels
Very large. Very heavy. Very expensive
Only three 5.25" bays
Tangled mass of fan controller wiring difficult to deal with
Fronthinged doors look dramatic but obstruct interior of case when working from the front
Hey. Where's my SATA backplane?
Will not lie flat on its side
So very many fan control wires
Enormous
Unnecessary beeping
Unnecessary beeping.
Heavy chassis
Lot's of front panel wiring to mess with
Lower drive cages make for tight PSU cable routing
Fitment of larger top mounted radiators could cause component installation issues

Six USB 3.0 ports would have been great
The removed eSATA connector from the original Cosmos II could have been replaced with an HDMI port
Cabling can be seen through the tinted window due to the silver interior
All black could still be consider
Heavy - 22 kg
Some aspects not deserving of the price tag - too much plastic here and there
