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
Heavy
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

You cant fail to be impressed by the Cooler Master Cosmos II , there truly is no other case quite like it. If you're really in the market for such a large case, then you're not going to be disappointed. Unpacking the Cosmos II for the fist time is a real...
Extensive space for multiple high-end graphics cards, Lots of modular storage bays for 5.25″, 3.5″ and 2.5″ drives, Excellent cooling capabilities with room for lots of fans and/or radiators, Exterior and interior design unlike anything else on the market
It is very expensive, although it is not hard to understand why, It is very heavy, but again completely understandable given its overall size, Unlikely to fit under most people's desk, The Cosmos II is beyond huge,
PriceThere is no easy way of saying this, the Cosmos II can set you back anywhere from £250 to £300 from most major retailers, it is one of the most expensive consumer chassis on the market. Of course the price relative to its quality and of course it's s...
Abstract: Big radiators need lots of space that most enclosures simply weren't designed to offer. We're using Swiftech’s latest triple-fan cooler to test the fitment and performance in four cases supposedly set up to accommodate high-end water cooling setups. CP...
Aesthetically very pleasing, Fantastic quality inside and out, Very spacious even with XL-ATX, Thick swinging side doors, Multitude of controls at the front, Cable management is easy to uphold
Plastic used around edges, Very heavy – 25KG without components, A costly investment
It’s been a long time coming but does the new COSMOS 2 (as its official name suggests) deliver an ultra-tower to the enthusiast? Let me tell you, I was a big fan of the previous COSMOS series and I’ve been eagerly awaiting the COSMOS 2 release. Cooler...
Built to withstand nuclear fallout, Accommodates the highest specification systems, huge physical space inside, plenty of room for cable routing, side door mechanism is brilliant, integrated fan controller, proficient cooling capabilities, watercooling options at both top and bottom of the case,
Very very heavy, Kitguru says: The finest case Cooler Master have made. If they can maintain this quality of construction in 2012, great things lie ahead, Rating: 9.5, Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10, Share, Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Stumbleupon, LinkedIn,
I was extremely impressed with the Cooler Master Storm Trooper case, which I reviewed in November last year. It is a great looking case, and is well designed, inside and out. It also has formidable presence which suit an audience who yearn for something a...
For its time the original Cosmos 1000 was a very impressive case and other than a few minor issues such as not quite enough room behind the motherboard for wiring and a slightly flimsy back panel it still stands up well against a large number of today...
Quality (30% of the total score) Quality wise, no one can doubt that the CoolerMaster Cosmos II is one of the best designed and strongest computer cases that have been ever made. The steel handles and thick chassis ensure the outstanding mechanical c...
