4-in-3 hard drive cage is a downgrade from the Cosmos 1000
And not very good
No reset button/touch sensor
24-pin motherboard cable annoyed me
Only one external 3.5" bay cover
No system Reset switch on control panel
4in3 HDD cage not very user friendly
An integrated speed control for the 200mm side fan would be nice
Brushed aluminum side panels hard to keep clean
Hard drive cage somewhat flimsy and not easy to install
Would like to see more fans included
Might be too big for some
I must say
I did enjoy using this case. I have always loved to customize my own and...
No reset switch
Difficult-to-remove drive cage
Large size and top-mounted ports preclude placing it under most desks
Touch sensitive power button could cause issues
Lacks reset button
No removable motherboard tray
Expensive
Cant turn off fan lights
No reset button (why?)
Front covers only held in place by plastic bars instead of metal onces very loose
Big!
Only available in black / silver
No removable mainboard tray
Cable extensions are ugly
Size could turn some away (but why do you want a full tower anyway?)
As I said before, Cooler Master never leaves anything at "good enough", with each new case they are constantly refining and improving to make the best product available to the consumer. I am extremely impressed with the Cosmos S case and would not hes...

Cooler Master has taken the very unique Cosmos and taught it a few new tricks. Gone is the heavy steel construction, which is now all Aluminum. This makes the case around 3 kg lighter than the original. The Cosmos S no longer has a door, but uses the t...

This case is one of the best cases Ive reviewed. Its virtually tool-less, leaving only the motherboard and hard drives needing tools. I would have liked to see Cooler Master include additional thumbscrews for both purposes.The front panel provides m...

Cooler Master certainly out did themselves when they redesigned the Cosmos full-tower enclosure. The new black and gunmetal gray color scheme with sleek curves and futuristic styling borrows queues from both race cars and starships. The overall siz...
Abstract: Can a successor be worse than its predecessor? Usually not, since the engineers who make projects of the new model listen carefully to what community has to say and iron out all flaws. Why such an introduction? Is Cosmos-S better or worse than its pred...
Abstract: It did not take Coolermaster long to develop a successor of their high end chassis, the Cosmos, launched late last year it featured a “spacey” design with innovative HDD bays, many tool less features and provisions for cable management, c...
Abstract: As enthusiast cases go, Cooler Masters Cosmos S is certainly a very well thought-out piece of hardware, taking the already well-designed Cosmos and adding even more capabilities into the mix in an attempt to make it the chassis to beat all chassis. ...
Lots of room for expansion; quiet; mostly tool-less design; quiet; very good cooling
No reset switch; difficult-to-remove drive cage; large size and top-mounted ports preclude placing it under most desks
With a meaner-looking design and improved cooling, the Cosmos S is one of the better choices for performance fans looking for lots of room for expansion, but the original Cosmos 1000 exceeds it in some areas. ...
Abstract: With the RC-1100 Cosmos S, Cooler Master has taken an already well-designed and award-winning chassis, the Cosmos 1000, and successfully pushed it to the next level. Some of the highlights include it being a very roomy chassis, effective cable managem...
