Cooler Master Cosmos II Review

I would like to thank Cooler Master for providing the review sample.
The Cooler Master Cosmos has been the flagship chassis from the company for quite some time, spawning the Cosmos S and Pure series. Now, after some time, the name is back as the Cosmos II. Updated with all the latest features.

Packaging
Cooler Master packs the Cosmos II in a huge full color package. Considering the sheer size of the chassis, the package is almost too large for our testing table. In the front you will find a partial image of the chassis, while the rear goes into some greater detail about its main features. You will also find an additional image on one side, with the other holding a list of specifications.
The Cosmos II is held in place by two thick styrofoam spacers. A plastic bag is protecting the chassis from fingerprints and scratches. I was actually expecting to see a cloth back as the Cosmos S had been placed in such.
