Introduction

I would like to thank CaseKing.de for supplying the review sample.

CaseKing is one of the few companies out there, which will not just sell anything. They only offer hardware that performs well and is of high quality. The shop offers quite a few exclusive parts and devices from all around the world and it is also the official distributor for a long list of well known manufacturers. Their assortment has grown greatly in recent years, while great service and support is still a very important part of the shop philosophy. The website may be in German, but they do ship to most european countries. One of the companies of which CaseKing is the distributor for is Cooler Master, so you will surely get the lastest and greatest from that manufacturer at CaseKing.

We have the pleasure of reviewing the Cooler Master Cosmos S, which is an evolution of the Cosmos we reviewed here. It is a bit bigger than the Stacker 832 and features a few additions, while Cooler Master has chosen to remove other extras like a removable mainboard tray or BTX support. The Cosmos S combines some of the strong points of the Stacker series with the award-winning design of the original Cosmos.

Specifications

Packaging

The package of the new Cosmos S is big, no strike that - it is huge! The original Cosmos box has the usual white backdrop and has the case image on the front. With the Cosmos S, there is just an "S" shaped glow and the name of the case up front. It simply adds to the hype of the chassis. The rear has a small image of the case and also shows some of the highlights when compared to the original Cosmos. Both sides of the black package list a few more features and recommendations for the case.


Cooler Master has opted for Styrofoam spacers to protect the case during shipping, but has also packaged the case in a big brown cloth bag. Certainly a first for PC cases. While the bag is definitely enough to protect the case from scratches, the rough surface would become a danger to the case itself, so the Cosmos S has been placed in a thick plastic bag itself.
