Here is a countdown for the Cosmos II release for the people who haven't seen it.

http://www.coolermas...anding/cosmos2/


I might be looking into this case for myself, it looks awesome.


Info on the case:

The Cosmos II is fully 20% larger than the older Cosmos S,The PSU and six drive bays are sequestered in a compartment at the bottom of the case, while the motherboard compartment features cable-routing cutouts, hot-swap docks (Similar design to the TJ07 and Corsair Obsidian 800d)They added more tool-less drive enclosures, and room for a 360mm radiator up top. The result is a roomy, well-ventilated chassis.

Thanks for the pictures. It does remind me of a kinda bigger Corsair 600T case.
It seems it could fit the EVGA SR-2 motherboard though

The tool-less front panel looks stupid, but with some mods this case could be great.

I agree. The first was a classic design.

Looking at this new one, it appears to have 11 internal drive bays. The external bays also have hot-swap installed, presumably. My first thought was, "...are 11 internal really necessary these days?" I would prefer more dedicated room for rads, pumps, res, etc. I would hope they engineered this so those bays are removable.

I'm definitely smitten with the Cosmos 2. I have already decided that it will house my next primary rig. I loved all the Cosmos variants to date. The only reason I didn't buy the the original Cosmos model was because I fell in love with Corsair's 800D.

The only problem I have with the Cosmos 2 is that it doesn't ship with a side window. Some folks will be pleased by this of course, but I think the Cosmos 2's design looks excellent with a side window. CM will probably release an alternative side panel that features a window, similar to how they did with the original models. If not, I guess I'll have to mod one myself.

its to big and bulky for me, i would love to mod one but not have one as my main rig unless i got it real cheap. first thing i would do tho is cut a side window in, mayby if i find a new job i might get one but there are alot of other cases that come first.

Exchanged my Level 10 GT for this one.

Thinking that it has a lot of room; I had some troubles installing some of my components like:

If you're installing a 240mm radiator on top, your fan set-up should be on the outerside pulling air from the radiator. (I'm really not comfortable on Pull set-up)

Don't buy a fan controller with knobs on them, since it has a sliding door for bay devices. If you choose to keep it open, the front intake fan will be useless.

Its really big, what I dont like about it: they should have added more clearance on top for more radiator/fan options. Other than that I'm really happy with the case.

If you're into modding, this case is great.

Anyway here is my unfinished rig.
