Coolermaster Cosmos 1000 ChassisCoolermaster Cosmos 1000 - The Gargantuan Steel Monster
Coolermaster has positioned the Cosmos 1000 to be the successor of the original CM Stacker enclosure. This casing boosts some pretty unique features for a case this size, with added emphasis on noise dampening and insulation. A Steel and aluminum hybrid, the Cosmos 1000 weighs a hefty 18KG, and you can imagine how heavy it'll be with all the components thrown in! In this review, we will be taking the Cosmos apart and give you a piece of our mind on this steel monster.

I can't understand why the score (80/100)? Its heavy. Then you should low the score by point or 2 maximum. Maybe even 5 ponts if it weights absolutely too much it's overbearing ie. about 100kg's.
First of all, you should have told people even before starting to review: This is the 3rd watercooling-ready enclosure of ALL time (where could be assigned a standard dual 120mm watercooling kit without doing any modifications). Other two are CM stacker and Aerocool Baydream.
Not important? Find out how much those radiators are sold? Few millions? Millions have been drilled holes to their cases for years and.... desperately waiting good enclosure. That's why it's really like winning a lottery to finally see this kind of case available. Many have lost their hope (not me, I have baydream). =)
Why not do proper review? Noise? Airflow? Temperatures? Cabling? Fans; are they good? Finish (are there sharp edges)? etc. etc.
Whatever the reason, then you shouldnt review it in the first place. Btw, watercooling is not so rare nowadays.
There are more enclosures out there that can accept a dual 120mm radiator than you think. I didn't find it necessary to tell them that, that's for sure. IF you're not interested in this article, too bad. I do not need you to lecture me on any aspects. Thanks.
