Cooler Master is known for some edgy cases that hit the sweet spot for gamers looking to have aggressive styling in their rig. The Cosmos S was very popular but it was released back in 2007 which means: Time For an Upgrade. Meet the Cosmos II Ultra Tower. Legit Reviews gets an early sample to inspect to see if it lives up to its predecessors legacy.
Cooler Master sent me this case about a week or so ago, and said "keep this a secret until the beginning of January." Well, it has taken every restraint I can muster not to fill the forums of many sites with images of this beast. As you read in the title, Cooler Master has taken yet another crack and making the ultimate chassis to wear the Cosmos moniker. This time, as I see it, Cooler Master went back to step one and did a complete redesign of the original, just that this time it seems there is a no hold barred approach to delivering solutions to all of the past issues, adding a ton of features while re-engineering others, and delivering a new Cosmos that resembles the original, but definitely makes its own statement when in the room.
Today Cooler Master return to the Cosmos family with the launch of the Cosmos 2. This ultra tower chassis features aspects which remind us of the original Cosmos from 2007 but Cooler Master have brought it right up to date with more advanced features and an evolved design. We have one on our test bench so let's see what the case has to offer.
Today Cooler Master are launching their successor to the ever popular Cosmos computer case, an enthusiast favourite now for many years. The Cosmos II is an updated version, brought screaming and kicking into 2012 with a radical new design. The Cosmos II is classed as an ‘Ultra Tower’ measuring a staggering 344 x 704 x 664 mm, able to handle the biggest graphics cards, CPU coolers and watercooling kits. We loved the Cooler Master Storm Trooper case when we reviewed it in November, so we have high hopes that Cooler Master will start 2012 on a very high note.
In Win has just released a new version of their BUC mid-tower case, dubbed BUC 101, which comes with several unique features. Let’s take a look at them.
When it comes to manufacturing computer cases, every manufacturer has its strengths. Thermaltake and Cooler Master have been known to produce excellent PC and gaming enthusiast cases that provide superb cooling with great value. SilverStone has been known to produce cases focusing on design inspiration and quality. Lian Li is a manufacturer that designs fully aluminum cases with some of, if not the best, quality for enthusiasts and professional workstations alike. However, what we see all the more common nowadays, is several of these manufacturers have created sub-brands or subsidiaries that focuses on different goals. Thermaltake created the sub-brand Tt eSPORTS that focuses on fully featured and fully equipped gaming gear for eSports use. Cooler Master created CM Storm back in 2009 that zooms in on "arming the gaming revolution" with a futuristic military based thematic approach on chassis and gaming gear. Lastly, Lian Li created the subsidiary LanCool, also back in 2009, aimed at creating aluminum chassis much like their original line-up, but at a more affordable price. Today, we are looking at the LanCool PC-K9 from Lian Li's subsidiary LanCool. The big question for us today is, has Lian Li kept up their build quality aluminum characteristic designs, while keeping it at a more affordable price? Well, you will have read on to find out!
The Raider is another mid-tower case from Bitfenix with a rubber coated finish. Let’s see if it is a good product.
Some time ago, back when extra hardware wasn't something that was available to me, I had my first go at a Danger Den acrylic chassis build with the Black 21 chassis. If you want to, go ahead and have a look at how limited hardware and installing air cooling into a chassis designed for water can really bring a slick looking chassis down a peg. With that in mind, with this newly developed chassis there will be a full on custom water cooling loop installed into the chassis to showcase it how it deserves to be, and to give the readers more of what is to be expected when reviewing a product that is specifically driven as a chassis to house water cooling out of the gate.
Life progression is an inevitable journey -- one of "two roads diverged in a yellow wood", as Robert Frost would have said. As we all grow older, we generally become more independent, and as such, we buy our own cars, our own clothes, and food for sustaining life. But one of the biggest and single most expensive thing we spend money on is typically some sort of shelter, whether it is a house, apartment, or condominium. In most cases, the younger generation as well as some of the experienced working class these days would prefer a more modern and clean look to a purchased shelter. We expect the quality for the amount that we spend. Now, I don't know about you, but my taste of technology is leaning more and more towards the clean and good looking products, just like a good looking house with a modern interior interpretation. In some cases, this means more money is coming out of my bank account. However, to be honest with you, I don't mind spending a little bit less on certain used products in this area, provided that the product is still in decent and acceptable conditions. In today's case (No pun intended), we have a simple and clean looking chassis from SilverStone -- namely, the Precision PS07. At first glance, it exhibits a clean appearance, but certainly does not look like a fridge. Whether you like this look or not is really up to your personal preference, but what I can tell you is that this little beast can pack quite a bit of quality features for your computer. So if you're ready to find out, keep your eyes peeled!
In computer cases, it's a constant battle between price, function, and style-- as the saying goes, "Pick any two". There are any number of very servicable cases available at $100 or less; if you have $150 in your case budget, you can choose from some excellent full tower cases; and if you have $250 to spend on a case, you can get almost any combination of function and style you could ever want. Beyond that are the super-premium cases, and Cooler Master's latest entry in this field is so special the company calls it an "ultra tower". Benchmark Reviews takes a look to see if the Cooler Master Cosmos II case deserves this designation.
