Cosmos II Prototype Featured in Maximum PC Dream Machine 2011
Cooler Master provides a first look at the new Cosmos II as Maximum PC's Dream Machine computer chassis of choice for the year 2011. This prototype build was rushed to Maximum PC's doors just in time for the selection process. It proceeded to quickly best the competition to become the ultimate favorite for this year's Dream Machine build. Following this prestigious announcement, Smooth Creations adorned the Cosmos II in chic automotive-grade paint - elevating it to a level of European luxury sports cars. The original Cosmos received the prestigious title as a member of the elite Dream Machine build in 2007. This year marks the return of the Cosmos name to the top with a second Dream Machine title bestowed upon its namesake.
A New Era Begins
Built upon the success of the original Cosmos, the Cosmos II is engineered to ensure that it benefits from the four years following the first Cosmos release. A titan unparalleled by its peers, it showcases a hybrid aluminum construction complete with automotive style aluminum doors and other advances in innovation. This includes the areas of cable management, overall cooling, and chamber-based cooling. It comes with an impressive aluminum build, matte Jet Black finish, and unique new styling. Senior Product & Marketing Manager, Bryant Nguyen, expressed his excitement as he said, "It is with great pleasure that we accept our place as a member of Maximum PC's Dream Machine for 2011. The Cosmos II represents the culmination of efforts from our global teams. We are anxiously awaiting its arrival and we look forward to sharing more information with our users as the release date approaches."
This Maximum PC feature is a taste of things to come as retail customers will be able to obtain the Cosmos II worldwide via online and retail locations in early October 2011.

Visual....(on a CM 690 II, still the "+1" slot is there)
If I recall this is for a bonus item they sell that locks your peripherals down for LAN parties to make the harder to steal. I remember seeing it for the first time on a case with a side panel lock so you would have to do some real damage to steal a peripheral.
And it is the angle. This cans will not be cramped at all.
In my cosmos S I could put 12 hdd easily, and more if i wish... but.... what gamer wants to have such a server? I mean, for a server stuffed with hdd's you ain't buying any fashion case, just a good lian li maybe :)
But I would be willing to spend the money on this because it looks good and has the space I do hope CM puts it in the sub $180 category.
Who pays that much for a case? I got my Antec 1200 for 99.99. Yeah its ugly as sin but it cools like a mofo
This is great! Glad to see CM bringing back the Cosmo case .:) There is a lot of room for improvements since the Cosmo S. I ran into some cable management issues and after installing the water cooling it became rather hard to remove the hdd's when needed. Overall I really enjoyed building a Cosmos. Can't wait to see some reviews on this bad boy! Thanks peet for the inside look.;)
