Headquartered in Taiwan, Cooler Master has been building chassis, and other computer peripherals such as chipset and vga coolers, case fans, and power supplies since 1992. With such products as their Stacker series of enclosures, Cooler Master has fashioned quite a name for itself within the enthusiast community by making cases that appeal to every level of computer builder, in both size and price point.
Today we'll tear down the Cooler Master Cosmos S, a case fashioned after the popular Cosmos 1000, yet a case that very much has its own identity.

Inspired by race cars (per Coolermaster’s press release) this newest incarnation of the Cosmos is designated by it's S moniker, or Sport edition. Perhaps they mean sport racing with Ferrari's and Lamborghini's, as the sleek and defined look of the Cosmos S sure enough wouldn't mix well with the drunken crowds and painted up racing billboads of Nascar. Regardless, the polished and aggressive new face is exciting in itself, and we out to see how this new thoroughbred competes with it's more modest and silent sibling, the Cosmos 1000 which we reviewed back in December.
What awesome accessories do I get with my spiffy new Cosmos S? Let's see, screws, standoffs, zip ties and clips for wire control, dust filter for PSU opening, and a nice dust cover for the chassis...
Not quite the extravagant bundle we saw with the original Cosmos, but a better then average bundle never the less. Even still, we do miss that nifty little storage box that held the extra standoffs and screws. It's the little things that count, hopefully Cooler Master has added some new features to the Cosmos S that'll appease our inner geek where the bundle didn't.
