Summary: Great Case
Comment: Have used several cases for custom builds in the past and this is by far the best to date! Excellent details and more than enough room for anything. Case is heavy and large but looks great and functions even better.

Summary: Know what you are buying, this is no ordinary case....
Comment: This case does very well for keeping quiet. The foam padding on the side panels keeps it so quiet that I had to play music at night just to keep my sanity because there was no hum or clicking sounds in my room. It is not designed for ultimate airflow, due to it's quietness, and therefore if you put super high-end parts in it, they are going to overheat. If you want to use this case and use hot parts, there are changes you can make to improve the cooling, but you should know a little bit about airflow if you plan to do that. Firstly: the top fans are 120MM, but they will fit 140MM (holes for both sizes are present). The bottom intake is a 120MM and should probobly be improved to a higher airflow fan. You wont ever have to worry about the power supply, it has it's own dedicated intake and exhaust. The hard drives can be cooled, but you need to arrange them so that they get air (each person's setup will probobly be different, you'll just have to feel it out). Adding a fan on the outside of the HD cage, blowing towards the graphics card has been reported to give the Hd's a good airflow. I found my Hd's to not get very hot (1 10kRPM, 1 7200RPM About 40C each) being kept in the top far left and far right cages, without the aforementioned additional fan. The case is deceptively large. It is a bit wider than most full-tower's and about as tall. It doesnt offer too much room for creativity in the wire-tucking department, but it is not meant to have a window and look pretty, it's made to look professional and perform extremely well.

Summary: Cosmos Case
Comment: Case is very impressive. And very big! Guess I didn't realize that it was a full case, but no matter. Components were installed with ease. Impressinvely quiet. Overall A+

Summary: Quality Quality Quality!!!
Comment: As mentioned, the case has plenty of space inside. After afixing the cables to the back panel (shared with the motherboard), I was left with very easy access to any point inside the case. Actually, this is true without having to secure any cables - it just looks neater. Below are the things I considered to be most important in purchasing a higher end case:
1. Temperature - My machine now runs between 69 and 79 degrees F.,not Celcius. I have yet to see it reach 80 degrees.
I'm running a dual core 2ghz with 256mb video card, four hard drives and a DVD burner, powering it all is a cool master 750W PS.
2. Long lasting - This is a very will fit case. The side panels are released by pulling up on lever at back of the case, then simply put the panels aside. What is left is total access to everything inside. No more need to slide the tray out of the case to get to the motherboard. No more fighting ribbon or power cables. No more unintentional unseating any of the small cables which run to the power button and other functions on the front faceplate.
3. Noise - Four fans, a very high powered processor cooler/fan, hard drives, Power Supply... all very quiet when the panels are put back in place. Much quieter than my last case while using the same guts.
I can't think of any shortcomings. The locking mechanism on the hard drive bays seem a little flimsy but only time will prove this to be an issue. I don't think it will as I don't intend on removing and reinserting drives. Perhaps the only other possible negative is that the case is heavy. But then, that could be a testament to quality construction.
If the three bullets mentioned are what you also consider to be the most important traits for a case, congrats - you've found it!

Summary: Nearly Perfect
Comment: This is a terrific case that is nearly perfect. What would have made it perfect was if it had active cooling for the hard drives. Out-of-the-box, the case has no fan directing air over the hard drives. What that means is that if you have multiple hard drives--I have four installed so far--those hard drives will run hotter, which may negatively affect the drives. The solution (which is more of a preventative measure) is to move the snap-on intake fan with bracket from the bottom of the case to over the hard drive cage, which reduces the number of expansion slots, and to obtain another 120mm fan to replace the intake fan at the bottom of the case. Otherwise, the case is perfect.
