Last year when the Cooler Master Cosmos was
released you could hear jaws dropping all over the world when the
computer enthusiasts got their view of one of the most advanced
computer enclosures to hit the very active enclosure market.
Our friends at Cooler Master are not ones to sit around on their
laurels, Off to the drawing board they went to make improvements to
Cosmos and what they came up with is an enclosure that takes its
design from some of Europe's fastest race cars, hence the 'S' for
Speed.
Seeing the Cosmos S on display at CES 2008 it was
evident that Cooler Master had hit another home run with the number
of people that were at the booth both in the morning and in the
afternoon. There was also a equal number of reviewers that
were asking when they might be getting their hands on one for a
review.
Now the fun begins as we give the Cooler Master
Cosmos S a once over and then we will decide if the the crown for
best case should be removed from one Cooler Master product and given
to another.
