Internal 320 rad install



3 more Yate Loons up top for a push/pull config



Tons of working room (that's not a mATX board )



Pump and res



Everything installed



No lights, bells or whistles. Just a pretty stealth 320 rad install with no case mods required at all.

Weighs in at 50 lbs though.

Nice I'm debaiting going with that case when I do my water cooling setup. That or the Antec 1200 not sure yet. I have the 900 & like it so might do up the 1200 cause I know it'll be lighter than the Cosmos lol.

Looking good though for sure!

I like it. As much as I'm into the discrete looking cases right now it's almost a shame there's no window because the wiring/tubing is done very well and begs to be shown.

I can't say I see the point in water cooling, especially with a sextuplet 120mm fan rad.

I hear you, especially when you consider that the new chips (and those in the pre-production phase) are supposed to run a lot cooler.

That said.... I swap a lot of chips in and out so it's nice to know I'm not going to be hitting much of a wall when I go to OC them.



Are you sure on that? Isn't the 1200 supposed to be a beast in size? I saw a couple of pics on-line a couple of nights ago, but you can't get a good idea of size until you see one in front of you.

The Cosmos S is lighter than the original Cosmos 1000, they switched to pretty well all aluminum construction. It's 13.6 kilo vice 17.2 kilo for the 1000. A 10lb drop is pretty substantial.

Cable management isn't quite perfect, there are still some issues up top/rear, but only with the 8 pin CPU plug. Everything else was a dream to work with without requiring any dremel work.

Damn, son. You make me want to do some serious cable management in my case.

Strangely enough, I haven't really done the cable management marathon required to tie everything off properly. Everything you see is a function of the case right out of the box.

I still need to take the time to pretty up the cables which can't be hidden on the back of the case.

I don't even bother trying to keep the wires tidy anymore, I've been upgrading far to often.

I've gotten fairly lazy too. My Sonata doesn't have a window so as long as the wires aren't blocking anything or getting in the way of fans then I'm fine with it. I went from a flashy "show case" to a quiet unintrusive case.

Well the 900 is an extremely light case to me & I can't see say 6" taller making a whole lot of difference in it's weight. Plus the 200mm fan is just to cool & set at idle you hardly hear it. I'm up in the air on whether to go with the preinstalled rad one or get a dual rad & install it in the front of the case out of sight. Regardless looks like a cool case to me & quite abit lighter than the cosmos for sure. not that it matters as it prolly won't be moving once it's built.

the antec 900 is one of the heaviest mainstream cases available. weighs about 25+lbs. so if its the same construction but bigger the weight is gonna be insane.

Man no way lol maybe fully loaded with all the HD bays filled to the brim with hard drives it might be that heavy hahaha I dunno dude it was half the weight of my full tower Aspire case easy I know that! I even said how light I thought the 900 was & commented on it. I dunno it seemed pretty light to me lol.

Ok I just weighed it fully loaded(I can't beleive I did it but I did lol) & it weighs in at 28 lbs fully loaded with all my gear in it.

antec lists its weight as like 27lb packaged, thats what i was going by. thats still a very heavy chassis (though not as heavy as my gunmetal 380 super tower i was using). my CM690 with way more hardware in it only weighs about 23lbs.

i have worked on a few cosmos 1000 chassis and cosmos s , and i have to say the cosmos s is by far my favorite of the two. cosmos in general are amongst my short list of favorite cases. but i hate godly flashy cases, thats why i use plain but stylish cases like the p182 and the CM690.

Antec = boat anchor

My 1000AMG weighed a freaking TON, like 80lbs fully kitted out. Granted, long after man is extinct that case will probably still be around.

Seriously how is it a boat anchor? I can lift it empty with my damn pinky for christ sake & no doubt it only has a 2 degree variance from any other case as far as stock cooling would go lol. Everything is well layed out in it & so forth. I'll throw up a pic later on of my case fully dressed & it's the cleanest case I've had yet by far. I'm not saying it or any other case is garbage but they are what they are "cases". Period. lol
