Which do you guys think is better overall? Based on cooling, cable management, and everything else.
just look at like...10 reviews and read the conclusions, or the whole thing.
Cooler Master makes very good cases. I've always liked the Cosmos. Neither of them are bad, but the Cosmos case satisfies my taste better.
would the cosmos still be cooler even if i replace the side panel with a clear window? I wouldn't have that big side fan then.
Obviously it wouldn't be as cool, lol. What kind of hardware do you have?
why not put the fan on the window?
if your gonna go through the...trouble?...work?...enjoyment of putting in a window, might as well put in the fan, you can use the material you cut off the side panel as a fan protector (unless you dun like how it looks)
i just looked up the cases and yeah, i would go with the cosmos, even if you put a window on there, you'll have more than enough cooling for anything, if it gets warm, just put in more 120mm fan's, there's tons of spots for them
But how am i supposed to put a side fan in when there's no vent on the window?
Coolermaster sells a separate side panel with a window btw
you can do it by simply cutting a vent on the window, it can either be a hole the size of the desired fan with a fan guard, or a series of holes or slits that the fan can breath through, with mounting hole for the fan.
*edit* by the sounds of it your not modding the case to put in the window and just using a kit to put in the window in, so in that case, its weither or not you feel like doing some custom work on your case
theres a cosmos case with a window on it
Try checking out the Antec 1200.
i like the 1200 better than both.. but, if you really had to choose between them, get the cosmos s.
Seems like everyone has a friggin Antec 1200 though. Go with the Cosmos; be different. :p
people have them for a reason. they're damn good at bringing in air while looking good at the same time. not many cases can do that, especially full tower cases.
I found the one i was looking for :)

yeah, just cuz everyone has a 8800GT doesn't mean I shouldn't get one.
i really like the antec, its good air flow and i like the way it looks but truthfully i think the Cosmos is probably a better quality of case, iv messed around with my friends one and they are really well built. i haven't used the antec (it will probably be what i use next) so i really cant say for sure, its just what i suspect.

Yeah but nobody cares what your card looks like. My point is the same old things get boring. But hey, to each his own.
