Anyone have a Cosmos case? What do you think of it?

[BuckNaked]

I recently picked up a Cosmos case, but haven't opened it yet to start my build. I am curious if anyone has built up a system with it, and your thoughts. I am hesitant on it only for the fact I would like to get an aluminum version or at least aluminum side panels if one is in the works. I read in another thread that an aluminum version is forthcoming... but can't find any info... just curious to hear what others say...

No real advantage to aluminum for PC cases except lightness, so why?

It seems like a sweet case, but I've heard mixed results about how effective it is in keeping the internals cool.

This thing is heavy, and I would like to lighten things up just a bit, but I also think if they do an aluminum version there might be some revisions like improved cooling for the HD's and some other small touches.

I really like the looks of the case and the general layout, but still feel there may be room for improvement in some areas. How long it might take for them to implement the improvements is anyones guess. I

I'm liking the (internal) look of the case from what I've seen of various reviews. I just need to know if it can hold an extra long card (8800GTX for instance) as well as 6+ harddrives and maintain cooling....

I'm really thinking about the Antec twelve hundred, but i have no idea when that may actually come out.

The air flow design is great!
Cool air in at the bottom and warm air out at the top.
Just the way nature intended. :thumbsup::laugh:

This is going to be the case for my next build.

The ONLY features I would like to have that aren't there are:

-active hdd cooling.
-removable mobo tray.

These are both things I can live without. Other than that it has all the features that are important to me. I especially like the fact that the external ports are at the top - RIGHT where they should be for anyone who puts their case on the floor. SO many designs put those things low on the case - what a PITA. Plus it is quiet - which is really my top priority as I have two boxes side by side at my house, so this is important.
