Coolermaster turns case design on its head

Computex 007 Power shift
Friday, 8 June 2007, 10:26
COOLERMASTER HAS turned PC case design on its head with its new Cosmos range.

One of the first things to note inside the box is that the firm has shifted the power supply unit (PSU) from top to bottom of the rear of the case, a position it says which makes more sense in managing the air flow within the unit.

Above the PSU, the firm attaches a wind tunnel which guides the air flow over the top of the graphics card and out the back of the system.

Coolermaster displays a couple of new patented design tweaks in the box. The push-button drive bay attachments are neat and make swapping drives a simple, screw-free procedure.

Another design patent the firm claims is an adjustable lid that can sit on top of a fan to make changing the direction of air flow a cinch with the flick of a finger.

With decent sound-proofing and a very plush finish the case is a very desirable beast which displays a degree of intelligence and thought in its execution that is sorely lacking in some of the other boxes we have seen here.

It will cost around £120 when it arrives in the UK. µ
