Posted October 22, 2014 Im due funding for updates from work soon and i want to do a nice mod to last a few years... Im stuck between the style designs of Cosmos 2 and the 900D The 900D has the scale and bulk behind it meaning it will be a nice case to work with however the Cosmos 2 looks significantly more stylish. My plans are to do a Black and brass theme using this as a design influence Yes its a corset Character artist in the Games industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 22, 2014 I've never been a fan of the Cosmos 2 (or any CM case) because I feel the internals never make optimal use of the space available. Go with the 900D. The Enthoo Primo or NZXT Phantom 820 are good alternatives if you haven't considered them yet. Bert & Ernie before squirting spermie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 22, 2014 900d for sure, the cosmos 2 is unnecessary large for what you can fit inside and is ugly IMO Though there are other really nice large cases What hardware are you putting inside? do you need a case that large? they look a bit silly if not stuffed full of goodies Desktop - Corsair 300r i7 4770k H100i MSI 780ti 16GB Vengeance Pro 2400mhz Crucial MX100 512gb Samsung Evo 250gb 2 TB WD Green, AOC Q2770PQU 1440p 27" monitor Laptop Clevo W110er - 11.6" 768p, i5 3230m, 650m GT 2gb, OCZ vertex 4 256gb, 4gb ram, Server: Fractal Define Mini, MSI Z78-G43, Intel G3220, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, 4x 3tb WD Reds in Raid 10, Phone Oppo Reno 10x 256gb , Camera Sony A7iii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Enthoo Primo or NZXT Phantom 820 are good alternatives if you haven't considered them yet. my plans for the cosmos 2 would be to very heavily modify it and yes i have looked in to the Enthoo and NZXT... the Enthoo is fairly resticted for what i have planned and the Phantomes look ugly imo... And its mostly down to styling... my pluses and minus for bot the Cosmos and 900 balance out eachother Character artist in the Games industry.

Posted October 22, 2014 900D, not really a fan of either, but the Cosmos has way too much plastic.

But the cooling is where all the size comes in to play... i intend to use Brass pipes over a mattblack design... similar to the corset in my original post Character artist in the Games industry.

If you want to put work in - then you could make the Cosmos look really nice - and it would look more unique Desktop - Corsair 300r i7 4770k H100i MSI 780ti 16GB Vengeance Pro 2400mhz Crucial MX100 512gb Samsung Evo 250gb 2 TB WD Green, AOC Q2770PQU 1440p 27" monitor Laptop Clevo W110er - 11.6" 768p, i5 3230m, 650m GT 2gb, OCZ vertex 4 256gb, 4gb ram, Server: Fractal Define Mini, MSI Z78-G43, Intel G3220, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, 4x 3tb WD Reds in Raid 10, Phone Oppo Reno 10x 256gb , Camera Sony A7iii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 22, 2014 If you're willing to start hacking at a case, get the Cosmos. It takes a bit of work to fix the few things wrong with it, but you can style it nicely. That and the 900D has some..not so great airflow. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
