We are getting to the end of the Cosmos SE review article and it is time to draw the conclusions. Cooler Master has succeeded to build a mini-version of the award-winning Cosmos II which looks very nice, especially with the left side Plexiglas window....

Combination of Steel, aluminium and polycarbonate, Excellent Looks, 2.5″ drive installation on the right side panel, HDD tray design, Ability to install up to 360mm radiator on the front even with pushpull design and up to 280mm radiator on the top,
Restrictive airflow for the front panel due to the HDD tray plate design, Very restricted spacing between the motherboard and HDD area, No hotswap ‘XDock' style design for the 2x HDD tray can be removed via front panel, No mesh on the 5.25″ bay cover,
You have to wonder whom this case is primarily made for? Maybe for a certain class of modders who will end up using modular power supplies with individually sleeved cabling- or flat cabling- and who will replace the HDD trays for a 360mm radiator with...

Since the Cooler Master Cosmos SE is a mid tower case, efficient use of space is a must. The drive trays take advantage of this. Each drive tray can hold one 3.5″ drive and one 2.5″ drive. This allows for massive storage potential in the Cooler Master Cos...
So lets start with the positives. It looks more expensive than it really is with those trade mark bars for the feet and handles at a quick glance you wouldn't be blamed for thinking it was the Cosmos 2. The large side windows and the blue LED stripes arou...
Excellent implementation of the Cosmos look in a mid-tower chassis, Excellent liquid-cooling possibilities, Very well-engineered hard drive bays with multiple uses, Can hold up to 18 SSDs, Two dedicated 2.5" hard-drive locations, Tool-less 3.5" hard-drive
A bit tight within the case, Only the top two 5.25" bays accessible out of the box, No hot-swap on the bottom two hard-drive bays, Water-cooling takes up expansion slot, Two vertical motherboard expansion slots of little use with the included cover, Watch
The Cooler Master Cosmos SE sells for 170 US dollars excluding taxes. European readers will see a price tag of around 160 euros including taxes. Excellent implementation of the Cosmos look in a mid-tower chassis Excellent liquid-cooling possibilities Very...
Cooler Master has been able to release a long list of cases over the past few years from that renowned CM690, Trooper, Silencio up-to the Cosmos, to the gamer oriented HAF and Storm series. Each and every time they hit the nail on the head as CM designs...
Tons of storage and water cooling options, solid case handles and feet, great design.
Space between motherboard and drive area is pretty tight, pick between lots of storage or lots of water cooling, lower cover issues (see review)
The Cosmos SE provides users with a high degree of capability for either storage or cooling performance but unfortunately one must be sacrificed for the other....

The Cosmos SE is another case in the Cosmos line, which Cooler Master made some significant changes since the first version. Just for the record, Cooler Master had the Cosmos 1000, 1010, S, and II. This case looks fantastic on the outside. Cooler Master ...
As with most products, there are good things and bad things. The Cosmos SE has some very nice features that will appeal to a lot of users out there. The abundance of water cooling options are a good thing, but unfortunately, the front mount option comes...
Handles!, Attractive design, Up to 18 places for mounting SSDs and eight to mount a HDD, Options for large front and top radiators, Great clearance underneath for air flow, Easy filter cleaning, Great cable management, Superior fit and finish, Price
Reset button too close to the fan LED button
This is an amazing case. Solid, well-built, and looks great from any angle. A true case for the enthusiast. It really has the "wow" factor and it is a nice compliment to the larger COSMOS II . To some, a computer case is a necessary evil. A cold, sterile ...
