hmm my spectrum is not good

from my viewpoint this is the return of the "coolermastery" case and methodology, if you've ever worked with the first generation cosmos cases then you would understand why i dont like the HAF series

That's the difference and my problem with Coolermaster (as with Razer). I've come across them too late, and it feels why you can tell the residue of their quality (fanbase for instance) is still around, it's not quite there.
So yea. This is very non-coolermaster for me. In a positive way. I'm glad this is the way you feel that CoolerMaster is and should be, and they've rediscovered their identity.
I hope to share your view :]

Rodney's out with vid too.

I finally decided after a ton of lurking to contribute to the thread! im sorry for the sub-par picture quality my Motorola Droid RAZR is supposed to have a good camera but maybe I was using the wrong setting or something but enjoy!

Got my new keyboard today. ^^
Microsoft Sidwinder X4
I love it, but I need to get used to it. Whenever I go to press control, I hit my macro six key... Not sure how. The keys feel great, it sounds great, it actually reminds me a bit of a mechanical keyboard because of the resistance of the keys. It just feels plain nice in general. A+. x3 I'll post some pictures of my conflicting-led setup here sometime. (I have a blue light on my Fiio E9, a blue light on my USB Wireless, red lighting on my mouse, and red lighting on my keyboard.)

@Spasx :
The Kabuto is terrible, the edges are going to fold up on you here after about a month of use. (I have one.) You should have skipped the Megladon and gone for a better stereo setup imo. Either way, this isn't a critique thread, just thought I'd weigh in on the mouse pad.

Have had the HAF932 since their release and to all those reviewers who "assumed" they would be dusty because of lack of filters they were so wrong .... despite me living in an old dusty house have only had to clean inside once in 2 yrs and that was mainly just for appearances. Goes to show how wrong assumptions can be based on opinions only.

[Skelly]

I would much appreciate it if someone were to point me towards a Cosmos 2 vs Elysium pic/video.

[Drunkenvalley]

Cosmos II is 704mm tall, while the Elysium is "merely" 618. Apparently.

I recently got the X4 aswell. It's a nice feeling keyboard, and I seem to have issues with some of the keys right now, but it will be natural overtime I suspect.

This is my relative new setup as my old computer died last summer. And yes this is my first post so ... Ahoy folks.

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P, Socket-1155
ATX, Z68, DDR3, 2xPCIe(2.0)x16, CFX&SLI, SATA 6Gb

Memory: Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600MHz 16GB
Kit w/4X HyperX 4GB DDR3, CL9-9-9-27, 240pin

PSU: Intel® Core i7-2600K Processor
Socket-LGA1155, Quad Core, 3.4Ghz, 8MB, 95W, Boxed

Case: Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Big Tower
Fans: 1x 230mm Front, 1x 230mm Topp, 1x 230mm

HDD: Western Digital Caviar® Black 750GB
SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), 64MB Cache, 7200RPM, 3,5"

CPU cooler: Antec Kuhler H2O 920 CPU Cooler
Socket 775/1155/1156/1366, AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+, 700~

Currently it works like a charm ... CPU doesn't pass 33 degrees celcius under hard gaming and GPU is around 50-55 degrees celsius or so.

Got a soundsystem that is relatively old but works like a charm aswell.

Front Speakers : Proson Stadium 10 Black
Center Speaker : Proson Stadium CS-5 v.2 Black
Back Speakers : Proson Stadium Monitor 6
SubWoofer : JBL ES250PWCH 12"
Reciver : harman/kardon AVR 235 - AV receiver - 7.1 channel

Think that's about it.

I know the kabuto isn't the best mousepad, but I don't have the room on my desk or the money to get a new one. this is my second one in the past year and I clean them every month or so my last one got kind of bad after about 9-11 months. and I dont wanna speaker setup cause im in skype 80% of the day while playing fps's so I like how you can switch between 7.1 and 2.1 and plus the megalodon is hella comfy =D

I definitely agree; with the Cosmos II being able to handle a dual-CPU motherboard, 10 PCI-E slots, a 360 and 240mm radiator, and 13 hard drive bays, all straight out of the box, $350 is very reasonable especially when you factor in the price of other XL-sized computer cases that can be used for workstations as well as gaming/enthusiast builds.

Pretty sure it was approximately £350 which should be around $500, slight difference I agree however the price isn't bad at all and when i said "go for it" I meant it.

No, it will be $350.

[Drunkenvalley]

Although non-Americans may find the price higher due to poor mix with currencies, as well as taxes, etc. For example: Here in Norway I do have to spend 500 bucks.

[n0cturnal]

Its 500$ in Sweden aswell. Horrible taxes

As with all computer hardware. Nothing new really. I find the pricetag of ~3400 SEK very reasonable considering the case.

Anyway, I'm obliged to tell everyone that this isn't the proper thread to discuss new cases; if you feel you want to further discuss the Cosmos II (or any other case) I suggest you create a new thread. Thanks!

So... how big of a difference would a 7970 have to a 6970?

[Drunkenvalley]

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/509?vs=508
It sees a pretty big difference.

[Uggorthaholy]

Well, this is proof I'm horrible at taking pictures, but I just put this together for a friend.

MOBO - MSi P67A C43 (I had a replacement sent to me, and I upgraded myself to a Z68, so he got it from me for $40.00)
RAM - salvaged from old system - 2X2 GB 1333 MHz
HDD - salvaged - 760 GB 7200 RPM Hitachi
CPU - i5 2500k
GPU - Twin Frozr 560 Ti
PSU - PC Power and Cooling 760W 80+ silver Silencer - got this on sale for $79.99 after rebate.
Case - HAF 912
DVD - salvaged - some generic burner

The intent is to add an aftermarket cooler (A70) sometime in the near future, should he decide to OC the 2500k (he will eventually)
