For those of you who think the Cooler Master Cosmos S is a bit on the loud side. It has a sibling called Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 which is more oriented towards quite computers. It’s basically the same case as the Cosmos S but with some alterations. It sports soundproofing on the sidepanels. Six 3.5” “housings” (for lack of a better word) with rubber grommets to reduce vibration. As for cooling it comes with 4 semi-quiet 120mm fans, two mounted on the top, one rear and one on the floor of the case with some kind of funnel so you can choose where you want to direct the air. And there is an optional fan mounted on top of 3.5” bay, although it takes up one of the five available 5.25” bays.
