Pros: SIZE (3-way SLI Compatible (youtube.com -> 3-way SLI Crysis cruncher)), CABLE MANAGEMENT (but is restricted in its ability if not using Ultra power supply or ""flat connector"" power supply), BUILD QUALITY ((may feel lightweight due to partial aluminum construction (although some reviewers stated this product was heavy), STYLE ((the case looks very appealing to the eye (aesthetics), TOOLESS ACCESSABILITY AND BAYS (for the most part). Also as a plus it arrived the second day.
Cons: If you've researched this product you know what you're getting so size and weight shouldn't be a problem unless you can't easily lift 17.5Kg/+-40lbs. *Reviewers have stated the case's flawed in its hard drive cooling capacity, this is a slight error as the case now ships with an optional HDD cooling add-on that you can install an optional 120mm fan into which occupies the bottom two 5.25" bays*. Or you can mod your case (YouTube.com -> Cosmos 1000 Case Mods -> Coolermaster Cosmos Airflow Casemod), but you won't need to add these fan mods unless you're running raid HDD's or 10k rpm HDD's and are an overkiller about temp's. The most difficult thing I found with the case was lining up the bottom of the doors so that you can secure them correctly, once you get the hang of it though it becomes second nature.
Other Thoughts: Other reviewers led me to believe this case was gonna be very large and heavy. Upon receiving this product I was surprised as the case isn't as heavy as I was expecting, or the other reviewers are on the fragile side, because I could easily carry the box it came in, let alone when it was out of the box using the handles, and the box comes up just past my knees (I'm 5.8 and 155lbs), but the case is heavier than some other cases in its class and could become cumbersome when all parts are installed. System current and future build: Q6600 to be OC'd, 4gig ddr2 667mhz CAS 5 (getting 4gig OCZ ddr3 1600mhz CAS 7), Gateway proprietary Motherboard (plan to get Asus Maximus Extreme), 400gig HDD 7,200rpm (getting 150gig WD 10,000rpm as well), 8800gt 512mb OC'd heavily (getting ATI's *4870x2* in June, 4870 not a typo), DVD/CD rom (getting Sony/Liteon Blue Ray DVD rom in June), Ultra X2 750W Powersupply, 27" 1366x768 Akai LCD (getting Samsung 2493HM 24" 1920x1200), and now CM Cosmos 1000 case.
