Dang, I'll bet it just about equals my X6 AMD output for probably HALF the watt burn, right? ;) :P

Here is another Micro Center deal that is not limited to in-store only :-bd

Antec High Current Gamer Series 900W PSU $103.99

Good today only from 10:00 AM to 12:59 Pacific time only. Limit 3 per household. $15 per unit. If you want to get some SSD this is a good one. I have one in an I7 2600k and love it. Just make sure you order the adapter for mounting. It does not come with one.

Its about the same final price as when I got mine. The difference is now you don't have to jump through any hoops to reach that price... :P

Interesting! What are the advantages over the HAF-X that I have been using?

Edit: The more I look, the more I want. But I need more details. It looks like this was priced at $350 vs. $200 for the HAF-X. Aside from more HD bays, and more fans (but smaller), what is driving the cost difference?

Bigger! :p
HAF X: 9.10" x 23.20" x 21.70"
Cosmos II: 13.5" x 27.7" x 26.1"

Theft proof! (too heavy to steal) :D

11 slots for GPUs

More mounting locations for more fans with a built-in 4-channel speed controller

Supports larger mobos

etc.

Cool. I though I had standardized on HAF-X. I really like having R-O-O-M to install things, change things, move things around...all WITHOUT cutting my hands. But I think I have a new standard. :D

About the fans though, how is the noise? The thing I really like about the HAF-X is that it uses really big and QUIET fans. How is the nose level on the Cosmos II in comparison?

The Cosmos II is also made by Coolermaster and would use the same Coolermaster fans so shouldn't be much difference.

Well yeah, but the kind of fans are very different. The HAF-X uses a couple huge fans, spinning slower. The Cosmos II uses normal sized fans, and lots of them.

Nope. The Cosmos II has one front intake 200mm fan pre-installed plus a second mount for a 120m fan. The top fan mounts accept x2 120mm fans, x2 140mm fans (my setup) or x1 200mm fan. Rear exhaust has a pre-installed 140mm fan but also accepts a 120mm fan. Lower HDD cage has x2 pre-installed 120mm fans. Other 120mm fan mount points includes rear facing GPU fan and x2 side GPU fans.

Separate cooling section for PSU, built-in multi-fan controller, room for 2 240x120mm rads and most importantly..... Style, style style....!!!!!

2nd edit: I think it also has wider internal dimensions.

Stupid newegg let me down. Their comparison messed it up. There are two different fan sections. I missed the second section at the bottom, completely unrelated to the section at the top. Grrrr.

Thanks for making clear what they did not. :cool:

No problem. If you want a better idea of what the case offers take a look at the video in the overview section of their product page.

Another good video review is this NCIX one (its funny too)

Come on now, F$ - THOR V2 has ALL them style marks! :)) :D heh...just kidding. I admit it's not nearly as sexy as your Cosmos, but it does get the job done. Here's what I'm thinking, tell me if I'm wrong - I think this is a case for those trying to stuff more than 3 high end GPUs in a cruncher. If you're going to go for 4 BIG GPUs, 24/7 crunching, then this is the case for you. Otherwise....the difference in price between my case and yours will buy you some nice crunchin' hardware! :cool:

True, true true. To be honest, I started saving up for the case back in January and the only reason I got it so soon was that 2/3 of the cost was a sort of early father's day gift. Otherwise I'd still be wishing.....

Maybe this will help you put the size difference into perspective:
WxHxD

Thor V2: 9.14" x 22.84" x 21.89" = 4569.7 cu. in.
HAF X: 9.10" x 23.20" x 21.70" = 4581.3 cu. in.
Cosmos II: 13.5" x 27.7" x 26.1" = 9760.1 cu. in.

Go go Cosmos II :D

Oh wow! I didn't realize it was double in size! Dang...just looking @ my Thor V2 - where would I even put something double that volume? Nuts...;)
