i bought the C700P Black Edition the other day. it really is *_so massive_* . when i saw the packaging i thought "i can use this box as a table when i'm done with it". would be a nice upgrade to the vacuum cleaner box that i currently use
I have had my c700p for 3yrs now. My wife picked this case out for her gaming pc build and with 2 thick 360 rads and gpu cpu water blocked its a heavy beast! But i love this case!
So I was having a bit of temp issue on my 1080Ti sli setup after getting this new cosmos. I previously had the old cosmos 2 for 5 years. After seeing your review, I can now game in Peace with front panel +mesh partially removed. those gpu temp was super impressive. thanks steve :D
Good to hear the case is so big. Currently in a PC war with my brother and I need as big of a case as I can to win the opening shots. Also good it's a good case cause I'm running out of choices.
Well i honestly always had issues with parts not fitting in so i was searching for massive case and after i seen your vid i decided to go for it its really heavy but its great allot of room front fans just put from inside and 2 bellow and it has great flow and its quiet to this vid really helped me to decide.
That's some pretty loud dB's. My R5 with an 88mm cpu fan ran around 35 dB. When I changed to the BeQuiet Silent 280 AIO and 8 140mm fans, my case dropped to 13 idle and 20 full load. I'd expect more for that price point. Gorgeous case with a lot of options for watercooling. Needs clear glass for my UV lighting. It would look awesome on my desk though...matches the grey steel and smoked glass tops perfectly.
There are not many options when you need a Bluray burner drive inside. C700P & C700M are both big and both have ODD bay. The only thing that sucks (aside from price) is the limitation of the top radiator size when ODD is installed.
i got this case: I was lucky to get this on 40% off, and i cant stress this enough....... its amazing in so many ways cooling wise and considering the upgrades in size with new cards,. the case is just future proof for A LONG LONG LONG TIME... also the case weights 30kg when empty
I love my Cosmos 2, and because it lives by my foot anyway I don't think I'll need to upgrade from it any time soon.Bonus for it is, that I got for less than half price because I bought it used. Lucky me.;))
Why would anyone want it? It's one of the very few cases with a combination of: 5.25" Optical Drive Slot, USB-C and RGB. Find me another case like that, besides C700M.
try coconut oil and bees wax in your hair. dont wash your hair just get it wet and lightly dry it. then apply the oil followed bye a small amount of bees wax and brush it in.
I would like this case a lot more if part of its modularity included the ability to run it laying down in "desktop" format, by moving the bottom left skid to the top right.
What is stoneage about the inside? In contrast to the typical sleek, edgy RGB bullshit this thing has useful space above and next to the motherboards. Means you can also fit Hybrid E-ATX boards, if you have certain boards in mind that are not the typical cheap 250$ stuff with pseudo doubled phases on their VRMs. A bit exaggerated, but you get what i mean. But mostly this does not only have space for big Radiators 3 sides, but has enough distance to the motherboard from that locations. So you can even use AIOs that come much closer to the quality of a custom waterloop rather than burning 150€ for an AIO whose center is around RGB and a fucking asetek pump, instead of quality components. And even with that, you could put in a 5,25'' drive for people who dont want to get assraped by win10 and want an easy installation of win7 on modern z390 chipsets. This case is fully modular and can fit different AIrflow paradigms, while beeing not fully ugly. The only downside of this case is the price.
I think 11 3.5 drives are enough if you want something that fits more and reasonably priced you can pick the Corsair 750D it comes with 2 Drive cages (3 Drives each) but you can buy another two cages separately (~10$ each) to fit 12 Drives, that's aside from the four 2.5 inch bays. if you want even more you can buy 3x5.25 inch to 5x3.5 inch cage that's 17x3.5 inch + 4x2.5 = 21 drives !
It has more features than my 570 so I'd say it's worth at least 20 to 50 dollars more with the curved glass, inverted board option, RGB everywhere case and more. It's a little ugly to me, but it does have a corvette stingray aesthetic to it with all the plastic. It just seems to me like 200 is the lowest this guy could be, and maybe aught to be.
Would be interesting to see how an airflow stacked layout would work in this thing. Good idea thermally but not sure how the airflow would work since in the Raven 02 that did this had several intakes on the bottom.
Check your MB with this case as not all MB can facilitate the 4 USB 3.0 on the front. Found out the hard way with Gigabyte's z390 Aorus master. Only allowed 2 USBs at the front due to only one USB 3.0 header. Could use the USB 3.1 header with a converter cable to USB 3.0 but wanted that USB 3.1 for fast charge. So all in all Coolermaster C700P has a design flaw with most current boards. The 4 USBs on the front are for show only by the look of it. If not they should have highlighted this fact. Pissed off
300 Bucks ? For that kind of money I would look at Case Labs. Heavy Duty Cases have their place but such cases use very few plastic pieces if any. The same can be said for curved tempered glass. I wonder what is the replacement cost for the side panel. To repeat what I said at the outset for 300 bucks and 70 lbs I would expect lots of metal with a solid reinforced design and construction.
IMO, this is in no way a substitute for the Cosmos S2 Extreme. That case was heavy (~50 pounds) and had noise dampening and tons of places to mount coolers, drives etc. It was a case where you set your pc inside, put the case in one place and just leave it there quietly.
Is there a case that is large like this, but has or is able to have the tempered glass and components on the right side, and cable management on the left side. (Perspective is in reference to looking at it from the front.)
I better go back to gym to lift weights, since I plan on putting this case on a sturdy desk. Don´t want to take injections for lower back injury, glass panel previosly removed or not.
I would like to see a 90 degree motherboard rotation build! and di you need any Extra from CM to do so? i saw you could get a "rear panel" is it neccersary?
October 10th is the day a good cm case comes to market. Just wait until then if you want a new case, otherwise get something else on the market. They just need to let the cosmos series die. Like you said, this case is not bad, but its expensive (too expensive personally), and it just does not offer that much for the price. The curved tempered glass is a waste, and probably cost a lot, the metal panels behind the glass negate the point of the glass, Why there are even 5.25 drive bays I don't want to know. A few things they could have done to decrease price (and make it worth buying) no curved glass, not include any fans (thats 45 bucks off the case, since no one who buys this will use those fans). Where the curve would be, add meshed ventalation, which would increase airflow (like the h500p), make the psu shroud go across the entire bottem (so when you remove the other metal piece, it doesn't look like you sawed off a third of the shroud). If they had just made this a mastercase 7 instead of a cosmos case, they could have fixed a lot of issues by not forcing themselves down a really expensive and unappealing design path. Well when this case does not sell at all (like the enthoo elite, but im pretty sure those are built to order) they will learn not to make cosmos cases again.
All I see is an updated Cougar Panzer Max. But if I'm gonna pay AU$400, Give me more metal and glass and less plastic. The plastic facade kills this case.

Gamers Nexus hii. I'm first comment. All hail megatron !
H500P!!!
Friend: That girl is hot
Me: Yeah, she's providing some kind of visual extra
Embargo on that is supposed to lift some time later. Much more interesting model indeed.
Can this case hold a 2080 ti?
i bought the C700P Black Edition the other day. it really is *_so massive_* . when i saw the packaging i thought "i can use this box as a table when i'm done with it". would be a nice upgrade to the vacuum cleaner box that i currently use
I have had my c700p for 3yrs now. My wife picked this case out for her gaming pc build and with 2 thick 360 rads and gpu cpu water blocked its a heavy beast! But i love this case!
I am watching to see if Steve's reflection desync with reality again.
One if not the best case I've ever seen.
I got this case as a gift with a pc I bought, its huge but it's a beauty
thanks Gamer Nexus this completes my super computer ! it's pretty good
haven't seen many of your videos but you're AWESOME! keep up the good work
So I was having a bit of temp issue on my 1080Ti sli setup after getting this new cosmos. I previously had the old cosmos 2 for 5 years. After seeing your review, I can now game in Peace with front panel +mesh partially removed. those gpu temp was super impressive. thanks steve :D
Whoah, did not realize how huge it is. I will be building one at work for a VR lab with this case. Haha.
Good to hear the case is so big. Currently in a PC war with my brother and I need as big of a case as I can to win the opening shots. Also good it's a good case cause I'm running out of choices.
Its very heavy, but one of the best cases I did see and own.
Bless you papa Steve for this wondrous gift of a review
Well i honestly always had issues with parts not fitting in so i was searching for massive case and after i seen your vid i decided to go for it its really heavy but its great allot of room front fans just put from inside and 2 bellow and it has great flow and its quiet to this vid really helped me to decide.
I wouldn't build in this, but when the machines take over and set up the Matrix they can install me inside one of these.
By that time it will be a retro setup.
this comment is outstanding lol
Once upon a time I was into huge case's, and this is absolutely massive! I love it but my Air 540 does it for me. The right size, and the right looks.
Never gonna get this case, but I'm still excited for the review.
That's some pretty loud dB's. My R5 with an 88mm cpu fan ran around 35 dB. When I changed to the BeQuiet Silent 280 AIO and 8 140mm fans, my case dropped to 13 idle and 20 full load. I'd expect more for that price point. Gorgeous case with a lot of options for watercooling. Needs clear glass for my UV lighting. It would look awesome on my desk though...matches the grey steel and smoked glass tops perfectly.
They make it more ascetically pleasing to the eye.
Is this still worth it in 2022? Love the looks, the C700M is even better but sooo expensive.
Can't wait to see what the new HAF case reviews to drop!
There are not many options when you need a Bluray burner drive inside. C700P & C700M are both big and both have ODD bay. The only thing that sucks (aside from price) is the limitation of the top radiator size when ODD is installed.
Appeal! It's a right word. The visual appeal.
It would be interesting to see temperature testing both with an air cooler and a clc. Btw great content ad always!
A good case for the show floor, but I really prefer more minimally styled
i got this case: I was lucky to get this on 40% off, and i cant stress this enough....... its amazing in so many ways cooling wise and considering the upgrades in size with new cards,. the case is just future proof for A LONG LONG LONG TIME... also the case weights 30kg when empty
how much did you pay for it
I got it for "just" 100 dollars on facebook marketplace. SHould I keep it?
Steve made some good points... in a very comical way(insert hysterical laughter here) that I didn't consider before this review.
If they did a version of this case as a mid tower I'd be sold
Same here
Steve was tipsy in this review. :)
Every Full Tower design should have casters that you can install.
I love my Cosmos 2, and because it lives by my foot anyway I don't think I'll need to upgrade from it any time soon.Bonus for it is, that I got for less than half price because I bought it used. Lucky me.;))
Why would anyone want it? It's one of the very few cases with a combination of: 5.25" Optical Drive Slot, USB-C and RGB. Find me another case like that, besides C700M.
Your left side was actually better lit Steve, the light from the right is reflecting off the glass! 🙂
Best theremal full tower case? The haf x isn't sold anymore I like full tower cases and only care about thermals and build quality and functionality.
try coconut oil and bees wax in your hair. dont wash your hair just get it wet and lightly dry it. then apply the oil followed bye a small amount of bees wax and brush it in.
HAF!!! I'm am so ready for this case even do I just bought a case.
I would like this case a lot more if part of its modularity included the ability to run it laying down in "desktop" format, by moving the bottom left skid to the top right.
Disappointed you guys didn't test 90 degrees and inverted configs!
The first couple seconds of your synergy add remind me of "ITS SO EASY A CAVEMAN CAN DO IT!"
Very good video !
Finally a review with RTX ON.
We want the Haf H500p!
I like the rails on top.
Maybe dub it the "Cosmos Eclipse", since it apparently blots out the sun ...
No rubber inside the glass panel border? Mmh.. not really sealed againt dust from the side. And it's not cheap at all..
How is this case cooler than the Thermaltake P3 open air case? Your ambient temperatures must have been different?
I just ordered this case on a black friday deal for 169€ incl. shipping costs. There are barely better cases at that pricepoint imo.
3:26 omg... I laughed way too hard
Space outside, Stone age inside...
That's exactly what I was thinking. The 90s are calling.
The stupidest comment around
*most stupid, and you were correct until you typed that.

Means you can also fit Hybrid E-ATX boards, if you have certain boards in mind that are not the typical cheap 250$ stuff with pseudo doubled phases on their VRMs. A bit exaggerated, but you get what i mean.

This case is fully modular and can fit different AIrflow paradigms, while beeing not fully ugly. The only downside of this case is the price.
Hey guys! Which is better? this or bequiet pro? Thanks :)
all i want in a cosmos is to stick in a ton of drives and no case could do that than a cosmos. and this cosmos doesn't do that anymore.
fuck.
I think 11 3.5 drives are enough
if you want something that fits more and reasonably priced you can pick the Corsair 750D
it comes with 2 Drive cages (3 Drives each) but you can buy another two cages separately (~10$ each) to fit 12 Drives, that's aside from the four 2.5 inch bays.
if you want even more you can buy 3x5.25 inch to 5x3.5 inch cage
that's 17x3.5 inch + 4x2.5 = 21 drives !
The Corsair Slate at the rumored 550.00 seems like a bargain, while this at 300.00 comes off about a hundred too high.
More like $150 too high I'd say, when you compare it to the $180 Phanteks Enthoo Luxe TG, or the $220 be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900.
It has more features than my 570 so I'd say it's worth at least 20 to 50 dollars more with the curved glass, inverted board option, RGB everywhere case and more. It's a little ugly to me, but it does have a corvette stingray aesthetic to it with all the plastic. It just seems to me like 200 is the lowest this guy could be, and maybe aught to be.
Good point, but yeah I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it either.
Stalewind Farto1078
550 for X brand case is a bargain but 300 for S brand case is a 100 too high
Mmmmmmm k
Have you seen the Slate? It redefines ridiculous.
When is the review coming for the H500p.?
Where’s the H500p video?
billy bob. 10th of october it gets released.
Embargoed until the 10th.
i want to see the new HAF too :(
Aaaannnnd... it sucks. Dammit! I was considering it for my next build.
haha, well opinions are split amongs reviews, but acording to GN its not worth it yea :/
Would be interesting to see how an airflow stacked layout would work in this thing. Good idea thermally but not sure how the airflow would work since in the Raven 02 that did this had several intakes on the bottom.
i am happy with my 900 pro........nothing says wow i need that case now!
Sheesh, at that price, I'd just do a Mountain Mods case that I want and will be totally customizable and good for many builds.
Check your MB with this case as not all MB can facilitate the 4 USB 3.0 on the front. Found out the hard way with Gigabyte's z390 Aorus master.
Only allowed 2 USBs at the front due to only one USB 3.0 header. Could use the USB 3.1 header with a converter cable to USB 3.0 but wanted that

Guessing no, but does it support SSI-EEB? That would look badass.
is this better or the terrent better? I found a used c700p that's the same price of a terrent
Is there a case that is large like this, but has or is able to have the tempered glass and components on the right side, and cable management on the left side. (Perspective is in reference to looking at it from the front.)

just wow, love it, getting it, fekk it
What's the case in the thumbnail image with the autobot logo? I would like to buy that. Is it atx?
yep
What a beast!
Dark base pro Rev 2 or this? I’m getting my first gaming PC and I’m stuck between the two. Does the dark base pro come with decent RGB as standard?
same im stuck on db pro 900 or this, id choose db pro 900 though
The back (right) steel side panel is a bitch to take off. Not sure if it’s just mine but it also never stays shut.
...but can you watercool a mini-ITX system in the same case?
1. That’s freaking huge.
2. Case so heavy you can stabilize your table on it
Did you edit in a transformers logo in the Thumbnail? xD
the n600 is the best case ever made
Is 900D still viable?
No tipping required if you build it on the floor ... on the carpet.
Bro just want to ask, can add internal 3.5 hard disks? I can see that there are only 2 disk enclosure.
Jun Rav you have to buy extra cases
Gonna be honest, it really sounds like you guys are saying "Buy a different case" at the end of this video lol
Test with FP, but no filter?
Can you review Thermaltake View 31
The specs say it has a 5.25 external bay for a cd/dvd drive... but...where??
At the top.
@@khalilrazak6486 ah ha!!!
I love you Cisco :3
Compared to the dg-87?
This will replace my COSMOS 2, because this actually has (OPTICAL Drive Bays!)
It only has two drive bays tho, or at least you will need more brackets.
@@MMaRsu Still, it has drive bays :)
Can you vertical mount GPU?
For me...be quiet dark base pro 900 wins:)

Meshify C is a boss!
holy fuck 2 min ad!!!!! they better pay you for this video lol for that camera edelkrone
You should be able to skip it, right? We have no control over what ads YT plays.
no there was no skip ad for some reason lol painful 3 mintues haha. i even expanded the window still didn't see it
more review about C700P ~ the more i lean to H500P ~~~ no idea why
Long live the 300r
Peter Battle honestly the original one looks best, only thing missing is a glad side panel
shit I love mine, everything I need and nothing I don't, and everything runs so cool I barely have to have my fans spinning...so damn quiet.
Is it bigger than the phanteks elite?
EX7RUD1CON no
too little accessories, cheap fans, fan hubs should connect to motherboards these days
How many case reviews can you really do guys?
My old ass Corsair C70 doesn't have front panel USB 2.0, just saying =)
put a mini itx case inside this one
The autobot watermark in the thumbnail made me click on this particular video when I did
All I see is an updated Cougar Panzer Max. But if I'm gonna pay AU$400, Give me more metal and glass and less plastic. The plastic facade kills this case.
unbox a H500P!! :D
Wei Chan Steve doesn't do unboxings.
Massive cases are an inconvenience.
