The Cosmos II comes equipped with a pair of X-Docks, located just under the 5.25″ drive bays. These allow you to hot-swap hard drives, allowing you to quickly pop in a drive for formatting, or pulling and writing data in a snap without having to shut down your computer and fiddle with a rat’s nest of cables just to hook up a hard drive.

For those systems where one 360mm radiator just isn’t enough, Cooler Master has cooked up a brilliant way to make the Cosmos II compatible with a bottom radiator out of the box, with a little bit of modification.
To mount a radiator in the bottom, first remove the two hard drive cages located in the bottom of the case.

In some rigs, a modest 850W power supply is enough. In others, a more hefty 1050W is needed. And in some monolithic rigs, they require 1300W or more. Here I’m going to show you the quick and easy way to upgrade from a Silent Pro Hybrid 850W to a 1050W.

First, unplug all of the cables going to the 850W.

Next, remove the PSU and the bracket if there is one. I’m using the Cosmos II, so I need to switch it to the 1050W PSU before installing it.

Then you can just put the 1050W Silent Pro Hybrid in, and then get everything plugged back in and you’re done, having just made a fast and needed upgrade. Fast, easy and simple, I always love that.
