Packaging and Accessories:

Upon arrival of the Cosmos S, one can appreciate the size of the box knowing that the case inside must be huge. Besides the usual foam packaging, Cooler Master has placed the Cosmos S in what can only be described as a large dust cover or travel bag. Inside the bag, the case is wrapped in plastic. What do you do with the dust cover? I guess just use your imagination.

Unlike the Cosmos 1000, the Cosmos S accessories do not come in a little tool box (was it really necessary in the first place?). Reading over the manual provides detailed pictographic steps on every feature of this case. For the impatient there is also a "quick guide" that shows the bare necessities in only six (6) steps. Also included is a bag full of screws and standoffs, zip ties, cable ties w/adhesive backing, speaker, 8-pin extension cable, and 3.5" to 5.25" brackets (for a floppy drive).
