The case has five 5.25" drive bays, which is more than enough to house various drives, particularly optical drives. With seven 3.5" drive bays there is also plenty of extra HDD space as well. You can even slot in an SSD or a laptop drive in one of the nine specifically designed 2.5" drive bays
Made primarily of Aluminium, the Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 is built to be strong, lightweight, and well-ventilated. This often comes at a price premium, but some see the benefits to be completely worth it. Whatever your case's material, it is important to keep a consistent airflow so that heat doesn't build up inside. It is therefore advised that you make use of the available built-in case fans and fan installation sections.
