The front of COSMOS 2 features a moveable panel, this can cover the 5.25” drive bay area or the large honeycomb mesh area below by simply sliding it up or down – this panel also features the Cooler Master emblem.
Around the back, beginning at the bottom there is an area marked out for mounting the PSU. Above this there are 10x PCI expansion slot covers, each having ventilation cut-outs for better airflow within the chassis. Next to these covers there is a vertically aligned PCI plate for attaching a device such as a fan controller. At the top of this back panel there is a mesh section for the 140mm rear exhaust fan and finally above this there are 3x circular rubber grommets for water-cooling tubing.

The lower mesh area on the front panel can be detached quite easily. Upon removal this panel can be cleaned if required as there is a 200mm LED intake fan located at the front here.

The front panel controls are split into two sections. The first section that faces the front features a range of useful ports. These ports include:
• Headphone/Microphone jack
• E-SATA port
• 2x USB 3.0 ports (via motherboard header)
• 4x USB 2.0 ports
Front panel controls include dual USB 3.0 ports
Above these ports is another section of controls. This shiny metallic control hub contains the power/reset buttons and a range of areas to alter the speed of cooling fans within COSMOS 2. The user can control: Front, back, top, HDD, GPU and LED.
