Accessories:
The image below show the two air filters from the bottom of the case removed. This makes the cleaning that much easier when you can remove the filters and run them under water or in a dish washer.
There are many wires/cables for the front panel connection area. There are two USB, one FireWire, one audio, one eSTATA, a disk activity LED, power switch, and a 24-pin motherboard connector. I was wondering what in the front panel needed direct power to the 24-pin motherboard connector, and after the installation was completed I found that it was for the power sensor. If you do not use the adapter included, you will not be able to use the power sensor to turn on the system. This should be reviewed for a design change, as I found it a little annoying to install.
The actual accessories that are included with the Cosmos S are a little more generous than a standard set of accessories. There are more than enough cable tidies and cable ties to help keep the mess to a minimum, a buzzer, an extension for the 8 pin motherboard connection, one set of rails for adapting a 5.25" bay to 3.5" bay, and a bag of screws, standoffs, etc.
