After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Cooler Master
Our first stop is an official meeting with Coolermaster. Coolermaster has been a long time supporter of Ninjalane and we thank them for showing us around their suite.
There were 2 basic highlights of the Coolermaster suite and the first was in cases. The newest is a case called the Cosmos and is very high end. It is completely tool less and very little is actually made from plastic, even the HDD trays are made from aluminum. Cooling fans are located at the top and bottom of the case, intake and PSU are at the bottom and feature filters to help keep dust from entering the case, you can even direct the airflow by turning the grill.
The next case is an enhancement of what we saw at CES this year and features a couple of new designs from Smooth Creations. The American'esq skull design is very nice and might be my all time favorite "pre-mod" design. All of the cases are hand painted and come in limited quantities of 300 each.

The second highlight is a 1250watt PSU that was running 2 computers equipped with 2 8800 Ultra's each and 2 150gig raptor drives, This just reaffirms that the average user really won't ever need that much power unless you're wanting to show off.
The last new item we thought was really interesting is this fancy videocard watercooler that features a water and air cooling component.
