Cleaning my Cooler Master Cosmos S

The side panel of the Cooler Master Cosmos S PC case has a 200 mm fan and a grating which covers the entire side. The grating is hard, and protects the fan from damage. Inside the grating, though is a lighter mesh which prevents dust from being sucked in by the fan.

This design keeps dust out while providing an enormous amount of cooling for the entire motherboard.

However, cleaning it is annoying. One must unscrew the inner mesh and its panel, then pop the panel out of a number of tabs. Once that’s open, one can carefully clean it. It took me approximately 20 minutes to clean it.

Check out the picture for the amount of dust which had accumulated since mid-March when I reviewed it for ThinkComputers.
