good question, i'm getting a c534 and i'm pretty sure since it has a side fan funnel it's not going to fit. i know the true is pretty tall. it will either be very tight or not fit at all. it doesn't look like the fan really sticks inwards at all on that case, and unless it does a decent amount, you should be able to fit it in

I have been eyeing the Cosmos S during the last few weeks (it is not out in Greece yet..will be in a week's time) so maybe that will be the excuse for getting the Cosmos beauty. I think the TRUE will fit in the Cosmos...however i was wondering whether someone has it installed.

Well, after reading a few reviews on the Cosmos S, some *****ing it off on some aspects like improvement over the temperature department in comparison to the model it is replacing....i decided to go ahead with the Thermaltake Armor VA8003SWA!
What an amazing case!! I have dropped 9 degrees on stress tests with Prime 95!! I am on 3.6 Ghz o/c on my quad with 1.39v on cpu-z and it is 50-57 going to 62 at the hottest part of the test!!!
In relation to the TRUE fitting...well the plastic cover of the 25cm fan touches on the TRUE but it is OK (it spins alright etc).
I am very happy indeed this TT seems to be a good choice though price (200 euros) is a bit expensive. Apart from that TT is well built and does the cooling business for me!
Also, CoolerMaster S is a beauty, don't get me wrong, but i am extremely happy with my choice...i still can't believe the temps on air on 3.6Ghz on a quad!!
