For $90 this thing is pretty cool. My choice of case was between this and the Coolermaster H500, also a great case. In the end it was a win as the H500 is very popular and tends to sell out quickly. After receiving this I decided it was the right choice. This thing is basically a full tower with no eatx support in a nice suit. What to look out for:! IMPORTANT! The case you may receive may differ from the picture. The product photos show a silver case, mine is black with a large COUGAR logo on the light gray PSU shroud that is not visible under tinted glass. The front badge is sexy black and gold instead of black and silver. It's possible that the product photos are from an old tank, although it's actually a Panzer S. The Cougar website itself has photos in case you want to see them. looks a lot better. For the rest of the review. PROS: - Spacious - CPU air cooler up to 160mm or up to 360mm wheel front or top - Easy cable routing - All dust filters - Tempered glass with reasonable thumbscrews - 3 mediocre red LED fans but I take crappy fans instead of fans any Day - Lots of screws of all kinds included, motherboard standoffs were pre-installed with extras in a separate bag just in case (nice touch) - Lots of tie rod anchors Cons: - You can see your ugly face in the reflection of the glass - Case tends to tip over , if there is not enough weight inside. Adding your power supply and GPU fixes this for the most part, but the legs that the case sits on are narrower than the width of the case itself. Like any glass, the side panels are fingerprint magnets (no real downside, just something to be aware of) pro -Tip: Install any extra case fans first, like when you remove the top and front covers, the power reset switches associated with them, hard drive LED cables, etc. are removed with them. You can also reattach and smooth the cover over the PCIe expansion slot screw holes.
