Great PC tower, spacious, looks great and is well priced. Not much else to say.

Good quality for its price. For anyone confused, you CAN pop-off the front of the case by pulling from the bottom, but be careful not to pull hard on any of the wires connected at the top.One tiny problem I have with this case is the fact that the standoffs are screwed on extremely tight so you cannot easily remove them in order to screw them somewhere else. You're going to need pliers for that.Overall, very very happy with my purchase especially as someone who's a first time PC builder.

I like the window on the side to be able to see my parts but I did not realize the clean panel was tinted slightly

It may look a little big, but if you don't want to use tweezers to do things, then this is the case for you..Biggest perks are the pwr supply being mounted in the bottom of unit in it's own cavity. Drive bays are mounted sideways from the back side of the unit. lots of room for a neat wiring job.If your anel about cooling,,,you can get "5" lg volume fans in there without breaking a sweat..Well worth the money.

I was looking for the cheapest respectable case in terms of air and cable management and I am very satisfied.It's 60$ CAD, however I got it for 40$ CAD as "used" from Amazon. In my case, it came in perfect shape.Cable management space is fair.Air ventilation is good overall. I did add 2 extra fans for a total of 2x 120MM in the front and 1x120MM in the back. (It was a bit of a pain to get the front panel off to mount the front fans, but nothing bad.It's got a cheap water cooling for the CPU with the radiator mounted to the top of the case with another 120mm Fan exhausting out the top.I was able to add in 2 SSD and 2 large mechanical drives at the bottom on the opposite side panel in the PSU box taking the entire length.It's got a cheap acrylic side panel. All in all, it looks and feels like an extreme budget case yet does everything it has to do fairly well. Perfect budget case for the price.However, if you are willing to spend 80-90$, there are far more attractive cases out there.

This is a great case for the money... Good layout and airflow. I had a few spare Frankenstein bits lying around and decided to throw a new build together. I wasn't looking for anything crazy fancy, and this is exactly what the mad doctor ordered.The case only comes with 1 fan so you'll need to order at least 2 more.

Quite impressed with this case for the price. Everything feels high quality and the design itself is very good.This build has the best cable management of any I've ever done because the case makes it incredibly easy. Plenty of space to feed the cables out of sight behind the board-side panel, brilliantly designed holes to feed them to the board, and plenty of little hooks to use cable ties whenever you need.

Good case for a beginner build. Very spacious and easy to install all the components. Also came with 2 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 ports which is very helpful for me as i have an external optical drive. I docked a point because i did find a couple of places where the black paint came out very easily and also the acrylic plate could have been cut a bit better.

This case is very lightweight. WAY lighter than my Cougar Panzer-S model. Mainly, because it has an acrylic side panel. I actually prefer the acrylic for my secondary PC; I won't have to worry about shattering it every time I open the case. The metal is fairly thin, which is to be expected on a case at this price point, but no sharp edges.If you're using either of the two 3.5" HDD bays in the lower section, you're going have trouble threading in the thumb screws that hold the trays in place. Just use one of the regular #6 screws that are provided to get the threads started and then they'll go right in. I think that was something missed from the factory.Everything else went in smoothly on my build. The most difficult task was figuring out how to cleanly route the cables but there's plenty of openings on this case to allow you to snake the power, USB, etc. in / out / around the way of everything.The only additional part I can think of that would supplement this case is an male / female (extension) cable for the 4-pin +12V ATX power for the motherboard. If you're PSU doesn't have a very long reach on that connector, you may end up running it across the motherboard to reach from the lower bay. I always like to bring it up and over the top of the board and you won't be able to do that with this case unless you have the slack for it.

I wasn't expecting much considering the low cost of this case, but I was very pleasantly surprised! I put in a Micro-ATX board with a GTX1070 Founders Edition, and 4x case fans - absolutely no issues with space. Plenty of room for drive expansion, too. The cable management isn't stellar, but not bad at all considering the price point here. You'll only get 1 case fan, but there's room for at least 6 total, so cooling shouldn't be a problem. The clean design and decent cable management options means good airflow, and the mesh design at the front seems open enough to allow lots of intake.The PSU basement is fairly cramped, so if you have a modular PSU, you'll probably want to plug in your cables before mounting the PSU in place. My only other complaint are the plastic thumb screws. They work okay and they're easily replaced, they just feel a bit cheap and fragile compared to a full-metal thumb-screw. Buy a cheap bag of them along with this case. There's also a bit of a gap between the acrylic window and the case, which is likely to cause some airflow issues in high airflow cases, but it's nothing too noticeable.All in all, I'm very impressed with how far my money went with this case. Good quality, nice design, and the price is absolutely right. Well done, Cougar!!

Great case!I'm pretty simple when it comes to building pc's, and tend to try and salvage parts and have been slowly upgrading over the years (I don't play intense high demand games)...After upgrading from a micro-ATX, I had to get something that would fit my new handed-down standard sized ATX board that would do the job and be cost efficient and this worked out perfectly. The case itself is very sturdy and well put together, and very intuitive as far as how it is set up.Both sides of the case can be removed (the acrylic side and back side) to better execute cable routing and place in an HDD and power supply. The 'dust filters' can be easily removed. There is one on the bottom of the case for the power supply, so be sure to orient it properly for correct airflow during your assembly.The only downside is that there was only one fan included, but there is plenty of space for more--with the cost being so low it didn't really bother me (my other mini-case came with a few fans).I'm not used to large cases, so its strange having so much extra room (for now)!

I hope you find this a helpful review in your computer case selection process. I do not have any association with the sales or manufacture of this case. I purchased this case for a gaming computer I was building for my grandsons.Really nice case made with nice smooth edges most everywhere in all important locations and especially where any wiring passed through the case. Good value, was not expecting something this nice.Power supply mounts in the bottom of the case. SSD drives mount on the back side of the motherboard, mounting plate, room for two. HDD drives mount in the bottom area of the case near the front, room for another two drives. I used one SSD and one HDD drive in my design. I was a bit concerned about heat, but after assembling the computer, both my SSD and HDD drives ran cool to the touch, not warm. The case also has room for a DVD player in the front face of the case, at the very top. You can't see it in the Amazon sales photos, its well hidden if your not going to use the space. A clear plastic left side cover would have been nicer if your interested in seeing into the case. That was not important to me nor did I add any extra light to my motherboard. There is a removable magnet perimeter air filter screen on the top of the case and a fixed filter screen on the bottom of the case beneath the power supply mounting area. The front of the case is well ventilated with minimal restrictions. It's single supplied, I think 120mm, fan is quite and along with my power supply's fan seemed to be very adequate cooling. I did not utilize any of its other fan mounting locations.

I got this case for $55, I think it changed. this case is probably the best and cheapest case that can support 5 fans and has a power supply cover which is very rare to find in cheap cases these days.Things I love:- has See through fan area at the top of the case with removable magnetic mesh.- has 4 USB slots at the front.- has a power supply cover that makes the case look clean- has a lot of space inside the case which can hold up to 5 fans- has a very nice looking power button.UPDATE: though this case is nice, one thing the you have to be aware of is that it will not be compatible with some AIR coolers sadly. This case is a bit thin that's why.
