Cougar MX330-G Detailed video - NOT A REVIEW

As I acquire the individual pieces/parts for my PC build, I want to share a detailed video about the PC case that I decided to use. The Cougar MX330-G case cost me $41.99 from Amazon (January 2020).
I cannot in all honesty perform a review of this unit because it is the first one that I ever bought and have no real basis of comparison.

This is prefect and exactly what's needed. Thanks so much for taking the time to go over the details of what actually matter.

[@RealManSkills]

Thanks for watching!

[@Mr.Meme01]

@@RealManSkills ended up getting this case largely based on your vid, loving the case! It's great build quality for the money

[@RealManSkills]

@@Mr.Meme01 Glad you like it. I like mine as well. Thanks again for watching!

[@Du5tey]

My non-glass side panel is absolutely refusing to come off and I dont want to damage the case. What should I do?

[@kick8627]

How do you take off the things to put in the graphics card

[@RealManSkills]

Pry them out with a flat screwdriver and bend them back and forth until they come loose.

[@jaylenleu6403]

@Salsa Dude Yep. Kinda stupid, if you ask me, even if you're not gonna do anything with those empty slots.

[@flyinlo1474]

Thanks for the video!! For the "front panel" did you put the fan and radiator on front side of grill or inside of grill??

[@RealManSkills]

Two fans inside grill. Thanks for watching.

[@flyinlo1474]

@@RealManSkills so the two fans were inside the grill and the radiator was on the other side of the grill? I'm assuming you've had no issues with it being that way. this case in my opinion is not good because the radiator cannot fit up top nor does it fit properly on the front. bad design but we're going to try to make it work

[@RealManSkills]

@@flyinlo1474 I have no radiator. Just five fans. Two in the front, drawing air in. Two in the top pulling air out. One in the back, drawing air out. And of course, the fan on the CPU.

[@flyinlo1474]

@@RealManSkills Gotcha! Thanks for clearing that up. We are installing a water cooler and there is no room for the radiator to fit even thought they said it does. Real bummer!! First time ever using this brand case. Thanks again and take care.

[@waled7564]

Can i put 240mm water cooler on the top ?

[@kevinmahoney9205]

On the front, is there room to mount a 240mm radiator AND an optical drive?

[@RealManSkills]

I would think so. I have two 120mm fans and an optical drive. According to the website specs, you can put a 240mm radiator or two 120mm fans.

[@kevinmahoney9205]

@@RealManSkills To answer my own question.... No, there isn't. My radiator (and I suspect most) is actually 270mm long. If I mount it in the front, it sticks up too far, partially blocking the optical drive bay. If I mount it in the top, then the optical drive would hit the fan. Very disappointing...

Hey man can you help me? My pc case I mean cougar mx330-g side panal so very tight can you help

[@RealManSkills]

I don't know how I can help.

[@mrbombastic9749]

Does the case come with a fan??

[@RealManSkills]

It came with one (1) fan mounted in the back. I added four (4) more. Two in the front, two in the top and the one in the back - Five (5) fans total. Some pull and some push.

[@NickMirambeau]

This video was extremely helpful, tysm good sir 👍

[@RealManSkills]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@hongtae2012]

Should I get more fans for this case or would the pre-installed fans be enough? Will it affect performance much?

[@RealManSkills]

This is the first PC that I ever built. I installed five fans - 2 that draw air in from the front, 2 that push air out of the top and one that pushes air out the back. So far so good. Thanks for watching.

[@maxor927]

On the Front pannel beside the usbs do u know what the light is for Not the power one the other one on the right side that glows red

[@milo_o6335]

Its the hard drive or ssd read/write signal. Nothing to be worried or scared about

[@jeromebraden7364]

Is there a secret to opening the front panel? Manual says just reach under and pull, but I'm using almost-breaking-stuff force to zero effect. Is it screwed in from the inside somewhere?

[@RealManSkills]

See the video at 2:48. No secret screws.

[@NickMirambeau]

I know you clearly don't need this anymore, but for future viewers, I just had this same concern, but he's right, you can just pull really hard and it pops off.

[@RealManSkills]

@@NickMirambeau Thanks!

[@michaeldpry]

Which fans did you have pull in air and which fans did you have push out air? Are the mounts 120mm only or 120/140mm ?

The link above are the fans that I used. I put two in the front panel to draw air in. One on the rear panel to pull air out and two on the top panel to draw air out.

[@Lancer265]

Thanks for this vid, do you think I can fit a third HDD ?

I think that it would.

how do i know if my powersupply is going to fit in this case

[@shivez7302]

Look at the specs on pc part picker and then compare with the psu you're buying, most ATX psus will fit

[@harrisonmarshall4905]

I am building with this case right now. Did you put the fans on the outside or inside on the front?

[@RealManSkills]

I put them on the inside. Thanks for watching.

I’m building in this case right now how did it work out for you @Harrison Marshall

@@cam2wild680 works great.

[@PapaMav]

@@RealManSkills is is possible to mount them between the case and front panel? This way a rad can go by itself on the inside, w/o the fans also being on the inside? Thank you.

[@RealManSkills]

@@PapaMav As I look more closely, I realize that that is where they are. Sandwiched within the front panel.

Is the bottom mesh removable?

[@user-wj1nn5ky6h]

yes

[@twosideplayerz3166]

can i use hyper 212 turbo fan with this case plz reply someone help me

[@Lancer265]

The 212 Turbo has a total height of 163mm (6.4 inch). This case has a total width of 195mm (7.68 inch), it has plenty of room for that cooler so don't worry.

@@RealManSkills did u sell the other fans?

No good grill for exhaust on the PSU room, so that's a no for me

[@Infinitr1x]

I don’t have a lot of experience with power supplies, but what would you need for it to be a “good” grill exhaust?

[@Lancer265]

Esa parte del gabinete, donde va la fuente de poder, esta hecha para meter aire fresco a la misma desde abajo (por eso el filtro de polvo) no para sacarlo. The PSU part of the case is meant to suck fresh air from the bottom (hence the air filter) not to exhaust it.

[@gabmor]

Very good! Can I ask you about the cables from the front panel? Is it possible to detach some of the cables from the green board? The 2 USBs 3.0 are enough for me. Can I detach the cables from sound connectors ans USB 2.0 connectors? Thank you!

[@RealManSkills]

I really can't say for sure. Sorry.

[@DMP413]

that is not tempered glass

[@zumn12122]

Yes it is, there's a version of the case with an acrylic side panel as well but this is the 'G' model.
