RGB with a nice understated white case like this, is pretty attractive. agreed with your intro, i never expect too much from cougar, and never have. but this is pretty much nailing it.

Excellent review. Saw this white variant of the Cougar MX600 RGB in store here in Australia. It looks like a fantastic case that's so easy to build in and easy to maintain. The front panel seemed very sturdy, when messing with it on display, so it might be something they fixed? Airflow is important for me so glad it performs well. I wanted black and they just sold the last 2 "that day"! Ad not re-stocking. Managed to pick one up online elsewhere, so stoked about that. I'm looking forward to either building a B650E/X670E 7800x3D build in this. However it can wait, depending on what the 800 motherboards offer with a 9800x3D when they are announced.

I don't remember if I already asked this here: can this case accommodate the corsair shift PSUs (the ones with the connectors on the side) ? If these PSUs installed, does the side panel closes properly? Does it fit? How about the connectors bending ect. Thanks very much. - Probably you are the only one who can check since you have these products already.

The ugly black cables ruin it. White PSU with white cables would be much better methinks , though not very many of those. And yes I am aware of the existence of the extension cables, but I worry it about 2 things: 1.They may be of a lesser quality than boxed cables . 2.They might void warranty of the PSU if something goes wrong.

@Killertide10 ай бұрын
That HDD caddy... Can't it reach the front, close to the fans? If it does, you can put a pump/res combo there, I think. Nicely hidden (the pump part), would look nice with a rad on top. SImple costum build.
@KitGuruJames10 ай бұрын
I think it can be moved closer to the front fans. If not it would be very easy to mod the case to allow the caddy to be moved right up to the front.

There have NO "resset" button on I/O ,why? How will restart the PC if window stuck?🤔
@GameslordXY9 күн бұрын
Most cases don't. Use Turn ON/OFF button to either reset it with a single press or if that doesn't work long press until it turns off. At least it's like that on my Cooler Master Masterbox NR600 . If nothing works, use the button at the back of the PSU to deal with the problem.
@PETRAKOV19 күн бұрын
@@GameslordXY I have this case alredy. The button for the LEDs can be coneccted to the moutherboard and can be "reset" button. The leds can be controled from the moutherboard. Or the best solution is to instal extra button for the LEDs on the case. That I will do soon.
