Love at first sight...but only for the patient.

COUGAR Conquer Aluminum Alloy ATX Mid Tower Aluminum Frame Tempered Glass Gaming Case with LED Fan
COUGAR Conquer Aluminum Alloy ATX Mid Tower Aluminum Frame Tempered Glass Gaming Case with LED Fan

Pros: The aesthetic is radical and gorgeous! If you want a bold and aggressive-looking machine, search no further! An open case design of glass and metal that's great for showing off the innards of your rig, whether it's a liquid cooler, custom lighting or just the naked tech beauty of a well configured machine.

Cons: It ain't easy to assemble. You practically have to put the case together AS you're assembling the internals. Took me a LONG while till I figured out where my old hard drives were supposed to go! These killer looks are not easily attained, but if you're not under time constraints and read the (minimalist) instructions CAREFULLY, you will be rewarded!

Overall Review: I first saw this chassis a couple years before I bought it and couldn't get it out of my head. I hadn't even decided to do my first ground-up build, but this out-there design never left me. I read all the reviews about how hard it was to put together, and some complaints about quality control. But when the stars at last aligned (and some sale prices kicked in!), I went for it and I'm still glad I did! As I mentioned above, this is no simple assembly. The instructions can be opaque at times and I was learning as I went about the whole process. Still, nothing's THAT complex about these beasts in this day and age, so I went slowly and carefully and now I have this magnificent custom rig! Again, not for Mom and Pop Computer User, and I added a couple more fans to complete the look, but if you're of the this bend of mind, the pix included say all that you need to know!
