Cougar MX331 Mesh G Compact Mid-Tower Gaming Case with ARGB Strips and rear Fan with Glass Side Window

I butchered it to make a test rig out of the frame.It had the correct initial design that would assist in the perfect outcome for an open PC test rig that I will most likely keep for life to test out products.

Well made although thecables to the front could do with being longer but it depends on the board you put into it personally I don't like the heavy glass side panel as you may crack it but it looks good when everything is installed and the price was good

Cuts corners for every strength, fan controller hub short circuited on me and fumes came out the frontDoesnt feel particularly sturdy, has some good features, but poor others, rear PCIE brackets are terribad, 5.25inch bay installation is bad, cant remove psu shroudIts ok

I was very impressed with the overall build and I do believe it makes the system more cooler than what I had previously. The instructions are relatively easy to follow but make sure that cable management is a must to get a clean build and with this case I would suggest a replacement of the rear fan as it didn’t light up when connected to motherboard. Extra fans needed for extra cooling performance if air cooling.

Brilliant item. Arrived on time. You can attach up to 5, 3 pin 120mm fans to this base unit. Has brilliant cable management

Not good

I bought this case for a self-build gaming PC, because it was one of only a small number with 5.25" drive support (I watch blu-rays on my PC so this is essential) and looked like it had good cooling (mesh front plus support for 5 x 120mm fans). I can take or leave RGB lighting, but that might be a bonus for some. Build quality is pretty good - no sharp edges or screw holes that don't quite line up. Unfortunately that's where the good points end. Now onto the bad stuff - none of them a total deal breaker, but a lot of annoyances.- With a full-size ATX motherboard, this doesn't work very well. The location of the cable-cut-outs are right next to the edges of the board, meaning that the cables get in the way of connectors. On my build it was impossible to use 2 of the SATA ports because they were blocked by the PSU cable, for example, and there was only about an inch between the SSD SATA port and the usable motherboard connectors, meaning some very tight cable bends were required - I don't like doing this as it stresses the connectors and cables.- The included RGB fan and front RGB lighting are only controllable via switches on the case, not via the motherboard. They also need an excessive number of connectors to use them (e.g. 2x SATA).- The case is clearly modified from one with a solid metal side panel. The tempered glass side looks like an afterthought, with the cutouts for a sliding metal panel still visible, and the glass cut taller than it needs to be, so it doesn't sit flush with the side.- There's no reset button. Where you'd expect one, there is now a button to change the RGB lighting patterns / colours. Another indication that this is modified from an earlier design.Maybe I was being over-ambitious trying to put a full-sized ATX board in a mid-tower case, but I managed this fine in my previous ten-year-old Coolermaster case. Not a terrible case, not expensive, and may work OK for some, but I couldn't recommend it.

Looks good so far haven't actually built the PC yet but should look smart.update 11,09,22 built the pc in this case it was only when the sun shone on the top of the case that i noticed a dent that ran diagonally across the top of the case, as the packaging was substantial and undamaged i can only surmise that the dent was not caused in transit.If i hadnt already put the pc together i would certainly sent it back
