Cougar MX330 Mid Tower Case with Full Tempered Glass Window and USB 3.0

It's always a good idea to stick to the basics. This case isn't anything flashy with over the top designs and RGB everywhere you look. However, it has literally everything you need to keep your pc cool, clean and keep your components lasting as long as possible. Simple and to the point design, fantastic airflow and 3 dust filters to save you the headache of having to dust your pc every week (although it never hurts to do that). I spent a whole week looking at cases and it became very clear that a case without flaws simply doesn't exist, so focus on what's really important and practical. First of all, this case is way more spacious than it looks which made building in it a breeze and its airflow is fantastic. It has a front dust filter behind the already mesh panel, a top dust filter and a PSU dust filter. The cable management is great and the case itself feels very heavy duty without weighing a ton. Of course having 4 usb ports in the front are always a plus. Compared to literally every other case this 1 takes the prize by a long shot and somehow its still affordable. The only flaw this case arguably has is its only meant to have 2 fans in the front, but I easily mounted a 3rd fan on there with some zip ties (they also give you the option to easily drill screw holes to make it fit but I didn't wanna bother just yet). The bottom fan will be split between the top components and underneath the PSU shroud but as far as I'm concerned it looks great and provides extra cooling for the PSU. Do yourself and your components a giant favor and buy this case.

Looks clean, good airflow, tons of room for fans and on the cheaper side.Easy to build in but some caveats:Get your CPU power cable(s) ran before screwing down the motherboard. They won’t fit afterwards. Others have said they had trouble with ATX boards fitting. I did not. Also the peerless assassin 120 (not the SE) fits fine although pc part picker may not have it as compatible. Plenty of room in back for cables too. The glass panel sits on top and sticks out from the side of the case. More expensive cases will have the glass flush, and I like that aesthetic better, but for the price its fine.I needed a case with a dvd drive and this one fit the bill. There’s actually two slots up front but the lower is blocked by the mesh. The mesh can be removed but it doesn’t have rails to mount.

Overall, this case is a good value for the cost. However, keep in mind you get what you pay for. The PCI covers are "One and done" pop-outs. You'll need replacements if you add something to a slot and then remove it later.The cutout near the EPS connector could have been just a little bit taller - there is very little room to route anything once the motherboard is in place. Do as much of your cable management through that hole as you can before installing your motherboard. There is also very little headroom between the top of the motherboard and the roof of the case. My EPS cabled are maybe only 1mm away from touching the fan blades in the roof of the case.Be mindful of how you plan to route your front I/O cables - I had to get creative with the HD Audio since it would not reach the connector on my Gigabyte board unless I removed the PSU, routed the (thankfully thin) ribbon cables through the rear cutout in the shroud, and then replaced the PSU once all cables were routed.The rear pop-out could have also been extended just a bit more. If it were just a few mm wider, cable management in the back would have been less of a headache. I literally had to remove the glass panel, tip the case over onto the floor, and use almost my whole 100lb body weight to wedge the rear panel back into place once all my cables were routed where I needed them to go.The front of the case has room for tower coolers up to 155mm high, so either go for an AIO or research what coolers fit. I found that the Scythe Fuma 2 fits perfectly without obstructing my RAM.Overall, the case looks nice and is a good choice when looking for budget cases, but you do have to keep in mind what you are paying for, and plan your cable management and CPU cooler options accordingly.

A perfect blend of modern and retro features. My favorite part is the 5.25 bay, long live physical media!
