5 out of 5 eggsA really nice case with tons of airflow

Pros: The number one attraction of this model is airflow.. I have 4 120mm case fans running currently, with room for 2 more. ATX or MicroATX motherboards install easily, fit was solid and snug. The tech-black look with a few blue LEDs on front is sharp, in my opinion, but may be a bit bland for some folks. Getting the power supply out of the way of the CPU (and down at the bottom of the case) is a new experience for me.. I don't know if it helps with case temp, but I certainly will look for this feature from now on as it was much easier to work with.

Cons: This case has a lot of open mesh.. great for airflow, but you better get some good, quiet fans as you're going to hear anything they put out. The width of the case was a hair too thin for my CPU cooler, which admittedly is on the very-large end of the spectrum, which was my misjudgement. The front panel plastic may not survive too many removals.

4 out of 5 eggsA good budget case.

Pros: A roomy case with nice airflow. My core temperatures dropped in 10°c, and another 5°c after some cable routing (which is pretty convenient with this case). And I haven't even added the optional top x2, side x2 and bottom x1 fans. (only using x2 front intake and x1 rear exhaust) This case has scew-less devices to hold your drives, is very light weight, would fit most video cards, it's cheap, and has a very nice appearance.

Cons: The doors feel a bit flimsy and have to be tightened in to stay in place (thumbscrews or regular), but it's not really that much of an issue for me.
It arrives with only a single 120mm rear exhaust orange colored fan (nice and pretty silent), which is too bad because it looks pretty good. Not really a big deal either, it's pretty common for budget cases to arrive with only a single fan.
The front panel wires are attached to the top of the front panel cover itself, so you have to be a bit careful when pulling it out.

Other Thoughts: Cougar has hilariously bad marketing videos.
