This review is from: COUGAR Spike Black Steel / Plastic Micro ATX Mini Tower Gaming Case with USB 3.0 and 12CM Cougar Fan
Pros:
Very light case, which I was definitely okay with. The tool-lessness is a good feature, though I prefer mounting it myself. I do like how the 5.25" bays you can fully remove the tool-less bracket so that it's simply not there. Good spacing, I have plans to fill it with fans so that it will be quiet and cool, and 4 - 120mm fans should definitely do so. The fan it does come with is nice, does it's job and isn't too loud, especially since I have fan controllers on the motherboard I got it with. Spacing is good for drives and mobo.
Cons:
I do wish the plastic was steel, but it doesn't matter, it looks fine, it's just the sound it makes. The SSD mount on the bottom of the case was a good idea, but in practice it is idiotic, I'm not 100% if this is the case with all PSU sata power connectors, but it was impossible for me to have the power connector in with it mounted there will just screws. My father and I made small plastic stilts with compression washers to hold it down tight, but acquire the extra space to plug it in. Also, I would have liked if the tool-less mounting brackets were removable for the 3.5" inch bays, because as I said previous I prefer to screw mount them.
