This review is from: COUGAR Volant Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros:
What attracted me to this case was the top mounted HDD docking station. It's a SATA setup, not E-SATA. The front panel leaves the switches, audio ports and USB ports attached to the case. The switches are on slides with metal springs. Feel good and appear sturdy. There are many cooling fan mounting options. The back panel is unusual in that the ledge for attaching expansion cards is actually outside the case. This has the effect of putting the IO panel flush with the outside of the case rather than recessed. This makes the attachment of cables far easier than normal.
Cons:
The filters at the case bottom of the case are nicely made with a fine metal mesh. The problem is that they do not pull out for cleaning like a toaster crumb tray. The power supply will need to be unbolted and tilted for it's filter removal.
Overall Review:
The HDD docking station is designed to be a hot swappable SATA configuration. If your system HDD's are not set for RAID or AHCI in BIOS you will need to shut the system down to swap HDD's. I changed mine to a USB docking station.
