COUGAR Panzer ATX Mid Tower Transparent Fortress Computer Case

Pros: Beautiful design. Excellent build quality. Came out of the huge box well protected. The fans are nice and very quiet even at full speed. The buttons and ports are nice and good long lasting quality. Plenty of room for cable management. This is the nicest looking case I have ever seen.

Cons: The best looking cases tend to be the ones with the most issues but not so much in this case. My biggest complaints for this case is the top and possible air flow restrictions. With my motherboard installed there is not enough room for a radiator with fans attached above it. Even with slim fans it will not fit. The radiator itself will fit fine. You can put the fans on the other side of the metal top, under the top glass but they are so close to the glass that air flow may be greatly restricted. There would be many options to resolve this issue but it is something to keep in mind. My motherboard is a bit bulky and may be part of the problem (ASUS TUF series). I love it so much I won't deduct points for this.

Overall Review: I would like to point out that even though there is reason to believe that air flow will be restricted, there doesn't seem to be a major impact for me. After several hours of monitoring, the restrictions do not seem to have a significant impact on my temperatures. Even after a couple hours of gaming my temps were roughly the same as my previous case (Corsair Graphite Series 780T).

Pros: one of the best air flow cases I have used in a long time power cover a plus price plenty of room for large GPUs I have a msi 1080 seahawk ek x with a res and pump mounted on push/pull fans in the front with about 1 inch to spare.

Cons: top rad needs more room, even with AIO, I did a custom loop and had to go with hardware labs thin rad and even then had to mount fans in pull motherboard mount is kind of flexible needs temp glass side panel instead of plastic and the locking mach takes up top half of window small for a full tower If Cougar would redesign and make it a little custom loop friendly I would pay double.

Overall Review: I would get the case again but I would go with a AIO 360mm in front in push pull.

Pros: Great Packaging. Great build quality. Beast of a Mid-Tower, while slim size. Glass is very well packaged. Love the dual tempered tinted glass panels, and fantastic for the price!

Cons: No grommets or traditional holes for cable pass throughs, but I haven't completed my build (waiting on custom EKWB kit arrival), so I am just unsure about that spacing on the elevated sheetmetal next to the MB seating area. Secondly, difficult to find proper grip when moving case around (no handles), although the Panzer Max has us covered.

Overall Review: Would definitely recommend and the price is fantastic for a dual tempered glass panel Mid-Tower what can handle two 360MM Radiators! I think I am going to love this case.

Pros: This case is gorgeous and has plenty of room for my z370 ATX build with custom cpu/gpu water cooling loop.

Cons: None

Overall Review: The top might be tight for push/pull config but you should have no problem with a slim rad just pushing or pulling up there. The front has plenty of room for push/pull (even with a thicker rad). One of the handles was damaged during shipping so I contacted Cougar and they quickly sent me out 2 replacement handles with no hassle! Great product and great service!

Pros: Sexiest case there is for under 100$. Drives the chicks wild. Supplied fans are good looking, very effective, and quiet. Get the panzer S if you can it includes the 3 fans, or if you are not as concerned about air flow and like the look of tempered glass everywhere get the Panzer G. Everyone is raving about the new Fractel Meshify and I bought this just before that came out. I am not regretting it, I love the looks of this case. I saw it reviewed by Jay 2 cents Who is now really Jay 2K and I loved the case. It had its quirks during my initial build and I still miss my Blue ray player (I have it hooked up outside of the case with a SATA cable. I took the tempered glass of the right hand side of the case and it is resting on a couple of books). I got a cheap 5 meter RBG cable for $9 that I hooked up to the motherboard . I plan to pick up another one so I can run them along the top front and bottom of the metal case. The RGB's really cool eminating through the plastic vents that are ouside of the metal housing.

Cons: I still have not tried to get the safety sticker off the tinted glass I just flipped the glass so ite on the bottom. It took me weeks to realize there was a protective plastic coating on the inside of the tinted glass. That really is more of a pro than a con because it protectes the class. As others have said the case is tippy from side to side because the plastic base is narrow. The only time I had o pay attention to it was while I was building my system.

Overall Review: I think this is the best case out there for under 100$. The tempered Glass on the panzer G looks nice but will definately affect airflow. I have a cheap Cooler Master RGB water cooler with a 240mm radiator and my 8700K overclocked to over 5.1 GHZ with the Asus auto overclocking features. I have 7 fans hooked up to this system and the airflow is very good. I doubt I would be able to overclock this easily with the Panzer G. I have pics but I don't see any way to upload them If you are on the fence I assure you you will love it Hope this helped

Pros: So, this guy stands tall, has more weight than the Panzer S my friend has, dust filters where you need them, and almost management for everything is there. i haven't installed any water cooling, but have a series of different products for a good air flow build and have had all my internals for a year. i7 7700k. Gigabyte Ultra Gaming z270 rev 1. 32 gigs of G.skill RAM at 3866, two sticks which are the RGB as a recent addon, 2 more to follow later. deepcool gammaxx rgb heatsink 6 (more to follow) Thermaltake 120mm Riing Plus RGB fans NZXT Hue Plus for strips (6 of 8 so far) samsung 850 EVO 500 gig 2.5in SSD Seagate Barracuda Pro 8tb for long term storage EVGA 1000g Modular PSU (for now, even with the shroud it fits and is a beast, but i need a longer/better cable for the 24 pin and cpu connection, maybe some cable mod may happen) Zotac 1050TI (for now, waiting for the 2000 series) all look fantastic in the case. it is gorgeous and took me a few hours to transfer my build from my old case to this, bit was worth it. It was really nice to work with the open side where the 24 pin connector was. i learned to keep the psu after the bracket was on, off the case until i was done so i could easily slide the usb/mother board connections at the bottom, otherwise its not happening. the case was magnetic so my already used sgrips had no issues attaching themselves and air flow seems to be no issue, but static pressure fans do help!

Cons: to remove the top, youhave to pull the face off, litterally its not screwed in, and you have to use what i feel is generous force. gotta keep in mind as well not to go too hard as, the HDD indicator light on the face is right at too, and you have to either disconnect and route the cable out to lay the face down safe, or just lean on the side of the case which is ok for general maintenance, perhaps being pre set like that in the case wasnt a good idea. Big orange logo looks good, but could have been maybe white instead imo if it has to be there more to follow

Overall Review: I had a great time learning the case and instling everything. for an airflow build im getting great temps, there's tons of room and all the parts are quality. ill add more to this review and links to a vid/pics soon

Pros: - great military looking case -plenty of space -some reviews say they cannot fit a 280 water cooling on top i did it and it works just lovely when you will do it place the radiator inside the case and the fan between the case and the vent on top so when you put the vent back it fits just right.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: I would love if cougar release the same case with temple glass i will upgrade for sure

Pros: Geez, where to start.... * Build quality is ridiculously nice, so rigid and sturdy. Everything conveniently latches together with a satisfying snap. * Functionality, you can take off both sides, the top, and the front grill in about 10 seconds total, and reassemble it just as fast. There's plenty of room everywhere. The built in fan controller is a great touch too. * Design. This thing is just plain cool, I love the idea of the "slide in" drive bays (4 2.5in + 2 3.5in ), building in this thing is just a snap. Because of the way it bevels out on the sides it's no trouble at all closing the back even with tons of wires back there. * Aesthetics. It's just plain impressive. * Value. How is this thing $140!? My last rig was built in a case that cost almost $200 and it was trash compared to this box. Includes a ton of screws and misc hardware, even comes with two 3:1 fan splitters.

Cons: I can't think of one single thing I don't like about the case, I guess if I had to come up with something it might be nice to have the option of installing more then two 3.5in drives. I actually did though, I put a 3rd down with the PSU under the shroud... just used a plastic carrier I had lying around and it fit down there perfectly. Probably could put two or three more down there if I needed. It's just a fantastic case, buy it!
