While expensive, the Cougar FV270 is a unique, solid alternative to cases like Phanteks NV7.

Looking at the price, I don't consider $150 all that expensive for a case. In the past, I have purchased Lian Li cases exceeding $200. My biggest concern is with all that glass the case will weigh more AND it will generate more heat on the inside. Though, it really is a nice looking ATX case.

Make boxes more spacious. Manufacturers by inertia still assume that people place computers on the tables ??

I'm glad they called this expensive. The person called it decent but the cons are expensive,loud, and has mediocre thermals with a 3070 they used . I may be wrong on that. I do like the huge size.I don't know much about water cooling but it seems there would be enough room to make it quieter if you were skilled enough to do it.Personally I'd skip on this even if I was in the market for a pricy case. There are like a million cases out there that could match the style generally and actually perform better.And many are a lot more affordable than this cougar.
That's why we have a lot of different choices which is good for buyers.

After having not posted in nearly 10 years, I simply had to after reading this awful review. Now, I don't particularly care for this case and much prefer something like the NV7 (or NV9) or H6 Flow, but come on.

You rely on the single bottom/front included 120mm fan (which is a subpar cheap fan you ought to be replacing anyway) for intake and then add another 120mm fan to the rear as exhaust. This creates negative air pressure, and in a glass case too boot. You also use a cheap air cooler on the CPU. You utilize this unrealistic and awful setup and then have the audacity to complain that thermals are terrible?

Then you set both of these fans to run constantly at 50%, the GPU fans to run at a constant 75% (which is unnecessary even under load in a properly cooled case,) and the CPU cooling fan to 100% which is also completely unnecessary, and then complain about how loud the "case" is?

This individual should not be doing case reviews for Tom's Hardware. The testing methodology is completely compromised. The fan speeds are cranked way up for no reason and totally inadequate cooling is used. The review here does not in any way indicate a realistic scenario in which this case will be used.

Plenty of videos on youtube reviewing this case will all fan slots populated and proper fan curves used and almost every other reviewer has this case performing on par with Phanteks' NV series of cases and roughly as quiet.
