Cougar Releases Panzer Evo Full-Tower Chassis

[Guest]

This full tower strikes a balance between distinctive styling and the classy but nondescript all-glass design that has become so popular.

A notice to press releases. I want shots of the back panel cable management area. That's the number one consideration for me when buying a new case.

Seriously, it's almost as if after the disappearance of 5.25" drives in newer cases, they are now trying to convince people with 3+HDD to never buy a new case.

Corsair, fractal design have a few with plenty of 3.5 drive cages. I use a fractal design r6 for my plex server it has 6 3.5 drive cages

The only corsair available for me are either from the low end 100R or those with just 2x3.5" bay like the 400C.
Fractal Design effectively exited my market with the Arc Midi.

My only real option is to go bigger and heavier than I'd like with the old Phanteks Enthoo Pro/Luxe, or opt to import, which would be ridiculously expensive with shipping due to the weight of the well-built cases.

Beautiful case. But essentially useless to all but the online only crowd. No 5.25 slots and not enough hard drive cages of either size.
I just don’t understand the forceful push against optical drives from manufacturers. My cosmos II has FIVE 5.25 bays and 3 are used for 5.25 units, 2 drives and a card reader.
The chance of me giving up optical drives for external ones isn’t going to happen until all external optical drives use external SAS/eSATA AND the price of external drives reaches something realistic!

Optical drives are ugly, a waste of valuable space that can be used for water cooling. There's plenty of cases that have 5. 25 racks so u can burn your mix cds, relax.
