Konklusion
Dette kabinet har jeg haft kørende på skrivebordet en uges tid, og det har jeg været ganske tilfreds med. Jeg må dog indrømme, at jeg nok ikke lige er til at have en højtydende blæser kørende i øre-højde (på grund af den åbne side med meshgitter), men det er jo ikke noget som den ægte gamer tænker videre over. Kabinettet har sagtens kunnet tilfredsstille kølebehovet i den hardware jeg har haft kørende, og kan garanteret også levere varen til meget mere krævende opgaver med mere krævende hardware, f.eks. flere GFX kort. Prisen ligger på 75 $ ca. kr.600 med moms og lidt avance.
Innovation/Teknologi - 3
Generelt er kabinettet i en god produktionskvalitet. Dog falder sidepladerne lidt igennem, da jeg synes de er for tynde og besværlige at montere når kabinettet står op (de flekser/vrider sig). Der er vel heller ikke tale om de helt store innovative nytænkninger her i dette kabinets indretning. Det er dog et plus at der kan eftermonteres blæsere både i top, bund og side, så kabinettet kan levere en meget fleksibel og individuel køleløsning.
Bundle/Tilbehør - 3
Tilbehøret er meget standard. Der er, hvad du skal bruge for at montere diverse enheder, og det er der jo ikke noget at udsætte på.
Design/Layout - 4
Designet kan man jo altid diskutere. Jeg kunne da nok vænne mig til at have det stående, men jeg er nok mere til de mere stilrene udtryk især på fronten. Det er dog et stort plus, at man fra Cougars side har indtænkt en harddisk dok på toppen. Layoutet inde i kabinettet skiller sig ikke markant ud fra hvad der er standard, men det er da en helt fin løsning de har implementeret, ved at man kun skal skrue på 2 skruer for at ændre det midterste harddisk bur fra 3,5" til 2,5".
Pris - 4
Prisen finder jeg meget rimelig, for man får trods alt et ret godt produceret kabinet med en stor 200 mm blæser, som bestemt kan lave godt med gennemtræk til hardwaren. Derudover har kabinettet også andre features, såsom magnetholdte filtre i siden og i bunden, samt harddisk dokken foroven og Launchknap dækslet, som jo trods alt er meget sjovt(cool).
UK summary
This case has been running on my desktop once in a while over the last week and I have been rather pleased with it. I must admit, however, that I probably is not, nor will be, pleased with having a big fan running that close to my ears (because of the open left side mesh) , but it's probably not anything that would bother a true gamer. The case has been fully able to cool the installed hardware, even when running benchmark programs, so it will guaranteed also be able to deliver cooling for more demanding hardware, such as multiple GFX's.
Innovation/Technology - 3
Generally speaking, this case is well produced. However, I do find that the side plates are rather thin and pretty hard to mount when the case in in the upright position. This case does not hold any real new innovative things regarding the layout on the inside. It is indeed a positive thing, that it is possible to put in more fans. They can be added to both the top, bottom and side, and this contributes to a much more flexible and individual cooling solution.
Bundle/Accessories - 3
The accessories are rather much the standard thing. You get what you would expect to install the various hardware and thats it, and nothing is wrong with that by the way.
Design/Layout - 4
The Design is always up for an argument, but after all I probably could get used to having this case on my desktop. But then again I must admit that I do like a more stylish expression, especially on the front. It is however another plus on the manufacturers part to implement a harddrive docking station on the top. The layout on the inside does not stand out from the standard, but on the other hand it is a rather nice solution they have implemented, that you only need to unscrew 2 screws and tighten them again to reshape the inside and the middle harddrive case from 3,5" to 2,5".
Price - 4
I do find the price to be quite fair, because you do get a well-produced case with a big 200 mm fan that definitely can create quit a draught through the hardware. Besides that, the case has other features such as magnet fastened filters in the side and in the bottom and even a harddrive docking station on top as well as the Launch button cover that is quite funny (cool) after all.
