Cougar - Mx330 Atx Mid Tower Case Review
Looks - 4/5 stars
Pro'south - Clean, well-baked design (my feels). Basement for easy cable management. Two tone's of black. As expected.
Con's - Why I knocked a star, there are four punch-out-able (two on forepart, two on side of front bezel) plastic pieces with their area marked (USB and Fan 1 Fan ii spots) in raised plastic just no functionality. Must be a mold used beyond multiple levels of this case. I picked the -Ten variant on purpose for the side intake, which nosotros will get to later on.
Functionality for my purpose - 3/5 stars
Pro'south - Great cable management (and basement), no grommets on holes every bit expected at this price signal notwithstanding ($42 shipped at the time) so not disappointed. Can mount a 240mm radiator peak, just wouldn't exist able to use an ODD just why lol.
Con'south - Cant employ 200mm side intake if using rear exhaust fan/radiator combo. No hole pattern for 140mm side intake simply got 3/4 screws to concord 1 in nicely was really buying this case to employ with a 200mm but oh well that's why this is labeled "for my purpose".
Overall functionality - 5/5 stars
Pro's - fantastic instance at this price point. Swell airflow. Decent room to work in. Basement for PSU, HDD'south, SSD's, extra cables if not fully modular PSU. Actually similar this instance at this price-signal.
Con's - Nothing at this price-point.
Overall experience - 4.v/5 stars
Pro'southward - Great cablevision management, ensure to road everything before bolting down the PSU/mobo. SSD/HDD hibernate-aways create a clean look. Can take a 240mm radiator at top, just wouldn't exist able to use the ODD, who does though? Front radiator tin can be in push button pull if you have longer than normal screws due to the mode the front bezel area is built. Overall would purchase again.
Con's - Deceit use 200mm side intake every bit purchased for. Rear exhaust radiator in the way. I knock the halfstar off for this, the semi sticky power push button, the knock-out for other USB and fan controls present on front bezel (was pictured as such so cant technically mutter!). This case is a overnice case to work in, and small for an ATX with this many options in my experience (was looking for something similar to the Cooler Master HAF XM, I am very happy with this purchase)
