In a market full of products with RGB lighting in which even the SSD already have it, Cougar goes and launches this box that has no more lights than the LED indicators of power and disk activity on the front panel (or higher in this case ). For users looking for a sober and elegant box that does not attract attention, this Cougar Trophy can be a very good option, so let’s see what it offers.
Cougar Trophy: steel, tempered glass and minimalist lines
One of the first things that catches the attention of this box is the design of its side. It has a tempered glass window that opens with hinges, and this is not new, what it is is the fact that it does not open the entire side panel but only the top, giving access to the motherboard, graphics card and other internal components, but without letting us see the lower area, where the power supply and storage units are housed.
Note also the front that is not brushed aluminum as it might seem, but is of brushed steel which gives an elegant touch to the box, black except this front that is silver, while resistance. In addition, the front is slightly inclined, which makes it a bit “different.” As is evident, lacks bays for units of 5.25 ″, although up to three 120 mm fans can be installed on the front.
Great cooling and compatible with high-end hardware
Although the front is smooth, this Cougar Trophy supports the installation of up to three 120 mm fans in this area, although according to the manufacturer it does not admit radiators, which we will be limited to installing on the roof of the box but that yes , up to 240 mm (one of 120 mm also fits in the back). There are many cooling options offered, and that you can see summarized below.
As for hardware compatibility, this box supports format motherboards Mini ITX, Micro ATX, ATX and E-ATX (12 x 13 inches). Also admits graphics cards up to 360 mm in length, ATX format power supplies up to 160 mm in length, and it has space to accommodate two 3.5-inch hard drives and 3 more than 2.5 inches, although they can be a total of 5 2.5 “since 3.5” are convertible. Finally, it should be noted that it is compatible with processor heatsinks up to 160 mm high.
The new Cougar Trophy is already being sent to stores by the manufacturer, so we will soon see it listed. And best of all is its price, since despite its high compatibility and using steel and tempered glass, its recommended retail price is just 70 euros.
