CONCLUSION

   Thanks to its front fascia design and the large number of features the Challenger Midi Tower is without doubt one of the most impressive and complete midi towers currently in the market in the sub USD100/110Euro category. So not only are you getting an midi tower with a great design but you are also getting a power on/off button that resembles the missile launch button found in attack fighters, plenty of airflow thanks to the pre-installed 200mm/140mm fans, even greater airflow potential due to the extra available 120mm/140mm/180mm/200mm fan spots (top/bottom/side), top 240mm radiator space, adjustable/removable drive cage and plenty of room for even the longest graphics cards (400mm). Of course another plus is that the Challenger is currently available in 7 different colors (as seen above) although would be even nicer if the entire case was the same color.

   As we speak the Challenger midi tower by Cougar retails for a price tag of USD92.32 inside the USA (Purchase Directly from Amazon.com) and 105Euros inside the EU (Purchase Directly from Amazon.co.uk) which places it right next to other best sellers in the market such as the Anidees AI-06, the Prominent 5 by Nexus and the Deep Silence 2 by Nanoxia. That's also the single drawback of the Challenger since it may look great and have a good number of features but it lacks any kind of noise-dampening coating on both its side panels unlike some of the towers we mentioned. In the end each person gets what they like the most based on their needs and taste but at least we are certain that the Challenger will obviously appeal to flight simulator fans such us ourselves (especially if Cougar lowers the price just a bit). Design, build quality, features, available colors and a relatively good price tag are the reasons as to why the Challenger gets our Golden Award.
