INTRODUCTION

   The how much popular games like Battlefield and Call of Duty are is very easy to see just by checking their online following or even their sales numbers so as expected from two so successful series of video games there are many people out there who'd really like to have peripherals and components in general that look the part. Now although in the past several manufacturers did their best to cater to the needs of that particular segment of the market lately things haven't been as good so we haven't really seen many gaming peripherals and components in general designed with the military in mind. Still thanks to manufacturers like COUGAR this may actually change sooner rather than later since they recently released a very promising full tower which they named Panzer Max.

   The Panzer Max obviously took its name from the German word Panzer which means armor but in all likelihood most of you will know it from the Panzer tanks Germany rolled out during World War II. Because of that and its very high build quality the case looks and feels a lot like an armored vehicle although the curved corners dressed with carbon fiber seem a bit off (still it's a nice touch). The Panzer Max has enough room inside for E-ATX/L-ATX/CEB/ATX/Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX sized motherboards, up to four 390mm long graphics cards, 170mm tall CPU Coolers, 8 fans and/or 4 radiators and a total of six 2.5" inch drives (or four 2.5" and two 3.5" ones). Other features include a 3-speed fan controller, headphone hook/holder (you need to mount this) and a top area designed in such a way that you can mount your keyboard inside when not in use (of course not all keyboards can fit there). So the time has come for us to check and see whether or not the latest Panzer Max full tower is "the ultimate computer case" like COUGAR markets it.
