INTRODUCTION

   Just like RGB lighting tempered glass also took the market by storm when it was first introduced into gaming and enthusiast oriented PC cases roughly 3 years ago and the rest as they say is history. So today most PC cases to get released feature at least one side panel made out of tempered glass and if you happen to be among the ones who can climb very high in terms of budget you can find massive full tower models with as many as 4 panels made out of tempered glass (like for example the View 91 TG RGB by Thermaltake which we reviewed a couple of weeks ago). Still not everyone has the budget needed for one such PC case and so some manufacturers have released mid-tower models which combine low price and at the same time offer something that looks just as good. COUGAR is one such manufacturer and today we'll be taking a very thorough look at their recently released PANZER-G Tempered Glass Gaming Mid-Tower.
