CONCLUSION

   COUGAR has had a successful run with their PANZER line of PC cases and thanks to its 4 tempered glass panels and rugged looks we expect the new PANZER-G to continue that success. Sure it doesn’t feature the most spacious interior we’ve ever seen with a mid-tower but it still has room for up to 6 drives (2.5/3.5”), eight fans (120/140mm) or two radiators (240/280/360mm), 160mm tall CPU coolers, 425mm long graphics cards and 210mm long power supply units so it’s not what we’d call small either. The three pre-installed Vortex LED fans also look great (and are pretty much inaudible) and although we still can’t figure out why COUGAR would “neglect” placing a rear Vortex LED fan as well (cost could be the reason but it’s a good bet that most people wouldn’t mind paying slightly more to also have an exhaust fan) it’s far better than not having any at all.

   With a current price tag set at USD134.49 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 107Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) the PANZER-G Tempered Glass Gaming Mid-Tower is priced just about right especially if you take into account its 4 smoked tempered glass panels. Once again it's rugged looks are not for everyone and it may not be the largest mid-tower in the market today but it still has plenty of room for just about anything you may ever want to place inside and since it delivers in all the areas that really matter it’s definitely worth our Golden Award.
