Cougar Evolution Case Review

The Bottom and Rear Panels

The bottom panel has a big, removable air filter, covering the meshes available for the power supply fan and for an optional fan. This air filter is removed from the rear panel, so you don’t need to lift your case whenever you want to clean this filter.

The rear panel and the interior of the Evolution are painted black.

Another highlight of the Cougar Evolution is the presence of eight expansion slots. (Usually, cases have seven.) This allows you to install three or four video cards in your system, depending on your motherboard. The slot covers are vented.

There are two holes for hoses of liquid cooling solutions, but you have to break them if you want to use them. At least the case comes with two plastic rings to be installed in these holes.

The Evolution comes with a 120 mm fan identical to the one available on the front panel installed on its rear panel.

The reviewed case comes with a loop for you to install a padlock or warranty seal, preventing unauthorized people from opening the computer.
