Cougar Challenger Mid-Tower Chassis Review

With the side panel off you can see that the black and orange theme continues throughout the chassis. With 7 quick release have drive trays and the quick release clips on the 5.25″ drive bays finished in orange and the rest of the chassis internal components finished with a high quality black paint job.

There is a massive cutaway to the back plate, allowing for quick installations of the CPU cooler and four decent sized cable management cutouts to help keep things neat and tidy.

At the back you can see the pre-installed 120mm fan a little better as well as the water cooling holes just below it, which come fitted with removable caps, so if you don’t need them you can leave them covered, if you do need them, you can fit the rubber grommets that came included in the box.

The high contrast of the drive bays really does make the internal part of the chassis stand out, with the top three 3.5″ drive bays being removable to allow for massive graphics cards, or you can replace the trays with the slimmer 2.5″ trays that came included, allowing you to move the left bracket over, keeping all 7 bays in a 5 x 3.5″ + 3 x 2.5″ format, allowing for slightly larger graphics cards.

Nothing major going on around the back, but we can see clearly the cable management cut-outs and the pre-wired cables for the front panel that provide power to the 120mm front fan, SATA dock, USB 3.0 and standard I/O ports.
