Cougar Panzer Max Full-Tower Chassis Review

A Closer Look – Interior

Pop the side panel off using the quick release handle, and you can get instant and easy access to your chassis interior.

The mechanism is pretty chunky for the panel lock and looks and feels pretty durable.

There’s a huge amount of space on the interior, and it looks super clean too. This is due to two major things, no visible hard drive bays, and a full-length shroud in the base.

The shroud is plastic, but it has a really nice design to it while offering a great way to cover the bulk of the cable routing and the power supply.

In the rear, all the expansion slots are fitted with easily accessible thumbscrews and reusable covers.

The rear 120mm fan is the same design at the two in the front panel and I’m very happy to see they’re all great looking high-quality fans, adding to the overall value of the chassis.

Two 5.25″ drive bays tucked in the top right, handy for usual devices, but you can also use them as extra 3.5″ drive trays if you need to.

There’s loads of room up front for thick radiators, but you’ll notice the front fan can drop a little below the shroud providing airflow to components under there. There’s also an air guard at the back, directing airflow behind the motherboard for your rear mounted storage devices.

There’s a huge amount of space behind the motherboard, and there needs to be to deal with the cable routing for such a well-equipped chassis, but also for the fact all the storage bays are back here.

There are four easily removable 2.5″ drive bays on the left side, as well as a few large cable routing grommets.

On the right, two removable 3.5″ drives, giving you lots of bays to play around with.
