Cougar QBX Mini-ITX Tower Chassis Pictured
Here are the first pictures of Cougar's QBX mini-iTX tower-type chassis. Measuring 158 mm x 373.5 mm x 282 mm (WxDxH), the case can seat a standard mini-ITX motherboard, with 160 mm tall CPU coolers, and graphics cards as long as 35 cm. In the picture below, Cougar installed a Radeon HD 5970, which is among the longest DirectX 11 graphics cards ever made. The case can also seat a standard ATX power supply towards its front portion. Its cooling features include two 120 mm exhausts on the top, with provision for 240 mm x 120 mm radiators; an 80 mm rear exhaust, and a 120 mm intake on the side panel. Storage area includes one 5.25-inch drive bay, one 3.5-inch internal bay, and three 2.5-inch ones. Front panel connectivity includes USB 3.0 and HDA jacks.

Now this is serious business !
Aluminium all around !
Hope they will release in europe soon !
I didn't know there was a mini ITX mobo with orange trim available, would love to build a windowed mini PC with a orange & black theme.
It's perfectly forgivable however if they provide you with right angle adapters.
Then in the second pic they do the job.
And you get the right clearence for the cables.
..doesn't seem to be available anywhere though :(
Thnx..I'll be keeping an eye out for it.
I really like the dimensions of this case, pretty much what I've been looking for...but how hard would it be to make one that is matx compatible?
*answers own question by using 'the google'*
Ok then. Well, I guess they did a pretty nice job, all things considered. Damn you, (form factor) physics. Still wish someone would make one that's essentially this on it's side, so could either be wider/'taller' to accommodate microatx. I like the depth, though....not enough designs like this (and the m1).
