Cougar Rolls Out VTE X2 ARGB Power Supply Series
Cougar today rolled out the VTE X2 ARGB line of mid-range power supplies targeted at e-Sports gaming PC builds, particularly those who value a lot of RGB bling in their PCs. This PSU is characterized by a 120 mm addressable RGB LED-illuminated fan, and an ARGB-illuminated Cougar logo along one of the sides (the other having the power distribution and regulatory stickers). The PSU features an internal ARGB controller, and a button near the AC receptacle lets you cycle between presets. You can also sync the PSU to your build's lighting through a 3-pin ARGB connector.
The Cougar VTE X2 ARGB comes in 550 W, 650 W, and 750 W capacities, and offers fixed cabling. Under the hood, you get a single +12 V rail design with 80 Plus Bronze efficiency, up to 99% power factor, Japanese standby capacitors, DC-to-DC switching, and most common electrical protections. All three models come with one 4+4 pin EPS connector. The 550 W and 650 W models include two 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors, while the 750 W model comes with four. The 550 W model comes with five SATA power connectors, while the others have eight. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Because of words RGB and e-sports gaming it will cost around 80euro.... how about - no!
In Europe midrage non moldular 600W PSUs (80+ Bronze, DC-DC, such as Chieftec Proton or SilentiumPC Vero L2) cost about 50 - 60 euro. It they will ask more it wouldn't be worth to buy it.
I've seen some iTX cases that are a total fail in that they have the PSU fan directly over the CPU cooler fighting for the same air, and the cases are solid cubes with little airflow. :slap:
