COUGAR today introduced the Dust 2, a compact, tower-type case for Mini-ITX gaming PC builds, characterized by fixed grab-handles along the top. The case comes in three 2-tone trims—gold, silver, and gray. Inside, you'll find a vertically partitioned layout despite its narrow width. This is because it relies on a PCIe riser cable to orient your graphics card vertically in the left chamber, while the right chamber has just enough room for a Mini-ITX motherboard with an AIO CPU block, or a low-profile (<70 mm tall) fan-heatsink. Next to the motherboard tray, toward the front, is the case's PSU bay (max clearance 16 cm length). The right chamber is exclusively for the graphics card, up to 33 cm in length. There's enough room for an RTX 3090 Founders Edition.

Storage options in the COUGAR Dust 2 include one 3.5-inch bay, and two 2.5-inch trays. Ventilation options include two 140 mm top exhausts, with the ability to hold a 280 mm x 140 mm radiator. Front panel connectivity includes one each of USB 3.x type-A, type-C, and a 4-pole analog headset jack. Including the 36 mm-tall handles, the case measures 175 mm x 335 mm x 403 mm (WxHxD). The company didn't reveal pricing.
