Cougar Panzer Series VR-Ready Cases Pictured

btarunr · May 31, 2016

So "VR-Ready case" is apparently a thing. We immediately started looking for front-facing HDMI ports, but couldn't find any. Still, the Panzer MAX from Cougar is an impressive ATX full-tower, measuring 226 mm x 612 mm x 556 mm (WxHxD), with room for E-ATX and SSI-EEB motherboards, up to four 39 cm long graphics cards, four radiator bays, including 360 x 120 mm slots on the front and top panels; and front-panel fan controls. The case can hold up to six 2.5-inch SSDs or four 2.5-inchers + two 3.5-inch ones.

Also shown was its slightly smaller sibling, the Cougar Panzer. This ATX mid-tower seats conventional motherboard sizes, and measures 208 mm x 565 mm x 520 mm (WxHxD), with room for three 42.5 cm long graphics cards. Interestingly, it supports the same number of fans and radiators as the larger Panzer MAX.

I can foresee this as being the most popular case in Israel.

Dafuq is "VR-Ready?" More hype buzzwords to make a sale?!

But is it RGB ready?

Looking at the pictures, I'd say it is setting the new RGB standard.

I'm not sure what makes a case "VR-Ready," but this is certainly an attractive case with a good bit of room. I'd be interested to know what they'll charge for this.

I would imagine they will be fairly good value and reasonable pricing, as their cases have always been so.

The down side is the cases are predominately plastic, if that's something that matters to you. I have an Evolution in the house, and it's not the best, but it is roomy and good enough I can't ever bring myself to get rid of it.
