Cougar today introduced the FV270, a unique take on the trend of cases with a pillar-less front-left corner. This case features a 5-sided body (excluding the top and bottom); with the tempered glasshouse wrapping around three sides, giving you a more panoramic view of the insides. Toward the front of the bottom compartment, is a uniquely positioned 120 mm intake fan that points diagonally. The entire case is positioned at a slight tilt. The upper compartment with the motherboard tray serves up room for graphics cards up to 45 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 18 cm in height. Since there's no vent along the front-panel, the entire clearance of the graphics card is always available. The expansion slots can be rotated 90°, letting you vertically orient graphics cards (riser not included). The motherboard tray includes a graphics card anti-bending mechanism.

Besides the uniquely positioned front-bottom fan, two 140 mm fan vents are positioned along one the front-right diagonal side. Additionally, there is a massive 420 mm x 140 mm vent along the top-panel, letting you mount up to three 140 mm fans (or smaller). A 240 mm x 120 mm radiator can also be mounted along the bottom of the top compartment. The bottom compartment serves up clearance of up to 25 cm for PSUs, and a drive cage with two 3.5-inch/2.5-inch drive bays. Two additional 2.5-inch drives can be mounted behind the motherboard tray. The case comes in two variants—the FV270 RGB with five pre-installed RGB fans, and the FV270 base model, with just two included non-illuminated fans. The two each have color-based sub-variants of black and white. The case measures 268 mm x 512 mm x 530 mm (W x D x H). Front-panel connectivity includes two USB 3.2 type-A, and a USB 3.2 type-C (20 Gbps-capable). The company didn't reveal pricing.

Update May 23rd: Both color variants are priced at USD $179 and now available on Amazon.

Can we have a review of this case? Looks quite interesting.

Edit: checked product page and this has to be the funniest talking point for a case I have seen in recent times:

VR HMD Samsung Oddyssey, not that I'd plug it into this though....
Software W10 21H1, barely
Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
For a case made of stolen ideas, this is actually looking decent.

It's the Hyte pillarless corner,
It's got the O11D side fans
It's got the NZXT Flow's Basement fan
It's got that whole "raised off the floor on an angled foot" thing that I can't remember who makes - Streacom, Silverstone, InWin?

The end result looks half decent, should have great cooling, and probably won't break the bank.

Was interested reading the title, but dont like anything "covered" on the bottom inside,
like psu etc.
besides, its probably going to be tight with an upright 420 res+pump.

IIRC, almost all cases Cougar has ever made has had this in one form or another, and looks ok here IMHO, but I'm diggin the curved front part though.. if the price is right, I might buy one just to see what it looks like in person :D

All PC cases are nearly the same, and if you see something similar doesn't mean its stolen, its like a car, have 4 wheels so means its stolen from another brand. :D ohh look this car have doors ano...

Watched hands on look posted by Jayz2Cent and overall pretty decent case with only stain in terms of quality being that platform itself.

Processor So old, you don't wanna know... Really!
Everyone says that side fans are a merit of O11D. But they were a thing even two decades ago. This is a chassis from 2005.

And the entire "pillarless" trend, is seems like cost saving effort, rather than some useful feature. And the bottom intate, will never compensate the direct front flow. Even with the side fans.
Looks like something from the kitchen.
Indeed. It looks like a fish-tank, and a blender at same time. Dunno if it is compatible enough for their different purposes :laugh:. Especially the feet, feels like control panel for a food processor.
