** COUGAR PURITAS - DAT GLASS **

[ChugNorris]

Available for preorder today we have the Cougar Puritas. The Puritas comes with no less than 4 separate tempered glass panels on the sides, front and top of the chassis. This gives you an impressive view of your system from nearly every angle. Added to that are 3 of Cougars Vortex Red LED fans in the front, along with room for 425mm VGA cards, 160mm CPU coolers along with up to 360mm radiators on the front/top of the case, along with a 240mm radiator next to the motherboard in certain configurations. You can even fit a pair of 120mm radiators at the rear & bottom of the chassis. The front I/O includes a fan controller that can control up to 7 fans, which is useful as the Puritas can support up to 10 x 120mm fans.

The Puritas will be available next week, and represents good value for money considering the feature set available.

front glass panel, with 3 fans in behind it?! kind of pointless surely - though it does look purdy

 

[prjwebb]

Nah. 5mm gap around it, all of the airflow!!!!

The 'in' thing sadly, glass all the panels sod your airflow!

 

[odin1507]

That's a lot of glass.

 

[henson0115]

wasn't it said for the airflow to be unaffected you need around 2inch of gap.

 

[Kelt]

Again, only 2 x 3.5" drives...sigh.

I don't know exactly what the figure is but I know it's not 5mm!

 

[ScottiB]

Don't these case manufacturers know that it's a scientific fact that air doesn't flow through gaps of less than 2cm!!! when will they ever learn?!

In all seriousness though guys, it's different strokes for different folks. Of course this case doesn't have as much airflow as a similar size/spec case would with mesh panels instead of glass but it probably has more than enough for the target customers. We're probably talking a few degrees higher temperatures here & there, which isn't an issue for the majority of users.

It's not marketed as a high air flow chassis so it's a bit unfair to pick on it for that. It's like picking at a Fiat 500 because you can't fit your flat packed Ikea bookcase in the boot.

I actually quite like it, for me it's a step in the right direction, design-wise, for Cougar.

Slick design for sure, rivals the 570x imho. Nowhere to hide lazy cable management!

If you want something with more 3.5" bays, the Antec P110 Luce supports six x 3.5" drives.

That does look pretty good, cheers.

How many hard drives will fit in there?

 

[henson0115]

How many hard drives will fit in there?

8 due to age?

talking 5.3 or 2.5 inches or just standard floppy ?

 

[SimBoy]

LOL - you guys should start your own comedy thread

BTW Cougar (the company, not the pic) do make some nicely designed stuff - I've got the Panzer tower case and am well chuffed with it (all panels are tooless removal for for cleaning) as well as the 700 keyboard & mouse - nice stuff at a resonable price

standard floppy

 

[Ace Modder]

upgrade your floppy to a zip and you will be well away, just don't get your floppy caught in your zip!
