Good-looking cable management is a real nightmare because of the dual glass side panels-there are plenty of cutouts available for strapping cables to, but none that easily make things look tidy. The top of the case is a hinged lid that opens to allow fan installation and removal hinging this lid constantly during building and rebuilding the case caused some very minor wear on case coating at the corners, but nothing noticeable. The feet are especially wide and firmly locked into the case and both glass panels. The glass side panels feel somewhat token, given that the case is basically open to the elements, but they must be installed for the case to be fully stable. The brackets do their jobs fine, but they aren’t as heavily reinforced as the rest of the case. The body feels a little wobbly during installation without the added support and balancing from the glass panels, but once they’re in place the case can be safely picked up and moved by pretty much anything except the PSU and PCIe brackets. This is proven both by its appearance in several trade shows and by its date of arrival to the market.ģ) COUGAR reserves the right to decide at any time whether to pursue legal action against those brands and companies that design, produce or sell counterfeit products or any product whose design, appearance or functionality infringes in any way COUGAR’s legal rights.Ĥ) COUGAR remarks that Conquer’s quality of design and materials is first rate, and recommends paying attention to this area when purchasing a case with a rich, elaborate design such as Conquer.īuilding the case is straightforward if the instructions are followed and no parts are missing. In view of this situation, we want to reassert that:ġ) Conquer is the first case using this popular design style. It has become known to us that a products that imitate to an unreasonably extent CONQUER’s design and aesthetics have recently reached the market.

Using a new, patented design, we wanted to explore uncharted territory in gaming PC case design using unique aesthetic elements that set it apart from the existing cases on the market. One of the products that best exemplifies our commitment to constant improvement and breaking boundaries is our CONQUER case. We at COUGAR value creativity and originality as one of the driving forces of the whole electronic entertainment sector. We haven’t asked either company directly what’s going on-Cougar’s design has been available longer, but frankly, it doesn’t matter (to the consumer).Ĭougar provided this statement to GamersNexus on the Raidmax situation:

The components are so visibly identical that the latter seems more likely, which would make it more a matter of course rather than something underhanded. Apparently Cougar is also fully aware of this and have been extremely snarky about it, but it’s unclear what’s happening here, whether Raidmax and their supplier genuinely ripped off an original Cougar design or if an OEM like Jonsbo is simply double-dipping with their tooling.

The Conquer does fit in visually with the rest of Cougar’s product line, but it also bears a close resemblance to the Raidmax X-08, to the extent that it seems like they’re coming out of the same factory. The translucent orange fans included with our review sample were lit by red LEDs (not the most pleasant combination), but otherwise it looked just as good as the ads. The case’s appearance is a large part of what will make users love or hate it. It’s technically an open air chassis, but with a case-like frame, providing mounting points for several fans. The vast majority of the chassis is constructed from 5mm thick aluminum and both sides are tempered glass, making it much heavier than the skeletal frame implies.

It’s easy to underestimate its size in pictures because of its unusual shape, but it’s large enough to easily fit a full ATX board at a diagonal, making it both taller and wider than standard cases. Cougar gets some points by default for managing to ship a glass-panelled case from Asia without anything shattering, unlike another case we received (review coming soon). We’ve reported on Cougar products in the past and reviewed their budget 200K keyboard back in 2015, but this is the first hands-on experience we’ve had with one of their enclosures. The Cougar Conquer is an open-air case with a unique design that’s already attracted a lot of attention.
