Why are so many people hating on this cause of dust?? It's an open air system. It was designed to be a showpiece, not to run in your home 24/7 with your 3 cats. That's like hating on a formula 1 car for poor fuel efficiency. That's not what it's meant for!!!
Uhm, no this is like hating on a Honda Civic with a abs body kit and lambo doors. Nothing about this case screams performance. This is looks. Looks. That Tokyo Drift Veilside RX-7 orange paint job isn't an accident.
El espíritu del tigre that’s not the point of the comment. His point was the case isn’t supposed to be used as your daily driver. Just something to show off your parts
It'd have been fine if it were a separate emblem that could be added to the case with some double sided tape or something, but having no options in logo placement, or colors aside from orange kills the show case aspect for me.
I bought this case a while ago and its my favorite PC case ever. As for the orange piece unlike what's stated in this video, it is ABSOLUTELY REMOVABLE by simply three screws at the front. I painted it red along with the five support beams and it looks absolutely stunning!
6 months into my ownership on this thing, here's some notes for those who care: -The orange panel comes off after removing 3 8-32 hex screws (9/64 hex key) on the left side under the front cover (and the side drive mount screws, if you put them). I did this to paint it and as a nice bonus it made managing cables much easier. You can replace the hex screws with thumbscrews to make removal/installation easier down the line. - Coolermaster's vertical GPU mount kit fits without modification, though there's a slight bend back with my Conquer's pci bracket that I attribute to it fully supporting the weight of the GPU in this configuration. This appears to be a consequence of the Conquer's design. - Concerning the suspiciously similar Raidmax X08, the glass mounting screws from that case work with the Conquer's mounts and vice versa. The glass panels, however, are not interchangable with the two. - Careful with the front panel wires as their connectors can be pulled out from the front panel pcb. Reconnect them asap, the open connectors are likely to trigger overcurrent protection in most motherboards and prevent your pc from powering on. This happened to me after plugging in the usb connector with the front panel audio cable pulled out of the pcb. - The front panel unit itself can be removed if you take off the top cover off, revealing 2 screws on each side. Put tape on the power and reset buttons before you remove it because they'll just fall out. - If you mount 3.5in HDDs in the back (which you have to do BEFORE you put in the mobo), the connectors will be pressed straight against the chassis - flat power/data cables ends are a must. Recommend using round sata cables and sata power extensions. This way of mounting also makes it impossible to swap out those drives without a complete teardown, but they don't have any vibration issues (unlike some other cases I've had that use rubber grommets and removable drive trays). - You can lay the case down on the back with HDDs mounted - the support mounts are tall enough to give them about 1-2cm worth of clearance. This only applies if you're laying it down on a flat surface where all 5 support mounts touch the floor. - The left-side glass is a major structural component of the case, I recommend putting it on and taking it off with the case laying down. You can put it on while the case is standing if you mount the glass to the feet first, then pull up on the top to get the topmost mounting hole to align. - This should be obvious, but aluminum isn't magnetic. - The fan screwheads seem undersized compared to the mounting holes for them. - If you've got a ton of cables to stuff behind the front and plan on running intake fans, you can rest assured your psu cables will receive ample cooling. Just make sure they have fan grills to protect both parties from unwanted contact. - Components can build up a thin, even layer of dust on them, especially in/around case fans. However, it's not a huge chore to reach in and get compressed air or even a towel in there to wipe it down. - EATX Mobos fit, though it restricts the passthrough holes. Pre-route your power cables before you try mounting a EATX mobo. - I routed my power cables along the back with the following Cablemod lengths for a ROG Zenith: 24 Pin ATX 700mm 8 Pin EPS 800mm 8 Pin EPS 800mm 8 Pin PCI-E 750mm 6+2 Pin PCI-E 750mm If you have a standard layout motherboard (EPS 8 pins on the back near the IO) and want to route the cable along the back, just go for 1000mm EPS cables.
Literally the most helpful comment I have ever come across on YT. Ever though of doing video reviews? i'm planning on making a sweet build with this case,.
The case looks really good but it's not for those who have dusty rooms. If you have animals and carpets then this will really get a lot of dusts inside the case for a month-two.
Huh :D!You beginner,I have the "dustproof" BeQuiet! Dark Base Pro 900 and I need to clean it every 7 days or my PC will look gray and worn because of my white LEDs.
What would give better cooling. Closed or open? When it's closed, you can control airflow. When open I imagine it's more difficult, but does it matter?
1: Less than 100$ would not be possible due to the odd construction and the materials. I'd think something like 170-250$ would be a lot more reasonable for what they're giving, though. 3: it would be an absolutely massive box and you would need to dissassemble most of it anyway to get the computer inside. 4: Does the name even slightly matter? It's nowhere on the case.
Not a big fan of it honestly... Mostly just the Linus color scheme turns me off. I wish the orange was silver or even white would have been better... BUT it has potential to have an epic custom loop in it!
I think it'd have been even cooler if it were a sort of translucent material, maybe frosted glass with an RGB LED back plate so the entire piece could change colors according to the owner.
So spend $300 on a case that you have to spend money on just to make look right? I'd get it if it was a kit case for $150, which honestly those materials would be able to fall under that price and then people can go crazy making their own color themes.
Wrap the exiting PSU cables is a cloth wrap. Looks really clean and you could even give it some accent color that way. I use all black cables but different color cloths on mine.
yes you are correct. these are for modders I think. Then can do everything on that cable management. For that orange backplate, you could repaint it to match on your desired color theme
Am building in this case. My side panel had screws so I got to change the colour. I agree about the exit point for the cables needing a cover and support pins for the glass.
thanks for the heads up... all other builders so far have miss the mark at listing the honest cons about this case. it will be my second time out building and now i'm not sure i can handle the difficulty this case will challenge me with. that being said i now know what areas will be the most challenging and will require the most attention.
Me personally intend to buy it, and by having a case as "Open" I intend to get something like wrapping material to hold the cables in the rear as you did, but in general, it looks awesome from both sides, might even add a Orange LED strip on the back by the cables so it still glows in between Black and Orange! Great review btw!
Really poorly designed case. it is priced way too high for what it offers (If a case has a premium price, you should not have to think about solutions for shortcomings, as that is something you do with a $50 case. Beyond that, much if the space is wasted as it cannot be easily be used. The upper right hand corner of the case is the most poorly designed aspect of the case. Beyond that, tempered glass should not make a case that expensive. For about $200, I purchased a large TV stand that has 3 rows of tempered class, each about 50 inches long, along with a mount to attach the TV to. That case probably cost about $20-$30 to make.
The shape of the glace increases the price substantially but otherwise I aggree. I like the look of this case but it either needs to be better or be priced lower if it wants to compete with the likes of inWin's high end showpiece cases.
And it's funny, because I spent $65 on my Phanteks Eclipse P400S TG and it's a /great/ case. I have no issues with it. For someone coming from years of full tower cases like the Haf X, I had no issues with building in such a small case, and have room leftover. The cable management was great and it's really quiet. The only issue I would say it has is poor intake airflow, but I've already remedied that by modifying the front bezel. I removed the plastic portion from the bottom of the front clip and glued the LED diffuser directly to the LED's and cut out a slot about twice the size of the one already there for airflow. My temps at idle and load have dropped a good 5 celcius. Idle temps on CPU are 32c with bequiet Dark Rock 3, and GTX 1080 Ti idles at around 35c.
it's about time dimitri and ibra learned to create a watercooled system have watched numerous vids here on the channel with air and AIO coolers...i think it would make an awesome video if they both went in on a water cooled build
Please a review of the Fuji X-T20! You already did one for the X-T2 and you seemed to really like it, but the X-T20 has many of the same features to almost half the price! There aren't many reviews out there on it and I relly do believe it needs some more attention.
Seriously, how much of dullard do you have to be to not understand the point of a case like this? Its fine if you don't it, fine, everyone's tastes are different, but asking what the point is is like asking what's the point of a convertible.
This would be nice for a Cyberninja Hanzo-themed build. White components, black/grey sleeves from Cablemod, white LEDs, and some silver peripherals would look really nice.
I love this case, I would have maybe assed a narrow metal banding frame color match the orange, but maybe change it to anodized copper... 3 D printing some cable management solutions or metal brake bending could be artistically pleasing... I love this case...
I was sure that Alienware Area 51 Gaming-PC had the ugliest case ever, but this takes No. 1 spot all day and year long! JEEZUZ FUCKING CHRIST WHAT A DISGUSTING CASE!!!
I disagree. While I maybe would have went with a different color if I could choose one, at least it's not red. Everything is either black, or red and black, or white, or white and black. Literally everything.
Nice review. The color of the non removable panel i don't like either, I would drill out the rivets and use stainless fasteners on it. Custom sleeved cables and a lotsa combs could help with cables,A tuff series Board would look nice in there with a custom loop. this case is kinda cool in a transformer way .
Really a big fan of the cougar logo and cougar orange. Also love the fan color. Orange black build is the best anyways, reminds me of the bugatti Veyron. Throw a bit of chrome in there and it's go time :) still a hefty price
Replace the orange piece with an acrylic or glass piece and an RGB LED strip on the inside edge of the front panel so when it lights up the entire slab lights up to match your build. Also if they rotate the PSU to match the angle of the mobo, most of those cables will be hidden by the orange panel on the one side. You can also gain more room to take up some cable slack behind the orange panel where most people wont immediately look. That angle will also make it easier to reach under the glass and hit the power switch on the PSU. Out of the box is a pretty meh case but the potential for mods is quite big. I like it, it's different and eye catching. Good conversation piece.
Honestly I like the Orange, I didn't liek ti at first but it grows up on you eventually. I saw one of my friends who spray painted the orange part black and he still regrets doing that xD not that he didn't paint it properly but more of it just blends in the case and we can't differentiate the segments.
The orange piece is removable if you take the front panel off and remove the 6 screws in the front and two on the side. The cougar logo on the glass can be taken off with a sharp razor blade.
I love the orange piece, it's the wrong shade of orange for me. I would do a Lambo orange/yellow color. I would drill out the rivets, and figure out a new way of attaching it. This would allow me to remove it, and powdercoat it. I like this case, only thing I don't like is something to cover up the cables on the back side, a cover plate of some sort.
I'm OK with the look of the Conquer, but the functionality for water cooling is superb! As far as the wires showing on the right side of case, I would just paint the back of the glass black or orange to match case after scraping off the cougar logos (unless they're etched)...the one on the front is enough.
I seen that he had a sponsor from thermaltake for their riing fans are those things any good? They look great for the price and was thinking about getting a 3 pack.
Do you happen to have a link to the Silverstone storage kit? I can't seem to find it and it seems like a good way for me to make use of a couple extra ssds I have laying around
Looks like a good base for modding. Just need to do something about the big dumb logos on the glass.. But the front badge could easily be modded away. Drill the pop rivets and then paint the accent piece. As far as the PSU, well you just need to sew your cables and use custom length cables. Def need a hardline custom loop in there. Maybe Jay could do a build in one....
Have you thought of doing a G403 and G602 comparison video? I feel like it would be good to compare accuracy between an older sensor to the newer sensor in the G403. Especially since the G602 is so cheap.
great video once again this case reminds me of the inwin tou a bit more affordable but after seeing some more reviews on the conquer. there is a good amount of "what if" factors for this case especially for the price but i do like the orange and the case takes the number one spot for aesthetic at least in my opinion

Cougar really loves to force their logo down our throats with each of their cases :D
True that, and with a budget case it's not as bad, but on a $300 case no way!!!

That's my kinda porno.
Will C Agreed
XFacility and their logo is ugly
Spot on with the review, even tho the orange panel cant be removed it could still be spray painted just need paper and painters tape
The orange panel can be removed
With those orange panels on the side it's looks like KTM super Duke 1290 to me.

Looks Insane tbh Even though I'm not the type of person to be all Fashionable I like a good case with no extras attached
Same,...
The Case is ok But nothing I would go with
Lol
Do you know the definition of insane?
Ehhh I think its a cool word it doesnt bother me
I think I am going to buy that because I don't give a damn.
Cougar can't even make a $100 case. and they want me to buy a $300 case. Edgy and I like that
I've heard a lot of good things about the Cougar Panzer, although I've never actually used it myself.
I've got a panzer, solid case for $89 especially with dual tempered glass panels

It has gone so far down the ugly scale it wrapped back around and became beautiful... I am conflicted...
Bear River that is so true.
Im a simple man, I see a hardware canucks video with Dimitri and I click it. The dude just radiates fun and good vibes.
The case looks really good but it's not for those who have dusty rooms. If you have animals and carpets then this will really get a lot of dusts inside the case for a month-two.
basically it's no good for human beings - you would have to live in some positive air pressure lab for this thing to stay remotely clean
yeah but it's not like you have to take it apart to just blast it with some CO2 either
Huh :D!You beginner,I have the "dustproof" BeQuiet! Dark Base Pro 900 and I need to clean it every 7 days or my PC will look gray and worn because of my white LEDs.
Should really clean your case at least once a month dude.......
this strikes me as something that would be kept in a dedicated "no kids or pets allowed" office space or game room. maybe eye candy for a man cave?
What would give better cooling. Closed or open? When it's closed, you can control airflow. When open I imagine it's more difficult, but does it matter?
I would get it if :
1. Less than $150
2. Less branding

5. Minor changes (Better fans)

YOUR CINEMATOGRAPHY IS GETTING WAY BETTER! (kinda reminds me of caseys transitions)

Alex Collins yea silver,grey hell even pink what of been better than that disgusting orange
I think it'd have been even cooler if it were a sort of translucent material, maybe frosted glass with an RGB LED back plate so the entire piece could change colors according to the owner.
Alex Collins but the orange can be token off and painted so it's not a big deal really just spend some time and it would looks better
So spend $300 on a case that you have to spend money on just to make look right? I'd get it if it was a kit case for $150, which honestly those materials would be able to fall under that price and then people can go crazy making their own color themes.

Completely subjective. These comments are worthless.
That case looks sick as hell!!! I have the Panzer Tempered Glass mid-tower and I love it. This maybe my next future case.
Ugly,
Like me
Hans..
Why does everyone hate orange?

Time Laps when you work in out . We need to see how you can manage that cable , looks so clean and nice 👌 very clean .
The orange kills the whole case, keeping in mind that it is already ugly
A scotchpad, cans of matte black and matte clear (scratch protection) spray paint will fix that
it's $300 remember?
WTF, for that price the orange piece should be a custom color for the customer and the cougar logo should be removed.
Orange is a great color though wdym
I disagree. While I maybe would have went with a different color if I could choose one, at least it's not red. Everything is either black, or red and black, or white, or white and black. Literally everything.
Man cougar really coming with some amazing looking cases.
Wow so disgusting a little bit of dust omg
TosiMahtava dust wasn't a problem if it was only for looks. It can be dangerous for some parts
Nice review. The color of the non removable panel i don't like either, I would drill out the rivets and use stainless fasteners on it. Custom sleeved cables and a lotsa combs could help with cables,A tuff series Board would look nice in there with a custom loop. this case is kinda cool in a transformer way .
Shitty case lol
+HardwareCanucks Butt as usual, you do the Best case reviews . The best.
Really a big fan of the cougar logo and cougar orange. Also love the fan color. Orange black build is the best anyways, reminds me of the bugatti Veyron. Throw a bit of chrome in there and it's go time :) still a hefty price
I think you have found your winner for "What were they thinking" 2017 best case awards.
How to make a Hardware Canucks video title:
1- type a question
2- have the answer be obvious without even watching the video
3- done
I saw this case in person at microcenter the other day. It's quite striking.

Someone was either burning the candle at both ends or just woke up - either way, love teh dedication.
lol yeah, just woke up and had to shoot that part before the sun destroyed my WB
It's not a HardwareCanucks video without a message from our sponsor.
Replace the orange piece with an acrylic or glass piece and an RGB LED strip on the inside edge of the front panel so when it lights up the entire slab lights up to match your build. Also if they rotate the PSU to match the angle of the mobo, most of those cables will be hidden by the orange panel on the one side. You can also gain more room to take up some cable slack behind the orange panel where most people wont immediately look. That angle will also make it easier to reach under the glass and hit the power switch on the PSU. Out of the box is a pretty meh case but the potential for mods is quite big. I like it, it's different and eye catching. Good conversation piece.
How did you disassembled the rad and cables from your original kraken aio and mod it to different rad and custom sleeved cables?
Is that orange panel screwed on? If I can take it off easily to paint it this case looks like it's gonna be my next project.
Great looking build! Love how the tubing frames the memory.
Honestly I like the Orange, I didn't liek ti at first but it grows up on you eventually. I saw one of my friends who spray painted the orange part black and he still regrets doing that xD not that he didn't paint it properly but more of it just blends in the case and we can't differentiate the segments.
The orange piece is removable if you take the front panel off and remove the 6 screws in the front and two on the side. The cougar logo on the glass can be taken off with a sharp razor blade.
Man very strong feelings for that logo, and the orange fans
You can drill threw a rivet with a 3.5mm drill bit and put a new one back from the same holes to put it back on.
I love the orange piece, it's the wrong shade of orange for me. I would do a Lambo orange/yellow color. I would drill out the rivets, and figure out a new way of attaching it. This would allow me to remove it, and powdercoat it. I like this case, only thing I don't like is something to cover up the cables on the back side, a cover plate of some sort.
This is what waking up @ 6:57 in the morning looks and sounds like.
I'm OK with the look of the Conquer, but the functionality for water cooling is superb! As far as the wires showing on the right side of case, I would just paint the back of the glass black or orange to match case after scraping off the cougar logos (unless they're etched)...the one on the front is enough.
I seen that he had a sponsor from thermaltake for their riing fans are those things any good? They look great for the price and was thinking about getting a 3 pack.
What's up D'mitri, correct me if I'm wrong, isn't da case name Conquer, not Conquer-er? Ur still da best, homie!
Jayz two Cents did remover the orange peice and repaint it, he also got them to supply side glass without the horrendous Gougar logo on the side.
Do you happen to have a link to the Silverstone storage kit? I can't seem to find it and it seems like a good way for me to make use of a couple extra ssds I have laying around
Even if you dislike the colour orange or it doesn't match your setup, you could always custom paint it.
Looks like a good base for modding. Just need to do something about the big dumb logos on the glass..
But the front badge could easily be modded away. Drill the pop rivets and then paint the accent piece. As far as the PSU, well you just need to sew your cables and use custom length cables.
Def need a hardline custom loop in there. Maybe Jay could do a build in one....
Didn't catch anything about it, but how did you get a Kraken x62 with red sleeves?
this gave me an idea to make a custom painted "Dewalt" brand case, or paint it in the style of one of the boarderland's gun companies.
Cougar makes cool looking stuff
I see HWC = I hit the LIKE Button no matter what.
I admire their attempt at innovation!
The best is that guy on Facebook who made the Ducati design case
I think with a lot of time and patience it would end up looking amazing and unique
Have you thought of doing a G403 and G602 comparison video? I feel like it would be good to compare accuracy between an older sensor to the newer sensor in the G403. Especially since the G602 is so cheap.
great video once again this case reminds me of the inwin tou a bit more affordable but after seeing some more reviews on the conquer. there is a good amount of "what if" factors for this case especially for the price but i do like the orange and the case takes the number one spot for aesthetic at least in my opinion
