14 DAY TRIAL // While Lian Li has the market for small and queer chassis covered, Cougar is releasing a more streamlined model, called Archon.
The newcomer is a mid-tower with three 3.5-inch drive bays, three 2.5-inch bays, two 5.25-inch bays, a mesh front panel, and a transparent acrylic side cover.
It's not quite a side window. Part of it is a see-through piece of plastic, the rest is a segment of mesh, for ventilation.
Speaking of ventilation, there are several 120mm fans inside the chassis, one at the back, two on the front (optional) and two on the side (again, optional). Even the seven PCI expansion slots have vents.
Then, there is the front I/O panel (USB 3.0, audio in/out), a screw-less mechanism for the 5.25-inch drives, and a cavity on the motherboard tray for easy cable routing.
Lastly, the drive bays and mainboard tray of the Archon are colored orange, while everything else is black.
